The 8 best sustainable tech deals still available for Prime Day
Help save the planet this Prime Day with these sustainable tech deals
The environment - and our impact on it - is a hugely important consideration these days, so I've tracked down some of the best sustainable tech deals on sale for Amazon Prime Day.
When these big sales events come around, I often feel worried that they produce a lot of waste - and even pollution. Think about all the cardboard packaging it takes and all those delivery vehicles whizzing around in the days after.
This climate anxiety definitely dampens my excitement - and I'm not alone. According to research by NielsenIQ, 46% of consumers in 2023 are "looking to brands to take the lead on creating sustainable change."
So, I've been on the hunt for Prime Day tech deals that won't harm the planet, either because they are made from recycled material or because the company uses sustainable production methods and carbon offsetting.
While Amazon doesn't have the greenest reputation, it has a 'Climate Pledge Friendly' initiative which highlights products that "meet sustainability standards and help preserve the natural world."
You can check out Amazon's best-selling Climate Pledge Friendly products, and below, I've picked some of the best sustainable tech deals for Amazon Prime Day that are available to shop today.
