Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate Flamingos’ Life “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:
It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
