What is Green Products?
Green products are the
biodegradable environmentally friendly products. During using these products,
there is no hazard in the earth and environment when it is released to the air,
water or earth. These types of products decompose in a landfill quickly
than similar non biodegradable products. Biodegradable household cleaners,
soaps, dishwasher detergents and laundry soaps are examples of this type
of green product.

Product containing
recycled goods in its construction, also considered green. Because, recycling
reuses a material keeping it out of the landfill and saves on the
environment when alternative materials are not manufactured and used for that
component.
If a product having reduced packaging in comparison to other similar products
requiring less shipping room and can reduce carbon emissions during transport
to market is also considered green.
