PLEET — Plastic frEE Takeout

Eat well. Protect our oceans.

Find restaurants working to keep plastic out of the ocean. Every meal is a chance to protect what we love.

956 certified restaurants and counting.

PLEET is a free public directory of restaurants that cut single-use plastic. Every listing is scored on fourteen specific practices, from composting to reusable foodware. Owners declare what they do, diners confirm it, and the score blends both. Certified listings come from the Surfrider Foundation’s Ocean Friendly Restaurants program. Other listings are recognised by plastics and sustainability programs, each named on the listing, and are scored on the practices those programs verify.

Waste less, without guessing

A takeout container is a small decision that happens several times a week. Pleet makes the better version of it easy to find.

What is an Ocean Conscious restaurant?

A restaurant that has cut single-use plastic in concrete, checkable ways: no polystyrene, no plastic bags, reusable foodware for dining in, proper recycling, and single-use items only on request. The certified listings on PLEET come from the Surfrider Foundation’s Ocean Friendly Restaurants program; the rest are added by owners and diners and scored on the same fourteen practices.

About the certification
How is a restaurant scored?

The score blends what a restaurant reports about its own practices with ratings from people who have eaten there — 70% owner-declared, 30% community. Fourteen practices are weighted by how much difference each makes. The full breakdown is on the How scoring works page.

How scoring works
Is PLEET free to use?

Yes. Browsing the directory and the map needs no account, and the app is free. An account is only needed to save, rate or add a restaurant.

How do I get my restaurant listed?

If it is already listed, claim it to keep the details current. If not, add it: you will be asked which of the fourteen practices it follows and it appears in the directory straight away, where diners can confirm what you recorded.

For restaurant owners
Who runs PLEET, and do you inspect restaurants?

PLEET is an independent directory, not a certification body. We publish what restaurants declare and what diners confirm, and we do not inspect restaurants ourselves. Certification data is sourced from the Surfrider Foundation’s Ocean Friendly Restaurants program.

Know a restaurant doing this well?

Add it to the directory, or rate one you have already been to. Both take a couple of minutes and both make the next person’s choice easier.
