WE FIXED THAT
In 2014, surrounded by beige eco swaps, strong opinions about design and zero patience for waste, we decided we'd just make our own.
Beautiful, award-winning alternatives to everyday disposables. Designed to work hard, look good and become the kind of products you proudly leave on the bench and happily give as gifts.

Why choose between a greeting card and a gift when you can...
The easiest eco swap you will ever make. Get microplastics off your plates, cups and benches. This upgrade is made in Sweden.
Made from odds & ends leftover from manufacturing. I fell in love with the colours then the absorbency.
A statement accessory. 99 uses for a HANK and only one is your nose. Super soft cotton, and not embarrasing to pull out of your pocket.
We needed a family bag to last more than one season, carry all the shopping or books or beach and sports gear. These are the GOAT.
This clever solution is a greeting card that turns into the gift. Forget single-use cards that end up in the bin!
These cloths are a joy to use and admire - love the patterns and the usefulness
Fantastic dish cloths , they look lovely as many patterns to choose from and are extremely practical. They wash up really well so environmentally friendly. I will be ordering more!
I bought these initially because I loved the design and thought they’d look great in my kitchen. They do - but even better they work really well too. I use one for a couple of days then chuck it in the dishwasher and switch to a new one. They dry quickly and so far my first lot have lasted nine months and are still going. I like the idea of using them as weed mat in the garden when I’m done with them and letting them break down to compost too.
Lovely teatowels - I bought one at a market, and then bought two more a month or so later. They are well-made, soft and ACTUALLY DRY your dishes, as well as being pretty. I also like that they have a loop at one end for hanging them onto a hook.
Outstanding quality - these cloths last for years and may be composted once they wear out. I appreciate the speedy delivery too!
Exceptional quality rarely found these days in kitchen cloths. Makes a classy, as well as environmentally-mindful gift.. I paired this towel set with complimentary Swedish dishcloths and Emma's thoughtful gift-wrapping and was a real hit!
Great experience shopping with the Green Collective. I had not been organised enough to get my shopping done for Christmas but Emma was amazing and had everything packed and shipped for next day delivery! The towel is a little smaller than my other bath towels but very absorbent and the wedge pouch made a great gift for an avid swimmer. Spruce cloths were a fun addition to prezzies
This was a fantastic opportunity to purchase a range of goodies from green collective. I bought a range of spruce cloths, a towel and a "wedge" pouch. These were all dispatched extremely quickly (esp. for the time of year!) and are all great products.
So many designs to pick from. The issues was, which ones to keep and which ones to gift.
Love supporting an amazing NZ based business with an awesome mission
I have so many of these and love the joy of getting the next favourite design out of the kitchen drawer. Gifted a couple to a coworker as a small Christmas gift and was so cool to be able to choose designs to match her interests/personality.
Love our big bag and the wedge! Bought to carry around all my babies stuff, & the wedge has been perfect for keys, phone etc. thank you!
I was at an Expo in Christchurch recently and I saw this amazing soap dish in a real cool funky colour - yellow. Well I had to get it. It is made from recycled plastic and what I like about it is that it allows the soap to sit in a separate draining dish, so the soap isn’t swimming in water, but better still is that the draining dish pulls out and on it’s flip side is a grater so any soap remnants can be grated into warm water which makes laundry detergent - fantastic !!
Went to the Green Expo recently & purchased these awesome green cloths. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well they performed, so well we went back the next day and purchased more. They wash up well in the dishwasher & after a soak hard stains seem to vanish. We have a stainless steel bench and it’s a breeze wiping it down (leaves no smears & drys quickly) - how exciting to find such a versatile dishcloth that isn’t too expensive considering what you pay for chuck away cloths/sponges at the supermarkets. Lovely ladies who were selling these Green Cloths & for a good affordable price. Beautiful designs and are the perfect size for my hands. I have kept two stored away for backups. They do good cleanups on most surfaces. Love Love Love my new dishcloths. Thanks Emma and team for a good product.
Love the back story to these towels (about using surplus yarn) and the bold colour palette that results. I’m usually a more minimal and neutral girl but I saw these colours and patterns and thought why not?! They make me feel happy and they’re a bit of fun.
