The following list includes the top six interpretations of environmentally sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>locally produced products: 51 percent&nbsp;<\/li><li>products labeled as sustainably produced: 47 percent&nbsp;<\/li><li>products labeled as non-GMO\/not bio-engineered: 47 percent &nbsp;<\/li><li>products labeled as organic: 44 percent<\/li><li>products that have recyclable packaging: 41 percent<\/li><li>products that have minimal packaging: 35 percent<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With 63 percent of the survey participants also agreeing that it is hard to know if a product is environmentally sustainable, the confusion about the definition of environmentally sustainable makes sense. But a definition does exist. According to the U.N.\u2019s Brundtland Commission on sustainable development, \u201csustainable development [meets] the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/healthyvendingny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/AdobeStock_257297733-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Healthy Snacks in New York City\" class=\"wp-image-762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthyvendingny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/AdobeStock_257297733-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/healthyvendingny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/AdobeStock_257297733-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/healthyvendingny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/AdobeStock_257297733-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine if a <a href=\"http:\/\/healthyvendingny.com\/snacks.html\">snack<\/a> or beverage is sustainable look for the following certifications: USDA Organic, Animal Welfare Approved, Certified Humane Raised and Handled, Fair Trade USA Certified and Rainforest Alliance Certified.
