Waste clogs the retail industry. From fast fashion TikTok trends to useless purchases of items we never use, it’s no secret that the joys of shopping also come with wasted money, resources and energy.
Does that mean that consumers hit pause on the holiday shopping season each year?
No. Does that mean that we should ignore Black Friday deals and discounts? Of course not!
If you’re an eco-conscious buyer, we’ve got you covered. Relax, breathe, check out our sustainable black friday deals and say goodbye to fast fashion!
Ethical shopping for sustainable Black Friday campaigns
Ethical shopping is a thing, and it starts with drifting away from go-to brands for an easy buy. Research is required to dig through the sludge of house-name brands in order to find ones that sell products that are sustainably and ethically made. But let’s face it: the holiday season is busy enough without burdening ourselves with homework before we shop.
The Impakter marketplace vets brands so you don’t have to. And just in time for Black Friday, the start of the holiday shopping season, we’ve got you covered!
Here’s our super-curated Black Friday sustainable brands selection for all the conscious buyer personas out there, to achieve mindful shopping and environmental appreciation!
The Fashionista
This is the easiest person to shop for during the holidays. They live and breathe fashion, so they’ll appreciate 90s-style ankle boots by Noah Italian Vegan Shoes or traditionally-crafted Kenyan brass jewelry by Artisan and Fox.
Say goodbye to fast fashion practices that don’t value worker welfare, toxin-free materials and renewable energy during manufacturing.
From sustainable evening dresses to unisex casual wear, our fashion brands are vetted and transparent to cater to any unique style, giving the fashionista in your life the gift of ethical clothing.

The Foodie
During the holidays, the way to someone’s heart is straight through their stomach. Not only does Impakter’s sustainable marketplace feature vegan options like smoothie powders and veggie soups and pestos, but each brand is sustainably sourced from natural resources. They are also labeled with certifications by Peta and EU Organic Farming for the highest quality of nutrients that are cleanly made and clean to eat.

The Beauty Queen
The skincare industry raked in an estimated $145 billion in 2022. It’s a sector of the market that shoppers flock to all year long, even when there aren’t Black Friday sales dangling in your face. But with brands that you stumble upon on just any store shelf, you run the risk of polluting your skin with irritants, animal-tested products, and packaging manufactured in sweatshop conditions.
The Impakter marketplace values your skin as much as you do. From air-sealed jars of cream that reduce packaging waste to cruelty-free lotions exclusively extracted from plant materials, our brands meet the full circle of sustainable beautycare.
