So 93% of you told us sustainability is either ‘a focus’ or ‘a big focus’ for your business over the next year. That’s huge! And the number one way you said you’re trying to become more sustainable is by choosing more eco-friendly products. So we thought we’d help you out with that.
If you’re looking to stock more eco-friendly wholesale products, here’s a selection of small brands (in no particular order) which are making big moves for the environment. All are available to shop wholesale on Creoate.
‘Eco-friendly’ can take many forms. There are brands producing reusable products to combat waste (think: beeswax wraps and keep cups), and there are those who are producing existing products in more sustainable ways. We’ve included a healthy dollop of all, with a highlight of their key green credentials.
