Buy
Better

In a world of disposable goods, fast fashion, and fast food, it's hard to know which products are sustainable and which have been “greenwashed.” At Bluedot, we do the legwork for you by selecting options that meet our editors' high standards for sustainable materials or ingredients, eco-friendly packaging, fair labor practices, and overall regard for the planet and its people. These products aren’t perfect (consumption, after all, has a cost to the planet). But they are better, leading us to our pledge: Buy less, but when you do buy — buy better.

Tried and tested by our editors

Saltverk

Bluedot’s Good Libations columnist and social media manager, Julia Cooper, didn’t understand what the deal was with fancy salt. Then, she discovered Saltverk. Handcrafted in Iceland, the deliciously sustainable salt is made from local seawater that’s heated using the island’s legendary geothermal energy.

Misfits Market

Misfits is an “online value grocer dedicated to making affordable, high-quality food more accessible while helping break the cycle of food waste.” It recently acquired Imperfect Foods, another online grocer in the business of selling “ugly” produce. Both have fans here at Bluedot.

King Arthur Baking Company

King Arthur Baking Company traces its roots to the 1790s, all the way back to the country’s first flour company. Now an employee-owned, Certified B Corp, King Arthur looks decidedly to the future. They’ve created an impressive list of sustainability goals to attain by 2030.

Nimble Tech Accessories

Tech products — chargers, wires, phone cases, adapters, and the like — often have short lives, either because they’re made poorly, become obsolescent, or both. Nimble aims to make those items sustainably and to help prevent existing tech detritus from becoming landfill waste.
