Our Story

🌊 A Mission to Untangle the Turtle from Plastic

Welcome to Tu-Untangle – your destination for plastic-free, eco-friendly alternatives to single-use products.

This journey began not as a business idea, but as a deeply personal mission: to help protect the oceans and the incredible creatures that call them home—especially sea turtles.

🐢 The Moment That Changed Everything

A few years ago, I watched a video that truly shook me. A sea turtle, beautiful and helpless, struggled as rescuers carefully removed a plastic straw lodged in its nose. It was heartbreaking, but also motivating.

As an avid diver, I had already seen the pollution plaguing our oceans firsthand—plastic bags drifting in currents, single-use packaging littering reefs, and waste piling on once-pristine beaches. That video turned my frustration into action.

🌿 From Inspiration to Action

I founded Tu-Untangle to offer practical, sustainable alternatives that help people reduce their reliance on single-use plastics.

Our goal is straightforward:

  • Make eco-friendly products accessible and appealing.
  • Encourage small changes that lead to big collective impact.
  • Support ocean conservation efforts through charity partnerships.

Our plastic-free essentials include everything from bamboo toothbrushes and biodegradable cotton buds to silicone travel bottles, makeup remover pads, and eco-friendly travel sets. Every item is designed to be reusable, effective, and beautiful—so you don’t have to choose between convenience and sustainability.

🌍 Our Commitment

At Tu-Untangle, sustainability isn’t a buzzword. It’s our core promise.

  • Plastic-free, compostable, and reusable packaging
  • Ethical sourcing and quality materials
  • Low-waste production practices
  • Supporting marine conservation charities removing plastic waste from vulnerable coastlines

Every purchase helps fund these critical clean-up efforts and raises awareness about ocean health.
