Why You Should Buy Eco-Friendly Products in 2023?

It’s a new year, which means we’re all establishing fresh goals to smash as we progress into 2023. And one of those goals for everyone should be to live more sustainably. The planet needs us to turn things up a notch in the eco-friendly sector because she’s suffering, and we’ve caused enough damage. 

One way to do this is to change  your consumer habits and buy eco-friendly products. And this isn’t limited to one area of your life. No, you can be more environmentally conscious in all aspects, such as kitchen, bathroom and lifestyle. There are so many reasons why you should make the switch, and we’re here to tell you why.

What Are Eco-Friendly Products?

Eco-friendly products are items spanning across a wide range of categories that are much better for the planet than traditional options. This includes cleaning products, food storage, planet-conscious kitchen plastics, and much more! Think of pretty much anything, and there’s bound to be an eco-friendly alternative.

Environmentally friendly products are made from materials that are recyclable, renewable, compostable or biodegradable or a combination of these. They can be gathered from natural sources rather than harmful, man-made materials like plastic and are often made from as little water as possible. An example of this is HIP’s reusable coffee cups. Made from coffee grounds and husk that would have otherwise been discarded, these magical coffee cups are recyclable and made from renewable resources. Plus, they look great!

Eco-friendly products are essential when it comes to slowing climate change and preventing further damage. The more we consume single-use plastics and other harmful materials, the more greenhouse gas emissions we release into the atmosphere – damaging our precious planet. We only get one planet Earth, so we need to start treating her with respect. The way to start doing this is by switching to sustainable products.

Four Reasons to Buy Eco-Friendly Products

They’re More Sustainable

Eco-friendly products are better for the planet, plain and simple. They’re made from renewable resources or materials that can be reused, recycled or composted, meaning fewer greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. By using eco-friendly products, you’re helping to reduce your own environmental footprint and making a real difference for our planet. 

This doesn’t just have to be through lifestyle products such as coffee cups and reusable containers. At Urban Ethos, we stock a whole range of cleaning products to keep your home extra eco-friendly. Cleaning supplies have harmful chemicals in them that cause damage to the environment, and continuously purchasing these plastic-bottled products does more 

harm than good. Our bathroom cleaning kit, for example, comes with a reusable bottle. And the cleaning tablet? Simply dilute it in water, and you’ve got a top-quality bathroom cleaner!

Ethical Supply Chain

When buying eco-friendly products, you’re also supporting an ethical supply chain. Urban Ethos creates and stocks planet-conscious products spanning a vast range of categories to do with your home and lifestyle. We work with eco-friendly brands to ensure their products are ethically produced and sourced, meaning you can rest assured that when you shop with us, you’re supporting an ethical supply chain.

Reusable and Recyclable 

While single-use plastic items need to be discarded after use, sustainable alternatives can be used again and again. This means that you’re not contributing to our growing waste problem. In addition, they can be recycled or composted if needed, which helps reduce the number of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It’s a win-win situation!

Even though some plastics are stated as recyclable, this unfortunately does not mean they aren't doing damage to our planet.  Recycling processes require energy and resources, which still indirectly causes pollution and damage to our environment. By using eco-friendly products instead, you’re helping to reduce the amount of waste we create each day, as well as reducing your own environmental footprint.

Better Quality Products

Eco-friendly products are often of higher quality than standard alternatives. This is because they’re made with natural materials, meaning they last longer and are more durable. Not only that, but many of these products look far better too! Take our range of water bottles, for example. Made from recycled sugar cane stalks, these babies are sturdy and built to last – and at an affordable price point. Not to mention, they look amazing!
