San Diego, CA — June 24, 2025 — Just in time for Plastic-Free July, nationally recognized microplastic expert, climate scientist, and science communicator, Dr. Jennifer Brandon, is launching a curated monthlong product series designed to help consumers take meaningful steps toward a lower-waste lifestyle. Each product featured was personally vetted by Dr. Brandon for sustainability and long-term impact, all to make sustainable living more accessible and practical for everyday consumers.
Beginning next week, Dr. Brandon will highlight new products throughout the month of July on her TikTok @jennionbrand, showcasing plastic-free swaps that reduce reliance on single-use plastics.
Products featured will include:
- Bamboo cutting boards and PFAS-free cookware by Caraway
- Reusable silicone food storage from Stasher
- Low-waste coffee and tea alternatives by Lakota
- Non-toxic household cleaners from Seventh Generation and Method
- Edible, compostable straws by Loliware
“These aren’t just gimmicky greenwashed products,” says Dr. Brandon. “Each one was carefully selected based on science, their environmental footprint, and real usability. I want people to know that becoming more sustainable can be simple, and that these are high-quality, beautiful products that are easy to use every day.”
To streamline access to her vetted product picks, Dr. Brandon has launched a curated Amazon storefront, providing a centralized resource for consumers exploring plastic-free alternatives. The storefront also reflects her commitment to transparency, as affiliate commissions support her ongoing work in public education and advocacy.
Dr. Brandon is available for in-person and virtual TV interviews throughout July to share insights from her Plastic-Free Product Series, offer simple tips to reduce household plastic use, and explain how microplastic pollution impacts human health, ecosystems, and the economy.
As a San Diego–based climate scientist and founder of Wild Beacon Consulting, Dr. Brandon brings science-backed credibility, media fluency, and product knowledge to every segment. She has previously appeared on national and international outlets and is known for making complex science accessible, relatable, and actionable.
According to the Plastic Free Foundation:
- Between 1950 and 2015, an estimated 7.8 billion tonnes of plastics were manufactured, and half of this was produced in the last 13 years alone.
- We go through 10 billion plastic bags worldwide every week.
- 8-12 million tonnes of plastic pollution enters our oceans each year.
- Over 60 million plastic water bottles are used in the United States every day.
- Only 9% of our plastic has been recycled, and only 10% of that has been recycled more than once.
- Recycled plastics are mostly downcycled, meaning that they’re recycled into products of lesser quality, which are less likely to be further recycled.
