Why choose the “Made in” home products?

Made in home is a relatively new way of producing and consuming goods. Let me explain you why it is a cool way to help our planet.

Less transportation

The textile industry is one of the most polluting ones. Indeed, the final product has to be shipped all across the world to be sold to us. Moreover, countries like China have globally a high energetic intensity, using coal energy for instance. According to Enerdata, it requires 64% more energy to produce in China than in France for example.
Thus, as we all know, if we tend to buy locally, the distance of transportation is considerably reduced as well as our energy cost. Less CO² will be emitted, which means a limited carbon footprint for us! Hence, it is an easy way to care and protect our environment, and everyone can do it.

A good support for your local economy

Buying locally gives a great hand to the economy; jobs are kept, multiplying the number of jobs by three! Then, producers are willing to produce more, generating a powerful financial flow. Plus, workers are treated respectfully with decent working conditions, which is not always the case in some less developed countries like Bangladesh or China. A bonus point for the ethical way of consumption!

A higher quality standard

Indeed, production in North America or Europe is very well-controlled. Industries have to follow strict regulations about the quality of production and fines are applicable; thus you can easily trace up the origin of your product and be assured of the quality; materially or ethically (decent working conditions as said above).
