Being Green | WoodSprite Organic Body


	For Us, Being “Green” isn’t Just a Marketing Gimmick -- It's a Part of Daily Life
	With the growing demand for natural, organic and “green” products, a lot of companies have hopped on the bandwagon and adopted a “greener” image. But being “green” is about more than a few empty words in a glossy magazine ad or on fancy packaging. WoodSprite was born from a passion to make the finest, purest, most complete organic spa and body care products available, while being a leader in a newer, more sustainable business model. For us, being “green” isn’t just an idea, it’s a lifestyle, and for more than 10 years, it’s always been at the very heart of everything we do. Just some of the steps we take on a daily basis…
We use only whole, natural and organic ingredients in our products. Never Chemicals or Synthetics of any kind. Most of our ingredients are food-grade and edible!
We use Recycled, Recyclable, Reusable and/or Biodegradable Packaging, as well as minimizing excessive or unnecessary packaging whenever possible.
We use 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Paper in all of our product labels, as well as invoices and daily printed matter. We also reuse single-sided printed paper before ultimately recycling it.
We Reuse and Recycle boxes and packing materials from our incoming supply shipments in our outgoing packages.
We use 100% Post Consumer Recycled Toilet Paper, Paper Towels and Napkins (nope, they’re not scratchy).
We conserve water by using special high pressure, low-flow trigger faucets in our production area.
We light our work spaces with fluorescent and compact fluorescent, low wattage bulbs.
We use appliances, computers and business equipment which meet Energy Star standards.
We recycle everything we can. In fact, we put out only about one small bag of garbage per month!
We compost all food, botanical and biodegradable waste and then use it in our herb gardens.
All of our cleaning is accomplished with eco-friendly, biodegradable natural soap, vinegar and baking soda.
We have invested in carbon offsets which divert non-renewable energy into wind and solar power.
We NEVER test on animals, or use ingredients tested on animals. Instead, we test on happily willing friends and family members.
