What are positive-impact products?

They're products from retailers or entrepreneurs that are reusable, compostable, recycled, and/or made with organic ingredients.

These products contribute to caring for the planet; above all, they promote waste reduction, low-emission mobility, biome preservation, and responsible production.

How to sell food on Mercado Libre

Mercado Libre is a well-known marketplace where you can buy and sell just about anything. What's new is that a few months ago it added a section focused on caring for the planet, offering recycled and healthier products for everyday life.

Among the products sold on Mercado Libre, there's a category for social and environmental impact businesses. There you can sell reusable products, items made from recycled materials, organic products, and so on. The section offers everything from food to clothing and everyday products that meet those criteria.

While it's a great initiative for entrepreneurs and retailers, to take part and sell you must meet the company's selection criteria. You also need to already be registered on Mercado Libre and have active listings.

Among other drawbacks, beyond the selection process, sales commissions tend to be high. Competition is also tougher because you share space with other stores selling the same things you do.

So, where is it best to sell healthy products?
