They make for aesthetically pleasing photos, but, on closer inspection, they’re looking less and less attractive.
Why? Their eco credentials – or lack thereof. So, in search of a happy middle ground, I transformed my routine with sustainability in mind – to road-test products that focus on eco-friendly packaging, ethical manufacturing processes and sustainably sourced ingredients, as well as fair trade policies for workers and farmers.
