Blue Labels
We rely on the Blue Labels, a set of sustainability standards where each brand justifies the way in which certain sustainability criteria are met for their products.
Every producer is required to explain in the product description the process that takes its manufacture.
All users can confirm the information provided by the provider online by giving them a positive rating or by challenging them with critical comments.
This way, our community helps us ensure a sustainable shopping experience at Bluehouse.

Waste Reduction
Also known as source reduction, it is the practice of using less material and energy to minimize waste generation and preserve natural resources. For example, reducing unnecessary packaging from manufactured products and produce.
Emissions Reduction
Carbon footprint reduction.
A carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an individual, event, organization, service, or product, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent. [1] Greenhouse gases, including the carbon-containing gases carbon dioxide and methane, can be emitted through the burning of fossil fuels, land clearance and the production and consumption of food, manufactured goods, materials, wood, roads, buildings, transportation and other services.
Circularity
Products and their components can be returned to a biological cycle or kept in a technical cycle.
Palm Oil Free
Palm oil production has been and continues to be a major driver of deforestation of some of the world's most biodiverse forests, destroying the habitat of already endangered species like the Orangutan, Pygmy Elephant and Sumatran Rhino.
Also, it has a high saturated fat content, which can be harmful to cardiovascular health.
Products with this label don’t contain Palm Oil.
BPA-Free
BPA stands for bisphenol A, a chemical that is added to many commercial products. This is found on most household products made of hard plastics, such as water bottles, baby bottles, and food containers. Research has shown that BPA is an endocrine disruptor, which means that it interferes with your body's natural hormones.
This label means an alternative to this type of plastic.
Natural Ingredients
Natural ingredients include plant, mineral and/or microbial ingredients present in (or produced by) nature.
Natural ingredients may also be directly extracted using simple methods (like simple chemical reactions) or they may be the result of naturally occurring biological processes.
