Growth
In 2005, Alter Eco expanded into the United States and Australian markets. In 2006, the organization approached Brazilian retailers to sell Brazilian products in the country under Fair Trade terms, creating the first South-South Fair Trade experiment.
In the US market, Alter Eco has quickly expanded its availability to consumers, and can be found in every major area across the country.
In Europe, all Alter Eco products are FLO-CERT certified and bear the International Fairtrade Certification Mark. In the United States, products bear the "Fair Trade Certified" mark of TransFair USA.

Famous quotes containing the word growth:
“Humour is the describing the ludicrous as it is in itself; wit is the exposing it, by comparing or contrasting it with something else. Humour is, as it were, the growth of nature and accident; wit is the product of art and fancy.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“The reality is that zero defects in products plus zero pollution plus zero risk on the job is equivalent to maximum growth of government plus zero economic growth plus runaway inflation.”
—Dixie Lee Ray (b. 1924)
“The Past—the dark unfathom’d retrospect!
The teeming gulf—the sleepers and the shadows!
The past! the infinite greatness of the past!
For what is the present after all but a growth out of the past?”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
