“Buy Now!” and the Shopping Conspiracy We Need to Talk About

What Your Shopping Habits Mean for Our Planet

Have you seen the new documentary Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy? If not, take three minutes to watch the trailer above  – it’s a must-see. This eye-opening film explores the hidden truths behind consumerism, showing how everyday decisions impact the planet. 

One of the most startling takeaways is this: globally, we produce 300 million tons of plastic each year. A whopping 50% of this is single-use, meaning it's destined for a landfill (or worse, our oceans) after just one use. The film doesn't hold back in showing how these habits, driven by convenience and over-consumption, are creating environmental havoc. 

But here’s the flip side – the film also emphasizes the incredible power you have to create change. Every purchase you make is a vote for the kind of future you want. 

At Plastech, we’re proud to be part of the solution. Our zero plastic, home compostable products are designed to disrupt this cycle of waste. Whether it’s compost bin bags, reusable grocery bags, or non-plastic straws, our products are proof that you don’t have to choose between convenience and caring for the planet. 

Here are some simple yet powerful changes you can make: 

• Switch to compostable trash bags to reduce landfill contributions. 

• Choose non-plastic straws when dining out or entertaining. 

• Opt for reusable shopping bags every time you hit the store. 

  
  

The film reminds us that the little things add up. If everyone replaced just one plastic item a day, imagine the collective impact! 

A Quick Stat That Will Stick with You: 

Switching from single-use plastic shopping bags to compostable alternatives could save

1 trillion plastic bags a year. 

So next time you’re shopping, ask yourself: What kind of impact do I want to make today? 

Together, we can transform the way we consume and pave the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future.
