Houston, we have a problem: single-use plastic is <KILLING> our planet and taking over our oceans, and climate change is a problem that needs addressing urgently. We know that. But the eco overwhelm is real - we’re good humans, we’re trying to do the right thing to make positive changes in our lives, but where do we even START? We’re trying to nail the morning routine, hit our exercise goals, drink enough water, eat right, meditate, breathe more, keep up with the news, separate our recyclables, parent positively, contribute to our community, hold down our jobs, pay the mortgage, keep the house clean, find time to hang out with our people, fit in adequate self-care and down time… Is it even possible to make a difference to the planet when we’re so busy with everything else?

Well actually, it is. You can start by saying hi to us (hi!), and take a look at our fabulous range of household products that make it easy to be eco. We’ve done all the research and testing for you, so that’s one thing off your list. And you can order on subscription - so that’s literally another thing off your list, as your everyday essentials will just turn up on your doorstep, without you having to lug them home. And that means no running out. So you’ll just be going about your business, going to the loo, cleaning your house, etc, while casually saving the planet. So. Many. Wins.

WE USE PLANET- AND HUMAN-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS

Plastic was meant to last forever, and when it’s reused and used correctly, it’s very useful, and not as much of a baddy as the media has made it out to be. But most of it is only used once. It’s this single-use plastic we’re having such problems with. Much of it enters our oceans, and aside from the devastation this causes to marine life and seabirds, about 90% of the water we drink and the food we eat now contains micro plastics. The toxic effects are on all of us. This is why our products step firmly away from single-use plastic, instead utilising sustainably sourced alternatives. 

Our bamboo farms are fully FSC-accredited, as we want to know our materials come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits to the surrounding community and the people involved in growing and harvesting it. And that gorgeous paper our bamboo toilet paper and kitchen rolls are wrapped in? Fully recyclable, baby. Just like the biodegradable cardboard boxes our products come contained in.

THERE ARE NO HARMFUL CHEMICALS ON OUR WATCH

Nope, nope and nope. We quite like our skin, thanks very much, so we prefer the products we use to be kind to it - and for the smaller members of our family to be safe from harm too. Which is why all our eco-friendly products come free from phthalates, phosphates and harmful dyes, and they’re all animal-friendly.

GENTLE INGREDIENTS WITH POWERFUL RESULTS 

Green cleaning products have a bit of a rep for being style over substance - aka, they make you look good by doing your best for the planet… but they don’t actually tackle the grass stains on the kids’ trackie bottoms the same way as the hard stuff does. Well, not to boast (lol, totally boasting), but our eco-friendly swaps actually work just as effectively as the non-eco household names out there. And, just saying, but our bamboo toilet paper and kitchen roll is soft and strong (no wiping with scratchy stuff here), and lasts for ages. So you can rest assured our range does the job.

EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY

Ah, the weekly shop. Yet another task on the endless to-do list. Not if you sign up for a Something Co subscription! Get all your everyday eco essentials delivered directly to your door at a timeframe that works for you - and one you can change or cancel at any point. Less shopping trips, no running out, bye bye hassle. Plus you won’t have to stand in the aisle annoying everyone while you’re reading the label to see what nasties are contained, as we’ve done all the research legwork for you (and we don’t do nasties). So, more time, less shopping, reduced chance of being stuck on the loo swearing at whoever didn’t change the roll…

• We applaud and inspire good choices. We don’t guilt people into submission
• We're energetic but not manic
• We're fun but not the wild child at the party
• We’re serious about the process and impact but not ourselves
• We’re good stewards of our planets, we are not social justice warriors
• We educate we dont hot take
• We help make people’s lives easier, we don’t ask them for more effort

We carefully source materials for our products. We never knowingly add nasties - the long, hard to pronounce names. Instead we select source materials that are sustainably farmed and rely on certification such as the FSC so we know our materials come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.
