Cove

From the creators of Natures Organics, Cove is one of Australia’s favourite eco-friendly cleaning product brands that’s hit the shelves. Here to solve the world’s plastic consumption problem, Cove is designed for the environmentally conscious with its reusable and refillable cleaning products. Perfect for the laundry, bathroom, kitchen and everything in between, Cove allows Australians to use its natural, plant-based concentrate inside of its reusable aluminum bottles. All you need to do is to mix with regular water from your tap and you’re good to go!

Designed to be reused again and again, Cove allows Australians to do more with less. Consciously curated, Cove’s line of products covers everything from surfaces to glass, bathroom sprays, concentrated laundry liquid pumps and more. And, if you run out, at just a click of a button users can replenish their spray or pump bottle with Cove’s refill pouches that are made with 80 per cent less plastic than a standard bottle. From there it can then be recycled through Australia’s REDcycle return-to-store program and then recycled into community-friendly items such as park benches and playground equipment.

Of course, it doesn’t stop there. With sustainability and eco-friendly practices at their forefront, each of Cove’s household cleaning products were curated to contain no harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances, non-toxic and cruelty-free. It’s innovative, it’s sustainable and it’s vegan. Just reuse, refill and spray away.

Zero Co

Who ever knew that an eco-friendly cleaning product could look so chic? Meet Zero Co, an Australian made sustainable cleaning product range that’s taking over our shelves. Beginning like most as an idea, back in 2018, Mike Smith came up with the genius solution to waste. Now, joined by the likes of his wife Alyssa, Kate and Alana, Zero Co aims to untrash the planet by stopping the production of new single-use plastic and to also clean up the plastic junking of our oceans.

Think of Zero Co as a cleaning inception – they clean up the ocean whilst we clean our homes. But what have they actually cleaned? From December 2019 up until now, the Zero Co team has removed almost 6000 kilograms of plastic rubbish from the ocean – a figure equivalent to more than 500,000 water bottles.

So how does Zero Co differ from the rest? Donned as Australia’s eco-friendly cleaning product go-to, apart from clearing oceans and their striking pastel-hued range, Zero Co follows a serious reuse policy. Simply place an order online, receive a package with both a bottle and pouch, empty the contents of the pouches into the dispensers, place the empty pouches into a pre-paid postage satchel and send it back to the Zero team for free. From there they’ll clean, refill and reuse the pouch – it’s that simple!

Of course the fun doesn’t stop there. Not only are they Australian made, but Zero Co uses a plant-based formula, is vegan and cruelty free, grey water safe and they are palm oil free too. With everything from air fresheners to bathroom and shower cleaner, bodywash, dishwashing detergent and tablets, handwash, laundry liquid, stain remover and more. More than a spring cleaner, Zero Co is a lifetime saver for both you and the planet.
