Amazon Launched a Climate Pledge-Friendly Home Line
Amazon just made shopping greener so much easier. Amazon Aware is a brand new line from Amazon that features products that are all carbon neutral and carry certifications that are part of the Climate Pledge Friendly program.
Amazon Aware carries apparel, beauty products, household and bed and bath items, as well as recycled goods and products made completely from organic materials. The carbon footprint of each item in the collection has been calculated by a third party (ClimatePartner) and the footprint is then analyzed to determine the level of emissions an item’s material, production, and distribution produces.
Amazon has also curated the items in the collection to fit the company’s new Compact by Design packaging certification, which includes a process to remove excess water and air from packaging to reduce waste and reduce carbon emissions.
And despite the new compliances and certifications, Amazon hasn’t upped the prices. You can grab a set of 100-percent organic cotton sheets with a 300 thread count starting at under $50, which is comparable to other bestselling sheets in the marketplace. And a 24-pack of 100-percent recycled toilet paper will only set you back $17.
Amazon has given itself a lot of room to expand the Amazon Aware line, so keep your eyes peeled for new items that get added to the collection.
