Hey y’all!
My name’s Evan, native to Westport, MA, new to the Boston area! Ever since I was 14 I have been involved in eco friendly practices while working on an organic farm during my high school summers, but it wasn’t until I attended Ithaca College that I really knew what it all meant. Being encompassed in sustainabile practices throughout my four years at Ithaca taught me...

Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) are prodding more manufacturers to change their packaging to cut waste and alleviate “wrap rage,” the frustration felt when a product is difficult to open.
The nation’s largest online store and the world’s biggest retailer have been pushing vendors, including Procter & Gamble Co. (PG) and Bluetooth headset maker Plantronics Inc. (PLT),...

All were incredible events where we met great,...

Preserve Products. Recycled. Made in the USA. →
We are really excited to finally be carrying Preserve.
You’ve probably seen their products around - toothbrushes, razors, cups, plates, even tongue scrappers. All made out of 100% recycled plastic and all 100% recyclable.
Preserve products are all made in the USA. In fact, Preserve is based in Waltham, MA, not 15 miles from bGreen World Headquarters here in Boston.

Re-Case: 100% Trash Made iPhone Case →
Another great product from Miniwiz. Rice farming by-products, usually discarded as agricultural waste, are reprocessed and added to post consumer plastics to make the material for the Re-Case iPhone case. We’ve had a lot of customers love Miniwiz’s HYmini solar chargers, so we expect another hit with the Re-Case.

Why Bamboo Plywood?
Bamboo Plywood is an excellent option when it comes to your furniture and cabinetry. Bamboo Ply is a super dense product, making it more durable than a lot of common hardwoods.
To outfit our bGreen Mobile Showroom we used Bamboo Plywood in several different applications - a kitchen cabinet, a bookcase, shelving, and a seating area. In all cases we were able to showcase the unique characteristics...

We sold a ton (well maybe a quarter ton, literally) of bamboo plywood to a customer currently in Arlington but moving to Somerville. They’re going to use the...
