My likely hood to recommend a product solely based on it's Material's Eco-Friendliness is very small but not 0, give it a 1.

There are so many other factors to consider when purchasing a product, and let's be honest, the group you're asking right now are all driving vehicles that are not particularly Eco-Friendly already from a materials stand point.

I'll give the nod to something that is made from sustainable materials, and has a recycling/end of life plan to go with that over something that doesn't, But everything else about the purchase better be close to equal, IE; if the quality is the same and price is close to equivalent or just a bit more, I'll choose the eco-friendly option.

Depends on the product. The eco friendliness and recyclability of everyday disposable items like milk and such is important to me, but for something like running boards I don't care.

1. I wouldn’t. Ford Bronco and Maverick interiors are a perfect example as to why I wouldn’t. Scratch just looking at it. Eco friendly in my opinion leads to being replaced more often there by using more materials, manufacturing and distribution.

In automotive aftermarket? 0.

As someone else said, daily packaging like milk cartons and single use plastic, 8.

Would depend

The term "eco-friendly" is a lot like "charity org"
More than 90% are phony scams

For example "global cooling" became "global warming" and now "climate change"

These mats appear to be pet-friendly. My pup seems OK with them.

Not sure what's up with all these similar threads, but I'd pay more to know the product I bought is not off-gassing stuff in an enclosed vehicle that is not so good for humans. I've bought "smelly plastic" products in the past and returned them, and that's just what can be smelled, who knows what other stuff we can't smell or are touching.

These mats are fine for the offgassing smell.
Very little, if any at all.
Agreed on the repeats.
Forum list is peppered with them this morning.
