sustainability
details:
Agood Company's flagship product, stone paper, uses limestone instead of traditional wood pulp, reducing water consumption by 97% and eliminating the need for bleach or toxic chemicals. Stone paper production also generates significantly lower CO₂ emissions compared to conventional paper.
The company uses closed-loop systems in their production, ensuring waste is minimized and resources are reused wherever possible. They claim carbon-neutralality and offset emissions through certified carbon offset programs, although more detailed reporting on the offset initiatives would strengthen transparency. Packaging materials are plastic-free, compostable, and made from recycled content.
While these efforts are notable, third-party certifications beyond B Corp for sustainable material verification (like FSC for their packaging) would further substantiate their claims. Increased data on lifecycle assessments for all products would also provide a clearer picture of overall impact.
non-toxic
details:
The company prioritizes the use of natural, recycled, and non-toxic materials across its product lines. For instance, their phone cases are plant-based and biodegradable, while pens are made from recycled plastic. Stone paper, free from chlorine and acids, ensures products are safe for both consumers and the environment. However, the company does not yet provide detailed testing or certifications (like OEKO-TEX) to confirm non-toxicity or safety across all materials.
social responsibility
details:
Agood Company's B Corporation certification confirms its adherence to high ethical and social responsibility standards. B Corp certification involves rigorous third-party assessments, ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, and ethical supply chain management. Additionally, the company is transparent about their partnerships with ethically audited suppliers and prioritizes workers' rights in their production processes.
The brand's commitment to community development is evident through initiatives like educational programs and carbon-offset projects that support reforestation.
