“Sustainability” in an ecological context refers to the sustainable use of the earth’s resources—or, in other words, the use of these natural resources at or below a rate at which nature can replenish them. All of Canopy’s products are selected with sustainable resource use in mind. When choose products and materials that incorporate rapidly renewable or recycled content. We select durable, high-quality products with long life spans that do not tax the earth’s resources by requiring quick replacement. A truly sustainable product is also recyclable at the end of its life; we carry as many recyclable products at Canopy as we can find and bring to you.
