Part 2/8:
Before diving into gift ideas, it’s important to understand how to evaluate products for their eco-friendliness and ethical practices. Joy introduces a set of credentials that Sustainable Jungle uses to assess brands and commodities:
1. Materials
The sustainability of a gift starts with its materials. The ideal products feature natural and organic fibers such as cotton and linen. The focus is on minimizing harm to the environment, steering clear of synthetics and plastics. For true zero-waste gifts, aim for items with an excellent end-of-life trajectory, ensuring they won’t contribute to landfill waste.
