Wal-Mart Celebrates Earth Month With New Products

by Trey Granger

During the month of April, Wal-Mart is highlighting more than 50 eco-friendly products in store and 500 online, including organic milk, mulch, laundry detergent and light bulbs.

New products include:

  • RPET t-shirts made from recycled plastic bottles and organic cotton t-shirts
  • Mulch made from 100 percent recycled tire rubber

Featured products for Earth Month include:

  • 3M Allergen Air Filters to help save energy
  • Clorox Green Works non-toxic cleaning products
  • 2x Ultra Tide Coldwater detergent to save water heating costs

Wal-Mart has started a national advertising campaign to market these products. Stores will feature signs promoting the environmental benefits of sustainable products and small, affordable changes to live greener.
