Notable Eco Activity

Ecover marketed a phosphate-free washing powder well before phosphates were branded as a problem and today, produces a line of eco-friendly products for the home, car and boat care, and handwashing products. 

Ecover's website highlights its progressive environmental policy as it is applied to all of its business operations, from selecting raw materials, through production methods, to full decomposition of the end products. It is also an integral part of the company’s business operations. Its website states, "Acting in the spirit of the externally ISO 14001 standard, we have extended our environmental policy to all departments of the company, from production to marketing. One of the most striking results is the world’s first ecological factory." (ISO Management Standards can be found here.)

Ecover has received many awards and recognition for its contributions and achievements in the field of environmentally friendly, sustainable development.
