What We Do

Greenopia provides consumers with high quality information to help them reduce their impact on the environment through their daily purchasing decisions. Greenopia publishes extensive green business directories, product directories, and brand directories, as well as offering a growing community, news articles, blogs, and tips to help everyone eat, shop, and live green.

Our Directories

Greenopia's directories guide consumers to the businesses and products to help lead a more sustainable lifestyle. All listings are independently researched, rated, and ranked using unique sets of life cycle based and category-specific criteria, ensuring that each business and product meets precise qualifications. We never accept payment for listings.

Our Ratings

The Greenopia Leaf Award allows consumers to easily assess the overall greenness of a business or product. Four-Leaf Rated listings meet our most stringent criteria while One-Leaf Rated listings meet our minimum qualifying standards. The Greenopia Scorecard allows consumers to easily see the specific areas of greenness in the product’s or brand’s life cycle.

Our Community

Greenopia's community provides a place for people to engage in sharing their favorite listings, meeting other people, sharing their eco-interests, blogging, discussing green topics, and much more. Our newsletters provide an opportunity to stay up to date with compelling articles, press releases, exclusive opportunities, and the newest, hottest, and greenest listings.

Green Building Design





Green Efforts:
Labatt is another large scale brewery commonly found in the US. Labatt also happens to be among the greenest major beer brands. Labatt has average environmental reporting claiming improvements in most environmental indicators, but most language is vague. Labatt uses its waste ethanol for fuel sources and is monitoring its energy use at a detailed level so it can continue to decrease its footprint. Labatt also has some general elements of green building design. Most impressively, however, is that Labatt actively refills its glass bottles (which is more eco-friendly than recycling) and claims it refills bottles on average 15 times before recycling them. Although refillable plastic bottles are still better than glass, this is still one of the most impressive initiatives we came across in the industry and it represents a significant savings.

Green Issues:
Labatt has yet to adopt any organic beers which have environmental benefits in numerous impact categories including euthrophication and water pollution. We would also like to see Labatt utilize more renewable energy.

Greenopia Verdict:
Labatt was one of the few major breweries who qualified for a Greenopia leaf which is deserved because of a solid refilling program for its bottles.
