Sustainability Info is an optional feature bullet on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's active bottoms department. It carries one substantiated sustainability claim about the garment: a named certification, a recycled-content percentage or a vegan claim tied to a specific fiber. Bloomingdale's shows it in the details section of the product page, and it is one of the bullets shoppers scan when they filter for conscious or sustainable styles. Most leggings and shorts have nothing to put here, and a blank field is the correct value in that case.
The rules
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Required | No |
| Maximum length | 254 characters, spaces included |
| Form | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Level | Parent listing, one value for the whole style |
| Department | Women's active bottoms |
The claim has to be specific. A certification needs its name and, when the certificate carries one, its number and the certifying body ("MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX M1KN94G92 Hohenstein", "GOTS certified organic cotton"). Recycled content is stated as a percentage by weight with the fiber it applies to ("Cotton/polyester (30% recycled)"). A vegan claim names the fiber that replaces the animal material. General language such as "eco-friendly", "sustainable", "green" or "planet-conscious" with no attribute behind it is not allowed in the field.
Examples
| Value | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Recycled polyester (78% recycled) | Good | Percentage by weight with the fiber named |
| GOTS certified organic cotton | Good | Named certification |
| bluesign approved nylon/elastane fabric | Good | Certification tied to the fabric |
| Vegan: polyurethane waistband trim | Good | Vegan claim with the fiber named |
| Eco-friendly leggings | Weak | No specific attribute |
| Made with sustainable materials | Weak | General claim |
| Recycled content | Weak | No percentage or fiber |
| Our greenest legging yet. | Weak | Marketing sentence with a period |
Common mistakes
- Filling the field on every style so it does not look empty. A blank bullet is better than an unsupported claim.
- Copying the marketing tagline instead of the certificate or percentage behind it.
- Repeating the fiber breakdown that belongs in Product Material. Only the recycled share belongs here.
- Describing one colorway, for example a single recycled-fiber colorway in a style that also comes in a virgin-fiber color. The bullet is shared by the whole style group.
How Osello fills this field
Osello treats Sustainability Info as an optional parent-level text field capped at 254 characters. When a women's active bottoms listing is filled in, the AI looks for a substantiated claim in the product description first, then in the attributes and metafields, then in the images, and writes one phrase only when it finds a certification, a recycled percentage or a fiber-specific vegan claim. With no such claim in the source, it leaves the field blank rather than paraphrasing a general statement. The value is set once per style and shared by every size and colorway. See how Osello AI fills listing fields, or add custom instructions if your certificates live in a Shopify metafield the AI should read.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sustainability Info required on Bloomingdale's women's active bottoms?
No. It is optional, and Bloomingdale's expects it blank when the garment has no substantiated claim.
Can I write "eco-friendly" or "sustainable" in the field?
No. The claim needs a specific attribute behind it: a named certification, a recycled percentage by weight or a vegan claim with the fiber named.
Do I need the certificate number?
Include it when the certificate carries one, together with the certifying body. A certification name on its own, such as "GOTS certified organic cotton", is still acceptable.
Where do I put the full fiber content?
In Product Material. Sustainability Info only states the recycled share or the certification that applies to the fabric.
