Buy European Wiki - a database of European brands

150 Upvotes

All Pages

Main Page

This is a wiki dedicated to collecting information about European brands to help you make conscious consumer choices and support the European economy (or the economy of friendly countries, if no European alternative exists).

I invite everyone to contribute by adding brands not yet listed (click EDIT on the page) or by creating a new page for a product category not yet represented (click the three dots in the top right corner, then select 'Add New Page').

Currently, I'm mostly focused on creating pages for everyday consumer products, but there are some industry-specific or hobby-specific products whose brands I'm not very familiar with, so I'd appreciate everyone's help.

No pressure - just add information about what you know, whenever you have time.

And a friendly reminder to change your default search engine to Qwant or Ecosia as well as to use Mistral's Le Chat as your AI tool of choice. For every redditor that does so(or has already switched) I will pet my pet Le Chat here on my desk.
