Qualities

Biodegradable ▸ x The product or its components can be broken down by natural forces into the simplest possible molecules under commonly found conditions and in a reasonable length of time. Did you know? For something to be considered biodegradable it must completely break down and return to nature in a reasonably short time. The difference between biodegradable and compostable items is that when the latter breaks down it turns into compost, which can provide valuable nutrients to the soil. Different materials take different periods of time to biodegrade. Paper could take 2 to 5 weeks while plastic might take 5 years. Or even 100 years! There is now an array of biodegradable plastics on the market, including PLA. But not all bio-based plastics biodegrade. Just because something is biodegradable doesn’t mean it’s good. Some things that break down are hazardous.	Non-Toxic ▸ x Upholds stringent Abe’s Market standards for natural products. Must cause no adverse impacts on human or environmental health. Did you know? Non-toxic would be a non-issue in a cleaner world, but the dirty truth is that over 80,000 different chemicals are in use today, with another 2,000 or so materials introduced yearly. Many of these synthetic substances don’t pass the safety test. Research by the National Toxicology Program suggests that up 10% are carcinogens. Out of 2,800 substances used in amounts over a million tons in the U.S., only 7% or so have been fully studied for toxicity. Between 15% and 30% of us report reactions to the unhealthy ingredients found in common consumer products.
Compostable ▸ x Ingredients or packaging able to naturally biodegrade into the simplest possible molecules in a reasonable length of time and under conditions commonly found in home or commercial compost systems. Did you know? Though many products are labeled compostable these days, that doesn’t mean they’ll actually compost. Compostable items need access to air, light, water, and microbes to break down. These aren’t readily available in most overstuffed landfills. Beyond food scraps, things like tea bags, newspapers, lint, hair and nail clippings, and even some diapers are technically compostable. There are many different ways to compost—from a pile in the yard to a box full of worms (aka vermicomposting). The EPA states that organic materials like food scraps and yard trimmings are the largest component of our trash and solid waste. Composting is a great way to minimize what’s in our landfills!	Supports Charity ▸ x The seller gives a portion of every sale to a charity of their choice. Kind of makes you want to buy extra, doesn’t it?
Made in the USA ▸ x The item has been produced or manufactured in the United States. Did you know? U.S. labor tends to be more expensive than labor elsewhere, so companies have outsourced their work in droves. The outsourcing of work means there are less manufacturing facilities stateside than there once were. Made in the USA has therefore become a point of pride, and not only in the auto industry. Labor conditions overseas—depending on the country—are often less safe than they are here in the USA, putting workers at risk. Many workers outside the U.S. aren’t paid living wages. Some countries present both slave and child labor concerns.	Vegetable-Based ▸ x The raw materials used for the product’s ingredients or components come from vegetable sources. Did you know? A veggie-based product could be derived from vegetables, contain vegetable inks or dyes, or even be made from vegetable plastic. Ever wonder how blue dye can be made naturally considering the dearth of blue plants available? Two words: red cabbage.
Made with Plant Based Plastic ▸ x Plastic made from plants, like corn-derived polylactic acid (PLA), which uses less energy and emits fewer pollutants when manufactured than petroleum-derived versions. Did you know? While most plastic is derived from oil and natural gas, plant based plastic comes from things like corn and cornstarch. Some of the plants used to make plastic are genetically engineered. Plant based plastic isn’t always biodegradable.	Woman-Owned Business ▸ x The company producing the product is owned either wholly or in significant majority part by a woman or women. Did you know? Between 1997 and 2007, the number of women-owned businesses grew twice as fast as those started by men. A victory in the battle of the sexes? Still a ways to go... While women own 30% of privately held businesses, they’re only responsible for 13% of the sector’s employment. Women business owners do far more with much less. Studies show that they typically start with less capital than their male counterparts. They still manage to supply paychecks to 7.6 million employees. 7.2 million businesses in the U.S. are majority-owned by women.
Natural ▸ x Though natural has no government or official definition, we value the word. Greatly. To us it means purer, safer, from the earth. And that's not marketing hype, we promise. Our sellers do, too.
