JCPenney launches Simply Green
From Home Textiles Today -- Kids Today, 3/20/2008 9:16:00 AM
Department store operator JCPenney has initiated Simply Green, a set of eco-friendly packaging and presentation graphics and definitions to assist shoppers in their decision-making on JCP private label merchandise.
Working with eco-celeb Danny Seo, JCPenney has conceived three levels of eco-designation within the Simply Green system:
Organic: made from at least 70% raw materials such as organic cotton or linen, which have been grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides
Renewable: made from at least 25% renewable materials such as bamboo, Sorona, Ingeo, soy, capiz shells or wood that comes from certified, well-managed forests. These materials are replenished by natural processes at a rate comparable to or faster than their rate of consumption.
Recycled: contain at least 25% recycled materials, such as recycled cotton, recycled glass (home products), and recycled polyester made from soda bottles. All of the materials help reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.
We would love your feedback!
