Green Products

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. 
Types of Green Products

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.

How we will know that a product is 'Green'? 

Green products should have labels showing that they are either biodegradable, have been made from recycled goods or were produced from an earth-friendly manufacturing process. So, green Products should have following health and/or environmental attributes:
  • Promote good indoor air quality through reduced emissions of volatile organic compounds. 
  • Durable with little maintenance requirements.
  • Incorporate recycled content (post-consumer and/or post-industrial).
  • Recovered from existing or smashed buildings for reuse.
  • Manufactured from natural and/or renewable resources.
  • Require little energy to produce and transport materials.
  • No CFCs, HCFCs or other ozone depleting substances in the product.
  • No highly toxic compounds in the product as well as in the production process.
  • Gained from local resources and manufacturers.
  • "Sustainable Harvesting" practice exists in wood or bio-based products.
  • Easily reusable.
  • Readily recyclable in a closed-loop recycling system.
  • Biodegradable.
