Little Bit of Green

So what does environmentally-friendly parenting look like on the ground? For starters, more parents than ever want to support companies that use green business practices. Other parents will not buy products that are made in sweatshops or out-sourced to rural areas in third-world countries.

One baby gear company that is leading the way in this regards is Fleurville. 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. Now is a great time to focus on how Fleurville produces eco-friendly baby products.

First off, PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is a poisonous substance found in many diaper bags and baby products. 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. Known as Re-Run™, this plastic emits less pollutants than new plastic when produced, and also is saving plastic bottles for being added to the landfills.

Lastly, Fleurville donates 3% of its Re-Run products to the Eco-Mom Alliance, which is a educational non-profit dedicating to empowering parents to become conscious consumers. So by purchasing Fleurville products, we are not only supporting eco-parenting, but also showing the world that there is a demand for more green technologies like this.
