Bold Eco Reusables You'll Love To Use Everyday

In 2014, we said enough. Fed up with single-use paper towels, tissues and bags clogging up landfills, we got to work finding solutions for our family life. Designs had to be clever, durable for heavy re-use and showcase incredible artists work so you would love them enough to bring them into your home and gift them to others.

Here they are. Our alternatives don't just look great, they work even better. We are so proud of our award winning, beautifully designed products for low-waste and low-tox goodness. Welcome in.

Sustainability Without Compromise

Eco products over 10,000 NZ & Aus families love. Durable, well designed and delivered fast.

"Cool design and super functional too - 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." Nicole
