I’m Plastic Free Podcast Interview with SBS Italian

SBS Italiano

As some of you may know, the background behind our founder is Italian. Simona, born and raised in Italy, migrated to regional Australia in 2013 to follow her husband and leaving a promisinh carreer in MedTech in Switzerland.

We contacted the Italian-speaking arm of Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) Australia, known as SBS Italian at the end of last year… and one day two weeks ago we received a phone call that they were interested in learning more about the story behind I’m Plastic Free.

If you understand Italian, read this article and listen to the 10-minute interview in the link.

We’re so honoured for this great opportunity to tell our story, as a migrant living in regional Australia, as an eco-warrior, and as a start-up entrepreneur!

    or

    Your Answers

    1. New Brands / Solutions Questionnaire

    • Business Name
    • Business Website
    • Business Location

    2. Business Ethics

    • Are your products manufactured or sourced based on their minimal harmful impact to society, which translates to no child labour, no exploitation, fair wages for workers, social security payments, safe working place and fair-trade?

    3. Manufacturing Process

    • Are your products manufactured or sourced based on their minimal harmful impact to our environment, which translates to being made of natural and organic material (i.e. bamboo, organic cotton), therefore zero waste, or fully recyclable at the end of their long life (i.e. stainless steel)?
    • Is your production chain transparent, i.e. you know where your raw materials come from, how they are being produced and that your providers follow ethical and sustainable production practices and policies?

    4. Product Ingredients

    • Are your products free of toxic chemicals, toxic metals and pesticides (i.e. BPA, Synthetic fragrances, Microbeads, Parabens, Oxybenzone, Formaldehyde)?
    • Are all of our products free of palm oil and its derivatives, also free of responsibly sourced palm oil (RSPO)? At I’M PLASTIC FREE we believe that unfortunately you cannot fill a bucket of water from multiple taps, then try and separate the water showing which tap that water portion has come from. We want to fully fight deforestation as a way to preserve wildlife and minimise global warming.
    • Are your product cruelty-free, i.e. not tested on animals?
    • Are your products vegan?

    5. Product Materials

    • Are your products free of virgin plastic themselves or in some cases have a minimal amount of plastic (i.e. a plastic pump in a cosmetic glass / aluminium bottle < 20%)?
    • Are your products manufactured with recycled / upcycled materials, including recycled plastic, in order to divert them from landfill (i.e. swimwear from recycled fibres)?

    6. Product Packaging

    • Are your products free of plastic packaging?
    • Do your products follow a close-loop system, typical of the zero waste / circular economy, by which customers might be asked to send back empty packaging to be refilled with new product (i.e. recycling cleaning products’ containers etc)? Or do you simply offer a recycling service (i.e. taking back old socks)?

    7. Certifications

    • Have you obtained any national / international certifications? i.e. Vegan, Cruelty Free, Australian Made, FDA, GOTS, ISO, OEKO-TEX, Certified Palm Oil Free, No Plastic & Compostable, Not Tested on Animals, Australian Certified Organic etc?
    • If yes, which one(s):

    8. Shipping Process

    • Do you ship your products with compostable or recycled packaging?
    • Do you ship your products with carbon neutral delivery (i.e. in Australia through Sendle, Shippit or Australia Post?
    • If yes, which carbon neutral delivery service do you use?
