The Best Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Brands to Shop with on Rakuten
You don’t need to wait for Earth Day each year to start shopping sustainably, but it’s a nice reminder to support eco-friendly companies and consider how your actions can impact our planet. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite Earth-friendly brands that offer Cash Back through Rakuten. Shopping at these stores is a win for you and a win for the environment!
Baggu
Baggu seeks to reduce our dependence on single-use plastics by designing reusable products, including pouches and bags made from nylon. We especially love the company’s reusable bags. The colorful prints and patterns on Baggu products are much more fun than plain plastic bags.
Glow Recipe
Glow Recipe is a certified carbon-neutral skin-care brand with eco-conscious packaging. The cartons its products come in are made from recycled paper and printed with soy/vegetable ink, while the shipping boxes and air-bubble packaging are 100% recyclable. Glow Recipe also focuses on clean ingredients. In this Soothe and Hydrate Serum Duo, you’ll find ingredients such as rice milk, avocado butter, plum and vegan collagen.
Nisolo
Nisolo recognizes the current faults of the fashion industry, so it has set a goal to help reduce the industry’s carbon footprint with its sustainable products. The company also pursues 100% living wages and meaningful health-care benefits for its employees.
Patagonia
Patagonia has made great strides to reduce its environmental footprint, but it recognizes that there is still more work to do. By 2025, the company will eliminate all virgin petroleum fiber in its products, and its packaging will be 100% reusable, compostable, renewable or recyclable. The shell, lining and insulation of the Nano Puff jacket are made with 100% recycled polyester instead of virgin polyester, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
PrAna
Using organic cotton and hemp, PrAna designs clothing for yoga, travel and adventure enthusiasts. All aspects of its business are socially responsible and sustainable, from its working conditions to its packaging. In 2021, PrAna’s packaging became 100% plastic-free.
Matt & Nat
Matt & Nat products are completely vegan and cruelty-free. Its shoes and accessories are created using nylon, cardboard, rubber, cork and even windshield resin, while its handbags are made from recycled materials, including plastic bottles.
Pact
Pact’s mission is to build the Earth’s favorite clothing company, and the brand takes care to use organic materials and chemical-free dyes in its products. This hoodie is made with 70% organic cotton, which conserves 60 gallons of water, and 30% recycled polyester.
Hydro Flask
Like Baggu, Hydro Flask aims to eliminate the need for single-use plastics. The brand offers a variety of products, from coolers to lunch boxes, but it’s most well known for its eco-friendly water bottles that come in a variety of colors and keep your water cold for up to 24 hours.
Farm Rio
Farm Rio is 100% carbon neutral, and it’s working to incorporate more responsible materials into its clothing. The company also supports various reforestation efforts in the Amazon through its partnership with One Tree Planted. This mini-dress is made with 100% certified organic cotton, a material more eco-friendly than conventional cotton because it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and water usage.
Threads 4 Thought
Threads 4 Thought uses many sustainable materials, including Lenzing Modal and organic cotton. Modal, which is extracted from the branches of natural-grown beech trees, is known for being incredibly soft. These shorts are the perfect comfy spring and summer staple to wear around the house.
It’s never too late to reduce your carbon footprint. A small change in how you choose to shop can have a big impact, so the next time you’re browsing, consider supporting a brand that also supports the planet. Happy Earth Day!
