Editorial Policy

Editorial Policy
Effective date: 2025-08-30

Our goal
Provide clear, helpful guidance for plastic‑smart living, with transparent trade‑offs.

How we evaluate products

  • Materials & design, especially food‑contact surfaces
  • Durability and care requirements
  • Use‑case fit (who it’s best for)
  • Price and availability

Independence
Affiliate partnerships do not determine our recommendations. We decline partnerships that require positive coverage.

Updates & corrections
We update posts over time as products change. If you see an error, email Support@swapoutplastic.com. We’ll review and correct when warranted.

PF badges
We use these badges to explain plastic‑contact trade‑offs:

  • PF‑100: no plastic in any food‑contact parts
  • PF‑Lid‑Off: remove lid when hot or pour into a glass before reheating
  • PF‑Silicone: silicone touches food; avoid sharp tools/overheating
