Look for products made from natural, renewable, and certified "biodegradable" materials.

Almost all plastics are made from chemicals that come from planet-warming fuels (gas, oil, and coal). And plastic never fully decomposes and disappears, it just gets smaller and smaller.

The manufacturing process of a product can have a significant impact on the planet. Look for companies that prioritize reducing carbon emissions, water usage, and waste generation.

Zero Waste means waste prevention and where all materials are reused. It forbids sending any unused materials to landfills or incinerators.

Look for companies that use recycled materials in their products, because this helps keep waste out of landfills and conserves our precious natural resources.

Let's do our best to eliminate dangerous chemicals! In the outdoor space, PFC, Brominated Flame Retardant, Parabens, Phthalates are some the toxic chemicals to avoid.

If only all products could be compostable and biodegradable. Commercial composting is rare. If you find a product that is certified At-Home Compostable, then you have won! Also seek out products that are Marine Biodegradable!

This is no single-use product! It may be plastic... yet it will last a lifetime.
