One of the ways to be aware of your environmental impact is taking stock of how much waste you create, and how can you move forward with products that create less waste. Avoiding single-use plastic and disposable items is always a great place to start, and it makes sense to look for eco-friendly products, but how can you tell if you're product labeled "green" actually is? Look for established certifications like EcoCert Cosmos for organic cosmetics, Fair Trade Certified ingredients, or GreenGuard Certified products. Also, opt for things made from sustainable or recycled material. Here are 20 products that were made sustainable by companies that are doing their best to help protect our planet.
