“$8 billion a year worth of plastic is thrown into landfills.”
- National Observer
As you read this, our planet is suffocating under the weight of discarded plastic. Every minute, staggering amounts of plastic are dumped into our delicate ecosystems. From clogged oceans to overflowing landfills to littered streets, plastic is scattered all around you.
Plastic pollution has become a global crisis.
However, there is good news: recycled plastic is a game-changer. By recycling our plastic, we can transform this synthetic material into a force for good and reduce our waste.
“Flipside Plastics is one of many local businesses who have stepped up and found innovative ways to be part of climate actions.”

Hey, I’m Laska.
I grew up in Strathroy, Ontario. Our small-town community shared and borrowed items instead of buying them. Avoiding a wasteful consumer lifestyle is part of who I am.
I wanted to make home products that were sustainable and functional. So, I began Flipside Plastics. I learned the ins and outs of the recycled plastic industry from injection molding to manufacturing. In the midst of this, I became pregnant with my first child, Roe.
It has been a wonderful journey becoming a mom and entrepreneur (#mompreneur), see for yourself.

My young company has tons of heart (and a small carbon footprint). It’s important to do things right so we earn your trust. My first product is the beginning of a journey and what Flipside aspires to be as a company: to offer you uniquely designed Canadian-made home essentials that look beautiful, create peace of mind, and reduce plastic waste.
“What really sets this soap dish apart from others I’ve tried is the fact that it’s sustainably made using recycled plastic. It’s reassuring to know that my purchase is contributing to reducing plastic waste and making a positive impact on the environment. Thank you Laska and Flipside Plastics for creating such a thoughtful and sustainable product!” - Jeremy B.
A heart-to-heart talk.

I believe education is paramount if more people are going to understand plastic and the issues we’re currently facing.
