There are a variety of goods that a social business can engage in, including eco friendly products.
To give you a taste of what sort of products are in demand, check out the eco friendly range as discussed below:
Eco Friendly Fabric Online
The websites Fabrics.com features a wide variety of eco friendly fabrics. A fabric can qualify as being eco friendly if it is made from natural fibers such as cotton, hemp or bamboo which have been grown without the use of pesticides in soil that has not been treated with pesticides for at least three years. If the fabric is dyed, it must also be with a low-impact dye.
A fabric that is made from recycled plastic can also be considered eco friendly. For example, Fabrics.com offers a pure organic cotton fabric in a beautiful range of solid colors. These 100% cotton fabrics comply with GOTS certification guidelines and only low impact dyes were used in their manufacture. These fabrics are perfect for a variety of uses, including quilts, home décor accents, craft projects and apparel.
Eco Friendly Fabric Crafts
Examples of craft projects that can be made with eco friendly products include felt food items such as donuts. A fun project by designer Lilly Bean helps you to make felt donuts that look good enough to eat, plus with the addition of a simple ribbon loop they can become great holiday decorations for a Christmas tree or decorative wreath.
The project mostly involves hand sewing, but it goes pretty quickly. Decorative beads can be sewn on to mimic sprinkles, or yarn can be used to mimic a drizzle of tasting icing. The Ecospun Rainbow Felt line of fabric in the eco friendly and organic boutique on Fabrics.com, in colors of Cashmere and Walnut Brown, make the perfect cake and chocolate donuts. Shocking Pink and Peacock Blue are lovely colors for the “icing”, and each donut should take about 30 minutes to construct.
Eco Friendly Reusable Tote Bags
A line of colorful, eco friendly reusable tote bags are offered for sale on the Fabrics.com site as well. In a YouTube video, the tote bag designers discuss these environmentally-friendly replacements for the throwaway plastic bag.
Lauren and Andrea’s Insta-Totes are reusable, recyclable, and very practical. In Europe a majority of shoppers already carry their own tote bags because most European markets do not provide the throwaway bags that are common in the US. The two designers brought this European tote bag concept to a new level by combining designer artwork with a reusable and practical bag for a look that is function, chic and kind to the planet.
Their very affordable, waterproof tote bags are an attractive alternative for consumers and retailers who want to join the “green revolution.”
