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. 🏡 Find healthy home professionals near you: https://holistichomesdirectory.com/ 👉 Take the next step toward building a healthy home: https://form.typeform.com/to/cRQhjt5i ✨ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holistichomes.bychristine
