Every year more and more manufacturers are producing new, innovative products using green principles. From recycled fabrics to non-toxic ink, here are some eco-friendly products made sustainably.
1. Beija Flor Jeans
These curve-hugging jeans are made in Brazil at eco-friendly facilities that emphasize sustainable production. The factory recycles water, incorporates plastic from recycled water bottles, and uses nut shells rather than fossil fuels to produce steam power.
2. Re:awakened Cashmere Hats
These adorable handmade hats are made from upcycled 100-percent cashmere sweaters, washed to an even softer and thicker texture.
3. Schick Intuition Naturals Sensitive Care Razor
The packaging of this razor is 100-percent recyclable and made with non-toxic ink.

5. Scotch-Brite Greener Clean Absorbent Sponges
Made with 100-percent natural fibers and 23-percent recycled paper, these biodegradable and compostable sponges are made from agave plants.

10. Vers 1Q Bluetooth Sound System
Made with sustainable wood, these speakers also help fight deforestation and support environmental preservation of U.S. national forests. For every tree used to create a Vers product, 100 trees are planted.
