Why Choose Eco-Friendly Options

Green products—often called Environmentally Preferred Products (EPPs)—are designed to minimize harm to the environment and human health compared to conventional alternatives. They typically use recycled or renewable materials, are energy-efficient, water-saving, biodegradable and free from toxic materials. EPPs are designed with reduced carbon footprints which helps preserve ecosystems and combat climate change.
