The Home Depot has established a rigorous set of criteria to evaluate products before branding them "Eco Options". All Eco Options products offer at least one of the following:
• Energy efficiency
• Water efficiency
• Improved air quality
• Reduced toxicity
• Waste reduction
• Resource acquisition (e.g. products made from recycled materials)
Suppliers must provide supporting documentation to verify that each product meets the detailed Eco Options technical criteria. Eco Options products must have less of an impact on the environment than conventional products and/or provide a positive environmental change through their use. The Home Depot is working closely with vendors and independent experts to bring new and innovative environmentally friendly products to our customers.
