Ecostore

Ecostore is a New Zealand brand founded by Malcolm and Melanie Rands that was started in an eco village in 1993. It was born from a simple goal: to provide people with access to healthy, safe, and environmentally friendly products. For Ecostore, this meant using sustainable ingredients and using recyclable materials. It also meant developing products that were safe and non toxic for both people and the planet.

Since then, it has grown to be one of Australia’s most popular range of natural cleaning products. They continue to make it easier for people to choose highly effective products while being mindful of the environment.

Multi Awarded: Ecostore Cleaning Products

The Sustainable Business Network awarded the New Zealand brand the Most Sustainable Business award for two years (2009-2010). In 2014, their sugar plastic bottles won the NZ Sustainable Business Network Award. Sugar plastics are made from renewable sugarcane, which makes them more environmentally friendly. They're also 100% recyclable.

Ecostore's home care range was also awarded 'Best Vegan Home Care' by Nourish Magazine in 2020.

What Makes Ecostore Products Sustainable and Eco Friendly?

Ecostore: A Highly Certified Eco Friendly Brand

Ecostore has been manufacturing and packing products at their Auckland based Toitū net carbonzero certified factory. This allows them to do their part in fighting climate change. They're the only manufacturer in Australasia with ISO 9001 Quality Management, ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management, Toitū enviromark diamond, and Toitū net carbonzero certifications.

Ecostore is also BCorp certified, which means they're good for the environment and society.

PETA endorses the New Zealand brand as cruelty free. This means they don't test their products on animals and don't use animal derived ingredients in their products.

Ecostore is verified with an Environmental Choice tick for their laundry and dish products. They've chosen to use ingredients and packaging for their eco friendly cleaning products that are better for the planet.

Sustainable Ecostore Ingredients and Materials

Ecostore is a company that prides itself on using gentle plant and mineral based ingredients. Their non toxic cleaning products are greywater and septic tank safe, so they're eco friendly.

Sustainable Palm Oil

One of the ingredients in Ecostore's products is sustainable palm oil, which they source from New Britain Palm Oil Limited (NBPOL) in Papua New Guinea. In Australasia, NBPOL is among the largest certified sustainable palm oil producers.

NBPOL maintains a sustainable palm oil production process that meets the environmental and social criteria set by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). Not for profit organisations like RSPO help ensure that companies follow specific measures that will help limit the negative impact of palm oil farming to the environment and in palm growing areas.

Renewable, Recyclable & Refillable

Ecostore's packaging is designed to be reused or recycled, which helps reduce our impact on the environment.

To help remove unnecessary waste, Ecostore has partnered with Forward Plastics NZ to create renewable, recyclable, and refillable packaging for their products. Forward Plastics NZ is well established in New Zealand's sustainable packaging industry. They help ensure that as little waste as possible goes into the landfill.

Sugar Plastic: 100% Recyclable

Across its product range, Ecostore's bottles contain a blend of sugarcane derived 'sugar plastic' (sustainably sourced in Brazil) and recycled plastic in place of petrochemicals.

Using non renewable petrochemicals to make plastics releases carbon into the atmosphere. But with the use of sugarcane, it removes CO2 in the air as it grows, resulting in less pollution.

Sugar plastic materials also help reduce the need to create new plastics.
