Catalog > Being Eco-Friendly
The terms "eco-friendly" and "green" have finally made their way into the mainstream, however these terms are rooted in the concern of environmental quality over the past several decades. Upon learning how global manufacturing and trading of goods have revealed harmful practices and substances for both humans and the environment, fair trade and various certification programs have been created, such as Demeter(international biodynamic certification board) .
Being eco-friendly means that we look beyond the product itself and put on our "responsible consumer lens" to more closely consider the manufacturing of the product and its location. When being mindful of buying a product, we want to know what practices were used when growing or harvesting the product materials and who made them. Was it manufactured in a country which exploits child labor? Were harmful chemicals used in the making of this product? Where were the materials grown or made? Under what conditions?
At VannyBean, you will find that our items are eco-friendly in a variety of ways. When you purchase items that are certified, you can rest assured that the product has met criteria that promotes sustainablitity, fair labor conditions and mindfulness of the environmental effects. Look for such certifications as Demeter(international biodynamic certification board) and AGRECO (USDA Accredited Certifying Agent) and RugMark (child labor free).
At VannyBean, we carry innovative items that are made in the U.S.A. or under fair conditions abroad. Below is a bulleted list of what makes our products "green" or "eco-friendly." Of course, specifics are listed in the item descriptions, but this is for your quick review.
