Support Companies That Support the Earth and Future Generations

If you’re like many people worried about the environment, chances are you are on a mission to use products in your everyday life that won’t have a bad effect on the world at large. Seventh Generation is on that same mission. You’ve probably already seen some of the company’s products in stores and may have thought about buying them. Here is what Seventh Generation is all about.

Natural Ingredients, Recycled Packaging

When it comes to anything that you buy for use on your person or in your home, you want that product to be effective. Seventh Generation uses proven, plant-based ingredients for its cleaning and laundry products, which are a more sustainable option than petroleum-based ingredients. Seventh Generation is transparent too, listing every ingredient on its packaging. If you don’t understand what an ingredient is, for example, Caprylyl/Decyl Glucoside or Caprylyl/Myristyl Glucoside, simply go to Seventh Generation’s website and click on its ingredient glossary. There you will find that those ingredients are biodegradable, plant-derived cleaning agents.

The same intent is inherent in the company’s packaging. Seventh Generation uses 100 percent post-consumer recycled plastic to hold its products. It encourages that use its products consumers to continue recycling its sustainable containers as all its packaging is designed with additional recycling in mind. Every decision that’s made by Seventh Generation is done with the future of our planet in mind and how future generations will be affected.
