What are the standards for plastic-free? I suspect almost every piece of clothing with zippers is using nylon thread and backing, as well as plastic materials tags.

In our case it means 100% plastic free. It's much harder, but it can be done. For example: https://mover.eu/products/merino-techfleece-jacket

Materials Face fabric: 100% merino wool Bindings: 100% merino wool Threads: 100% cotton Zip teeth: 100% zinc copper Zip tape: 100% cotton Zip slider: 100% zinc copper Zip puller: 100% zinc copper Labels: 100% organic cotton

That's commitment! To add on this, I've seen companies use natural materials such as coconut and corozo for their buttons
