Sustainable consumerism is an important theme for many new parents today.To begin with, many new parents want to support corporations that are not using poisonous materials. Other parents will not buy products that are made in sweatshops or out-sourced to rural areas in third-world countries.
Fleurville is one small eco business that is leading the way in sustainable parenting. In fact, Fleurville diaper bags was recently certified as “San Francisco Bay Area Green Business” by Marin County, California. Not only that, but Fleurville diaper bags has the honor of being one of the first PVC-free corporations. Let’s look a little deeper at what separates Fleurville from other diaper bag makers.
Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC for short, is a known pollutant and poison that is used in many commercial diaper bags and products, even ones that advertise organic cotton! PVC washes into our waterways, bonding to other heavy metals, and can be found all the way up the food chain from plankton to cattle. Fleurville diaper bags does not use PVC even though it is the most inexpensive plastic on the market, proving it is earth-friendly first and foremost. Instead, Fleurville invested in Green-LAM™, an environmentally friendly polyurethane laminate that does not poison the earth.
Next, Fleurville diaper bags has traded wasteful nylon for a recycled fiber that is made from plastic water bottles. This plastic, called Re-Run™, keeps the bottles from being thrown away in our massive, and rapidly filling, landfills.
Finally, every Re-Run product purchased helps fund the non-profit group called Eco-Mom Alliance, which inspires parents to take the steps to become more eco-friendly consumers. This is exactly how the eco-friendly business world grows, by providing solutions to problems at the same time as quality products.
