This is an act of everyday rebellion. This is how we fight back. Not in some grand act or noble last stand. But in the smallest of everyday actions.
In some common household chore. Made uncommonly good by the power of our new formulas. Salvation comes in the strangest of places. Like a basketload of dirty socks and crumpled tees.
And all you have to do is choose. Choose to wear your goddamn clothes for longer. Making them last as long as they can. And looking fine as hell doing it.
Can waste be seen as a solution rather than a problem? We think so. That’s why we’ve created ‘TOO GOOD TO WASTE’ our new limited edition washing up liquid made using 25% waste ingredients left over from the beer brewing process (ethanol + water). Bottled in 100% post-consumer recycled plastic in our TRUE Zero Waste Certified factory. Waste is an issue that’s bigger than just plastic, and we hope you’ll agree that while only a small step, it’s a positive start. #LETSLIVECLEAN #progressnotperfection
50% rubbish, to be clear. That’s because we’re trialling some new Washing Up Liquid bottle caps that are half made from post consumer recycled polypropylene plastic (with the other half made from virgin polypropylene). It’s all part of changing the way we think about plastic waste – a subject that’s very dear to our hearts.
When we say we live and breathe clean, we mean it. From the way we do business to how we source our ingredients to our war on plastic waste – it’s all about finding new ways to put our clean values into practice. Even if it’s going to take a while to get there. Check out what we’re doing below.
Clean plastic
We’re waging war on single-use plastic. And we’re aiming to make all our bottles from recycled plastic by 2020.
Clean water
Our original phosphate-free formula did not add phosphates to the world’s waterways. Now we’re on the case to use less water, full stop.
Clean sourcing
We’re making our supply chain more responsible. Like buying local when we can, and using suppliers who share our values.
Clean ingredients
You get out what you put in. Which is why most of our ingredients are made of biodegradable plant-derived substances.
Clean fragrances
We use fragrances that are designed to smell fresh and wonderful – not overpower you with toxic chemicals.
Clean design
We believe that packaging design can have a positive impact on people and the planet.
Clean manufacturing
First we built one of the world’s most ecologically sound factories. Next stop: a zero-waste, zero-carbon footprint.
It’s what we make that makes us who we are. From launching our original phosphate-free washing powder in 1979 to our fab ranges of plant-based home cleaning products today, we’re always on a mission to prove that you can save the planet and still deliver a damn good clean.
Dishwashing
Our dishwashing range cuts through grease and grime, with fragrances that won’t overpower you.
Laundry
Our plant-based Laundry Liquids leave clothes spotless, with no chemical nasties left behind in the water.
Household
Our range of household cleaners keeps every inch of your home and your conscience sparkling.
Zero
Ecover ZERO is our range of completely fragrance-free products, approved by Allergy UK.
Personal Care
Dermatologically tested for sensitive skin, our Personal Care range will give your hands the TLC they deserve.
We’re turning the tide on ocean plastic.
It’s a fight we’re proud to lead, but the war is not won.
By 2050 there may be more plastic in our oceans than fish* by weight
