Sustainability Info on Bloomingdale's Marketplace is the feature bullet for a substantiated sustainability claim about a pair of bottoms: a named certification, a recycled percentage, or a specific vegan claim. This page covers the version of the field in the women's bottoms department: jeans, pants, shorts, skirts and leggings. It is optional, it sits on the parent listing so one value covers every colorway and size, and Bloomingdale's shows it as one of the on-site feature bullets. A vague "eco-friendly" is not allowed; a blank field is.
The rules
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Required | No, optional in women's bottoms |
| Length | At most 254 characters, spaces included |
| Form | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Level | Parent listing, shared by every variant in the style group |
| Allowed | A certification with its number, a recycled percentage by weight, or a vegan claim naming the fiber |
| Not allowed | General claims such as "eco-friendly", "sustainable", "green" or "conscious" with no specific attribute behind them |
A claim qualifies when a shopper could check it. That means one of these:
| Claim type | Shape of the value |
|---|---|
| Certification | The scheme plus its certificate number, for example "MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX M1KN94G92 Hohenstein" or "GOTS certified organic cotton" |
| Recycled content | The fiber and the percentage by weight, for example "Cotton/polyester (30% recycled)" |
| Vegan | The claim plus the fiber that replaces the animal material, for example "Vegan leather trim made from polyurethane" |
Everything must come from the source data. If the product description says only that the brand "cares about the planet", leave the field blank. Do not look up a brand's certification and add it yourself; the claim has to be attached to this product.
Examples
| Value | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| GOTS certified organic cotton | Good | Named certification scheme |
| Cotton/polyester (30% recycled) | Good | Fiber and recycled percentage by weight |
| MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX M1KN94G92 Hohenstein | Good | Certification with its number |
| Vegan leather waistband trim made from polyurethane | Good | Vegan claim with the fiber named |
| Eco-friendly fabric | Weak | No specific attribute |
| Made with recycled materials | Weak | No percentage and no fiber |
| Sustainably sourced by a brand that gives back | Weak | Marketing language with nothing to verify |
| 30% recycled polyester in the blue wash | Weak | Describes one colorway |
Common mistakes
- Writing "sustainable" or "eco-conscious" on its own.
- Dropping the certificate number from an OEKO-TEX claim.
- Stating recycled content without the percentage.
- Repeating the full fiber content here; that belongs in the material field.
- Filling it for a style where only some colorways use the recycled fabric.
How Osello fills this field
Osello treats Sustainability Info as an optional text field on the parent listing for products placed in a women's bottoms category on Bloomingdale's. The AI agent reads the product description first, then the attributes, then the images, and writes a value only when the source contains a substantiated claim: a certification with its number, a recycled percentage by weight, or a vegan claim naming the fiber. General claims are skipped and the field is left blank. The phrase stays under 254 characters with no trailing period, and the value is set once per style group and mirrored to every colorway and size. See what gets filled in automatically for how this fits with the rest of a listing.
The bras department has its own copy of the field at Sustainability Info. Everything else is in the Bloomingdale's field directory.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sustainability Info required for women's bottoms on Bloomingdale's?
No. It is optional, and it should stay blank unless the product carries a claim that can be checked.
Can I write "eco-friendly" or "sustainable"?
No. Bloomingdale's does not allow a general claim with no specific attribute behind it. Name the certification, the recycled percentage or the vegan fiber, or leave the field blank.
The brand is certified but the product copy does not mention it. Can I add the certification?
No. The value has to come from this product's source data. Add the certification to the product description first, then fill the field.
Should I include the certificate number?
Yes, when the certification scheme issues one. "MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX M1KN94G92 Hohenstein" is the form Bloomingdale's expects.
