Products labelled 'sustainable' generally consist of materials sourced from responsible and renewable sources. Look for labels such as 'recycled material', 'renewable resource', or 'Certified Sustainable Product'. You can also do some research online to find out more about the manufacturer's sustainability initiatives and product transparency.

Many companies today label their products as “sustainable” or “eco-friendly”. To be sure, you should take a closer look at the ingredients and materials to determine if they are made from recycled, renewable and responsible sources. If a product is BPA-free, phthalate-free, and made with post consumer waste or renewable resources it is likely an eco-friendly product. Look for third party endorsements like GreenGuard certifications or FairTrade certificates to ensure what you are buying not only looks good but does no harm to the environment.
