The Shifting Gaia rating evaluates brands based on sustainable practices, ingredients and materials, and social responsibility, among others. These are a few factors influencing this brand's score:
sustainability practices
Green Llama demonstrates a robust commitment to sustainability by providing plastic-free, biodegradable packaging for its products, which significantly reduces single-use plastic consumption. The brand's refillable product model further supports waste reduction by allowing customers to reuse containers rather than dispose of them after each use. Green Llama also actively focuses on sourcing ingredients responsibly, ensuring that they don’t contribute to deforestation or habitat loss.
ingredients & materials
Green Llama excels in this category through their use of natural, plant-based ingredients free from harmful chemicals like parabens, phosphates, ammonia, and synthetic fragrances. Their products include essential oils, including lavender and lemongrass, to naturally fragrance cleaners while avoiding synthetic compounds that can contribute to indoor air pollution. Additionally, all ingredients meet the EPA’s Safer Choice standards, which ensures both safety and environmental sustainability. The brand's focus on using biodegradable and non-toxic materials makes them a leading choice for household cleaning products.
social responsibility
Green Llama is a relatively small company, and while it emphasizes ethical practices and sustainability, there is less information available about their labor practices and community engagement compared to larger brands. They ensure ethical business practices with fair sourcing but lack third-party certifications such as Fair Trade that would provide more transparency about worker conditions in their supply chain. Their focus remains strong on the environmental side, but expanding initiatives in social responsibility would further enhance their impact in this area.
