Since 1962, Walmart has become one of the top choices for consumers worldwide, and is dedicated to delivering quality products at great values.



It has become a vital task to produce green innovations in all areas of manufacturing, retail and technology to ensure a better world for ourselves and our children. Always a pioneer within the mass merchant industry, Walmart has expanded its goals to include a sincere commitment to the environment. Edison Nation has offered to provide Walmart with innovative products and product concepts help sustain our environment for years to come.



Walmart’s Live Product Search seeks sustainable/green and innovative products for their Home Division to add to their store shelves across the country.
