BC’s Best – February 18
This edition features three companies who are delivering real solutions to help their customers reduce their environmental impact. The efforts of a lot of companies who position themselves as environmentally conscious often amount to little more than greenwashing. The three companies we feature here, on the other hand, work with products which make a real difference. They achieve this by offering environmentally friendly alternatives to existing solutions which users can seamlessly integrate into their everyday lives. This seems to be a great blueprint for other startups who are working on similar ideas to follow.
