How on earth to detect if something is sustainable, for real 😶🌫️?
Certifications are one ally. These little insignias can help you see through the slyness ✅.
We’ve re-arranged the planet’s most popular certifications - from the ultimate guide on our website - into an intuitive periodic-table style graphic.
For more info on these certifications, including our faves and also a fair summary of some of the criticisms (because certifications aren’t flawless), have a peek at the full article.

🌿 How Areca Palm Leaf Products Reduce Carbon Footprint 🌍
In today’s world, making sustainable choices is more important than ever. 🌱 One simple yet powerful way to contribute to a greener planet is by switching to areca palm leaf products. These eco-friendly, biodegradable alternatives help reduce carbon footprints in various ways—right from the sourcing of materials to the end of their lifecycle.
Here’s how:
Naturally Sourced: Made from fallen leaves, no trees are cut down, making it a zero-impact material.
Chemical-Free Production: No harmful chemicals or additives are used in the manufacturing process.
Completely Biodegradable: After use, these plates decompose naturally, leaving behind no waste.
Want to know more about how areca palm leaf products can contribute to a sustainable future? 🌿 Dive deeper into the science and benefits in my latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/gvnW52Fd

Check out NFW's first Impact Report. We are big fans not just of the products using NFW's sustainable materials, but also their approach to their work. They are "Earth-enthusiasts" who pay attention to the impact of their operations.
"This report tells the story of our work to date to wean the material economy off plastic and fossil fuels by creating (and scaling!) high-performance materials that come from nature and that can safely return to nature. This is a story about a new standard for circularity. We're trying to do things the way nature does things: every end is a new beginning."
Sixty-five percent of the global textile market is now made of synthetics like polyester and polyurethane.
This is a problem. These synthetic materials are plastics made from fossil fuels and treated with hazardous chemistries.
None of this is good.
Plastic is the petroleum industry’s plan B. As renewables weaken fossil fuel’s grip on the energy market, plastic demand is projected to nearly double in G20 nations by 2050. By 2050, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from plastic production and consumption are estimated at 56 gigatons, ~10-13% of the world’s remaining carbon budget.
At NFW, we are not content to put a band-aid on this fundamentally limited, linear system of waste production. NFW is scaling a naturally circular, plastic-free material platform with the raw inputs that nature itself uses to create, recycle, break down, and recreate.
NFW is tackling the plastic crisis with high-performance, nontoxic, biobased materials. We have designed a nature-based material platform geared toward systems-level change: it delivers performance with scalability, sustainability, and natural circularity.

What is Biochar?
How can it benefit a circular economy?
Read about this unique idea which seeks to sequester carbon from organic materials whilst generating cleaner energy.

Many cleaning products nowadays are described as being biodegradable, but what does this actually mean?
A basic definition of 'biodegradable' typically describes something that is able to decay naturally and in a way that isn't harmful.
In terms of cleaning products, this would describe a chemical that can be broken down by natural processes, into harmless substances such as water and carbon dioxide.
These types of products are therefore much safer for the environment.
Our Kemsol Green products are biodegradable and specially formulated to reduce environmental impact.
It's even Eco Choice Aotearoa certified, which proves that it's safer for families and the environment.
