Soap and Lotions Company reduces Carbon Footprint

January 13th, 2010

Eclectic Lady, a one-woman home-based company that makes yummy soaps, sachets, lotions, room sprays and smelly jellies, announced recently their commitment to environmental packaging and principles.

From their press release:

Reducing Our Carbon Footprint:

  • The envelopes on our sachets are made from recycled paper.
  • Most of our packing materials are reused from shipments we receive and from other local businesses.
  • When we buy packing materials, we made sure they are made from recycled materials and are materials that can be easily recycled.
  • The packing peanuts we purchase are 100% biodegradable and water soluble. They are made from corn, wheat or potato starch. You can wet them a little bit, make them stick together, and build stuff with them. It’s like a free toy with your purchase! They also happen to be static free, too!
  • Your invoice is printed on recycled paper.

    • As a long-time fan of Eclectic Lady’s products, I was thrilled to see that not only am I supporting a work at home mom company, but I am making sure the products I use are not hugely contributing to the planet’s waste stream.

    I recommend the perfume oils, the room sprays and the smelly jellies for making your world smell great. The fair-trade African products are also unrivaled.

      That’s great! We all really need to be doing our part to start making a difference. I love hearing about businesses starting to do that! Thanks for posting this. :)

      It’s true; all companies need to make an environmental statement of some kind and show their commitment towards a better world. Kudos to Eclectic Lady.
