1. eco-friendly

   Environment friendly processes, or environmental-friendly processes (also referred to as eco-friendly, nature-friendly, and green), are sustainability and marketing terms referring to goods and services, laws, guidelines and policies that claim reduced, minimal, or no harm upon ecosystems or the environment.Companies use these ambiguous terms to promote goods and services, sometimes with additional, more specific certifications, such as ecolabels. Their overuse can be referred to as greenwashing. To ensure the successful meeting of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) companies are advised to employ environmental friendly processes in their production. Specifically, Sustainable Development Goal 12 measures 11 targets and 13 indicators "to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns".The International Organization for Standardization has developed ISO 14020 and ISO 14024 to establish principles and procedures for environmental labels and declarations that certifiers and eco-labellers should follow. In particular, these standards relate to the avoidance of financial conflicts of interest, the use of sound scientific methods and accepted test procedures, and openness and transparency in the setting of standards.

Examples of eco-friendly in a Sentence

1. Ashlee Piper:

   Though there are better, more eco-friendly ways to shop, the two approaches to shopping these sites that cause more eco burden are 1) not shopping with modest consumption in mind( buying more than you need, duplicates ‘ just in case, ’ or overindulging in extras or add-ons because of sale pricing) ; and, 2) purchasing excess with an ‘ I ’ll return this if it does n’t work ’ mindset, returns are extremely environmentally taxing, from the transit to the waste and sometimes tossed merchandise, so shop with a mindset of moderation whenever possible.

   I think there are some real problems from a consumer's standpoint when you start to reduce choices — I would say that you're never doing consumers a favor when you're reducing choices and forcing them to take eco-friendly models which will be on the market regardless, the question is : Do we want mandates that force that choice on everyone, especially when it's the more expensive option upfront ?
