Knickey
Founders: Lauren and Cayla
Knickey is a sustainable underwear brand that uses Fair Trade certified factories and certified, organic cotton to produce their products. In doing so, they produce only a quarter of the environmental impact that companies using conventional cotton create. To top it all off, Knickey also has a recycling program so you can keep your old underwear out of landfills.
RECESS
Founder: Jackie Stauffer
RECESS produces biodegradable face, body, and hair care products that are perfect for humans on the go, because they are wipes that will fit right into your bag, pocket, or purse! Dermatologist-approved, vegan, and cruelty-free, their products include deodorant wipes, face cleansing wipes, hair blotters, and more.
Majamas Earth
Founder: Germaine Caprio
Produced and sewn in the USA, the clothing at Majamas Earth is made from organic cotton and sustainable fabrics. They have collections for men, women, maternity, and babies. They rightfully preach the idea of caring about what you wear, given that the fashion industry produces 10% of the global CO2 emissions each year.
Cocokind
Founder: Priscilla Tsai
Cocokind prides itself on being a plant-powered, sustainable, and affordable beauty brand. On their packaging, they not only include an ingredients list, but also sustainability facts that break down a product’s carbon footprint and tell you how to recycle each container. A refreshingly transparent beauty brand, Cocokind recognizes the never-ending battle that is the mission to become a more sustainable company.
Sustainable Substitutions for the Home (and more!)
Package Free
Founder: Lauren Singer
Did you know that the average American person produces 4.4 lbs of waste every day? Package Free offers a bounty of products— from toothbrushes, dishcloths, pencils, utensils— to help you get closer to achieving zero waste, all while shipping items to your home plastic-free.
ThreeMain
Founders: Lauren Simonelli and Joe Budzienski
ThreeMain produces 100% non-toxic cleaners, packaged in infinitely recyclable and reusable aluminum containers. They are also proud to carry 100% Organic New Zealand Wool Dryer Balls to eliminate plastics and toxins from the drying process entirely. Oh, and did we mention they’re carbon-neutral?

Mother Compost
Founder: Gwenn Nolan
Mother Compost provides easy access to composting for Philadelphia Mainline residents— delivering and collecting composting bins at your doorstep every other week. According to the EPA, food scraps and yard waste make up over 30 percent of our trash. By composting, you not only divert these materials from landfills “where they take up space and release methane,” but also create soil to help plants grow!
Jungalow
Founder: Justina Blakeney
A home decor company with colorful, creatively designed products (from plants to rugs to wallpaper to ceramics), Jungalow plants at least two trees for every product purchased. They use a water-efficient manufacturing process, and non-toxic finishes on all of their ceramics to protect all those new trees they’re planting!
For Purpose Kids
Founder: Misty Castañeda
For Purpose Kids is a subscription box service that aims to teach social good and inspire kindness in young children with educational Toolkits. They print on recycled paper and partner with companies such as the Eco Packaging Alliance and Yoobi in order to carry out their mission of making the world a better place and providing resources to children across the globe.
