S.U.S - The alternative to plastic store

Single Use Seas is an e-commerce website that provides high quality plastic-alternative products that are not readily available on the high street. 

The items we choose to sell are those designed to help the buyer reduce their consumption of mainly single-use forms of plastic which are largely being blamed form the environmental waste crisis that we see today.  

It has been estimated that the volume of plastic in the ocean will outweigh fish by the year 2050.

This current trajectory is not only bad news for our wildlife, it should be deeply concerning for the human

Plastics take hundred’s of thousands of years to degrade. Every piece that has entered the ocean so far will stay their for the remainder of our history and we are adding to it at an exponential rate.

If the damage to our natural world isn’t enough to prompt change then perhaps the impact on our health might as It takes little sense of irony to understand that our current ‘consumer culture’ will ultimately result in us consuming that which

When plastic enters the ocean it breaks apart in to tiny bits that we call micro-plastics. These micro-plastics are then eaten by the likes of zoo-plankton and other micro-organisms that mistake them for their usual food source algae. Unlike algae however plastic cannot be digested and builds up within the gut. The micro-plastic particles then cumulate in the bodies of the animals that eat the micro-organisms and they are passed up the food chain to us. It is likely that a single person is already consuming tons of plastic over one lifetime. 

By the time plastic-toxicity becomes a recognised health concern the problem will unfortunately be too difficult to reverse as there is simply no way to remove micro-plastics particles from the ocean.

One of the difficulties in the war against plastic is the shear scale in which it is used. There is no doubt that offers a safe, cost effective and convenient way to package food or throw away

It is the aim of Single Use Seas to increase the accessibility of some of the best alternatives to the most problematic single use plastics. All our products are either from sustainable materials or they use plastics in a sustainable (re-usable) way, look out for our environmental grading system to see how. 

The vast majority of our products are not widely available in the first world and therefore must be shipped form suppliers from all over the globe.
