OUR CRITERIA

We prioritize products made from sustainable, renewable, or recycled materials. Whether it’s organic cotton, bamboo, recycled plastics, or biodegradable packaging, our goal is to reduce the demand for virgin resources and minimize waste.

The people behind our products matter. We choose brands that are committed to ethical labor practices, fair wages, and safe working conditions. This ensures that the products you purchase from Ecotlas support a fair and just supply chain.

We seek out products that are produced with minimal impact on the environment. This means considering factors like water usage, energy efficiency, and pollution reduction. We partner with suppliers who actively work to reduce their carbon footprint and minimize harmful emissions.

Packaging waste is a significant environmental concern, which is why we prioritize products with plastic-free or minimal packaging. Whenever possible, our products are shipped in recyclable, compostable, or reusable materials to minimize waste.

Sustainability starts with durability. We believe that high-quality products that last longer are better for the environment, so we select items that are designed to withstand the test of time. This reduces the need for replacements and promotes a culture of mindful consumption.

For our personal care and beauty products, we ensure that they are cruelty-free and, wherever possible, vegan. We avoid products that are tested on animals and focus on plant-based, natural ingredients that are gentle on both people and the planet.

We support brands that give back to their communities or engage in environmental initiatives. From planting trees to donating a portion of profits to conservation efforts, we believe that every small action counts. By choosing products with a positive social impact, you’re helping us contribute to a better world.

We prioritize products that support a circular economy by being fully recyclable, compostable, or designed to be easily repurposed at the end of their lifecycle. We believe in promoting products that encourage reusability, repairability, and a waste-free future.

To help combat climate change, we give preference to brands and products that are carbon-neutral or engage in carbon offset initiatives. This includes supporting suppliers who actively measure, reduce, and offset their carbon emissions.

Transparency is key to building trust. We work with brands that openly share details about their sourcing, production practices, and labor standards. Clear, verifiable information about the supply chain allows our customers to make fully informed decisions.

Innovation drives progress, and we support brands that use advanced, eco-friendly manufacturing techniques. This includes energy-efficient production, water conservation, and waste reduction methods that lessen the environmental impact.

Whenever possible, we source products from local, small-scale, or artisanal producers. This supports local economies, reduces shipping emissions, and preserves traditional crafts. We believe in empowering communities through fair trade and direct partnerships.

We ensure that our products are free from harmful chemicals, pesticides, and synthetic additives. This criterion is especially important for personal care, home goods, and clothing to ensure they are safe for both people and the environment.

We choose products that help conserve natural resources and protect biodiversity. For example, we favor brands that avoid deforestation, promote sustainable agriculture, or contribute to reforestation and habitat restoration efforts.

Sustainability includes social responsibility. We collaborate with brands that foster inclusivity and support marginalized communities, creating opportunities for underrepresented artisans and small businesses globally.

Water is a precious resource, and we prioritize brands that actively manage water usage throughout their production process. This includes choosing companies that use water-efficient practices, recycle water, or source materials from areas that are not water-stressed.

Sustainability is a journey, and we value brands that are committed to continuous improvement. We seek out companies that set measurable sustainability goals, regularly review their impact, and are transparent about their progress.

We support brands that use renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind, in their manufacturing processes. Prioritizing brands that commit to energy efficiency and renewable energy reflects our commitment to reducing overall environmental impact.

We seek products that meet recognized sustainability standards and certifications, such as Fair Trade, GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), and B Corp. These third-party certifications provide reassurance that products meet strict environmental and ethical standards.

We value brands that not only produce sustainable products but also actively educate and inspire their communities about eco-friendly practices. Companies that advocate for environmental issues or offer resources for sustainable living align with our mission to promote eco-conscious lifestyles.
