Affiliate disclosure

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Microplastic Defense participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. When you click a product link on this site and make a purchase on Amazon, we may receive a commission. This comes at no additional cost to you — prices are the same whether you use our link or not.

How affiliate links affect our content

They don't change our conclusions, and here's the structural reason why: our credibility is the only asset this site has. We deliberately publish content that costs us commissions — such as telling you that consumer microplastic test kits have serious limitations, or that your existing plastic containers are fine for cold storage and don't need replacing.

How to spot affiliate links here

• All Amazon links on review pages are affiliate links, and every review page displays a disclosure banner at the top.
• Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" for search engines.
• Links to research papers, journals, and institutions are never affiliate links.

Prices and availability

We intentionally never display product prices, because they change frequently on Amazon. Price and availability shown on Amazon at the time of purchase apply.
