eco friendly
Gentle on nature
Eco friendly describes products, practices, or behaviors that minimize harm to the environment: eco friendly packaging, eco friendly cleaning products.
The term signals reduced pollution, sustainable materials, or lower carbon footprint.
Often hyphenated as eco-friendly, especially before nouns.
Marketing has stretched the term thin—genuinely sustainable practices and greenwashed products both claim the label.
