Greenwashing with Construction and Materials | Ep. 45
Not everything labeled “natural,” “non-toxic,” “recycled,” or “plant-based” is actually a healthier choice for your home.
In this episode, I break down how greenwashing shows up in construction and building materials, and what I look at before deciding whether a product is actually a healthy choice.
I cover:
• Why recycled materials aren’t always healthier
• What to look for in insulation products
• The truth behind “plant-based” spray foam
• How I balance toxicity, durability, and maintenance
• Questions you should ask before choosing materials for your home
When I’m evaluating materials for a healthy home, I always want to look past the marketing and understand what’s actually in the product, how it performs, and how it could impact the people living in the home.
