A large number of environmentally-friendly and/or sustainably produced products are now available.
Look out for:
- Items with recycled content. In particular, choose recycled toilet paper, kitchen towels, napkins and handkerchiefs.
- Sustainably sourced wood. Make sure that any products made from new timber or virgin timber fibres - from garden chairs to paper and envelopes - carry the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) label.
- Sustainably produced food. Choose organic food and MSC-certified seafood. Also choose processed foods – like margarine, frozen dinners and ice cream – from companies that use certified sustainable palm oil. More on food...
- Energy-efficient appliances and equipment. If you’re buying a washing machine, refrigerator, dishwasher or oven, buy the most energy-efficient model you can afford. The same goes for office equipment like computers, copiers and printers. More on energy efficiency...
- Biodegradable cleaning products. These have fewer negative impacts on the soil and water system.
