• Use of materials that are sustainable, recyclable, or reclaimed
• Processes that lower waste and cut carbon output
• Choices that create zero or little waste
• Ingredients that come from plants, nature, or organic farms
• Trusted marks like B Corp or fair trade
• A share of sales that helps environmental or social causes
