While not a cleaning product, a good example of a sustainable product is bamboo. Bamboo is used in flooring, building materials, and furniture, among other products. It is very easy to grow, is grown worldwide, and is fast growing, making it very sustainable. As a bonus, it is resistant to many pests and diseases, so pesticides are often not needed.
