PSA: We're Currently Coveting These Eco-Conscious Home Brands

Every minute, one million plastic bottles are purchased around the world (91% of which are not recycled). Every day, toilet paper production consumes 27,000 trees. Every year, 9,400 gallons of water are wasted due to household leaks. In light of these staggering statistics—and in honor of Earth Month (ICYMI, Earth Day was Monday, April 22)—we're paying it forward by sharing a list the sustainably minded home brands we're currently coveting. All of which are doing their part to reduce plastic, paper, and water waste.

Spanning emerging companies like Buffy and Year & Day to established retailers like Brandless and Method, there's an inspiring number of brands embracing ethical and eco-conscious practices in 2019. Which is to say, this is by no means an all-inclusive list of forward-thinking companies that are whole-heartedly embracing environmentally friendly ethos. That said, keep scrolling to shop some of our go-to sources for sustainably made home products.
