Community Feature: Sustainable Haus
As Earth Day approaches on April 22nd, we’re shining a light on a local business that’s making sustainable living not only accessible but inspiring — Sustainable Haus in Summit, New Jersey.
Living Lighter, Living Better
Founded with a mission to help individuals reduce their environmental footprint, Sustainable Haus Mercantile is a go-to destination for low-waste, plastic-free, and non-toxic home and lifestyle products. From reusable kitchen tools and natural cleaning supplies to compostable personal care essentials, every item in the store is carefully selected with people and the planet in mind.
But Sustainable Haus is more than just a beautifully curated shop—it’s a local hub for education and empowerment. Owner Amy Seid and her team are passionate about helping the community embrace a more conscious way of living. Through in-store demos, sustainability workshops, and ongoing conversations with customers, they’re demystifying zero-waste living and proving that sustainability doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. It can start with just one small change.
Sustainable Haus also partners with local organizations and schools, extending their mission beyond their walls and into the broader community. Their work reflects a deep belief in the power of local action to create global impact—and that’s what makes them such a valuable part of the Summit community.
A Thoughtful Space, Designed Locally
The calm, inviting environment of Sustainable Haus is no accident. The store’s layout and design were thoughtfully created in collaboration with Space & Mark, a Summit-based architecture studio known for their sustainable, people-first approach to design.
The result is a light-filled, functional space that echoes the values of the business itself—intentional, welcoming, and eco-conscious. It’s a beautiful example of what can happen when local businesses come together with shared values to create something meaningful.
