The variety and number of eco-friendly products and brands available today are on the rise.

Springing up everywhere are eco versions of the items we use on a daily basis to make our way of life greener. Such green products include:

• detergents, washing liquids and other household cleaners,
• soaps, shampoos and other personal care products
• cosmetics
• clothings
• food products
• baby products
• products and remedies related to pets
• gift products
• furniture maintenance products, paints and other agents used in the home
• energy efficient light bulbs, refrigerators and air-conditioners, and other household appliances
• gardening tools
• eco cars

As such, we decided that our website would not be complete without a directory of some of the environmentally friendly products available.

Information in this directory is mainly provided by the manufacturers or producers of the various products, so you can have first hand information about the products on the market.

Information you can expect to find include why the product is considered environmentally friendly, the certifications (if any) that the product has and where the product can be purchased.

Some of the eco products or brands listed in this directory may be manufactured on a large scale in factories, while some others are actually innovations or inventions by the layman green-goer. In fact, the stories of innovative eco products created at home by avid green-goers (e.g. Jim Atkinson and his energy efficient space heater) may be especially inspiring to read about.

So find out more about the various going green products in our directory below.

In addition, if you are shopping for eco products, you may also want to check out the reviews of green products and brands contributed by our readers, to find out which brands and products are of quality and value-for-money, and are truly eco friendly.

You can also leave your recommendations or criticisms of eco products you have used yourself - what worked and what didn’t, which products are truly eco friendly and which ones are not as green as they seem, etc. Such information can help others make better purchasing decisions.
