Sustainable Parenting With Fleurville Diaper Bags
Many parents are looking for environmentally-friendly products that mirror their values. To begin with, many new parents want to support corporations that are not using poisonous materials. Still others want to make sure that no workers are being exploited to make their consumer goods.
One baby gear company that is leading the way in this regards is Fleurville bags. In fact, Fleurville was recently certified as “San Francisco Bay Area Green Business” by Marin County, California. Fleurville is also one of the first ever PVC-free companies in the world. Let’s look a little deeper at what separates Fleurville from other diaper bag makers.
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 does not use PVC even though it is the most inexpensive plastic on the market, proving it is earth-friendly first and foremost. Fleurville decided to use an eco-friendly polyurethane laminate instead, known as Green-LAM™.
Also, Fleurville has invested in an innovative nylon fiber that is constructed from recycled 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.
