Products with the icon "low/no packaging" are minimally packaged with protective coverings that have been reused, can be composted, or are completely recyclable. Low packaging is sometimes more desirable for containment (tea), for cleanliness (a baby's teether), or for holding parts together (a set of sheets). Since packaging almost always contributes a negative environmental impact, shoppers should consider products having the least amount of packaging. Better yet, choose products with absolutely no packaging (like naked bars of soap). Products with the "low/no packaging" icon may be free of any containment or protection; however, they may come with a tag. Considering low or no packaging for waste reduction is the hallmark of "reducing", the first of the 3 R's.Products with the icon "locally made" are manufactured in New Hampshire.

Typical recyclable materials include plastics numbered 1-7, aluminum, glass, metals, paper, and cardboard.Products with the icon "recycled/reclaimed" are comprised of materials that have been removed from the waste stream and reconstructed into other useful products.

This Bona Fide icon describes a product with a recycled or reclaimed content of 50% or greater. Recycled materials are typically processed using waste products with varying degrees of intensity and environmental impact. Reclaimed materials use waste products typically as is (with minimal or no processing). Overall, recycled products reduce energy and conserve water because virgin or raw materials have been wholly or partially substituted during the processing phase.
