How does ecowarehouse select its product range?
ecowarehouse reviews a wide range of products on a regular basis and only a small percentage of these products meet our stringent selection criteria and quality standards. Our product selection criteria includes:

1. The lifecycle of a product is one of the key elements of assessing its impact on the environment and it must contribute significantly to the reduction of energy use.
2. Water saving and harvesting products - should significantly advance water conservation.
3. Products should meet at least one of the following criteria (as a minimum)
   1. Contain a high percentage of recycled material.
   2. Be manufactured from a renewable or sustainable raw material source
   3. Facilitate the use of natural energy source so as to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels.
4. The manufacturers must be able to demonstrate that their manufacturing process is sustainable. This selection criterion is constantly changing as the technologies that we are promoting to address climate change are evolving. As science and industry agree more on the true effects of climate change and develop technologies and initiatives that will help make a difference, so our product offering will reflect these changes.
