Q&A with Ecococonut!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n
Plastic free household cleaning tools? We’ve met the perfect brand, EcoCoconut, who are on a mission to revolutionise “Plastic-Free”. They have created kitchen and household cleaning brushes made from waste coconut husks that are 100% biodegradable and eco-friendly. Crystal, founder and marketing director, has given us some insider knowledge into the brand and we’re super excited to be sharing it with you. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/h1>\n

COCONUTS INTO KITCHEN TOOLS? WE LOVE THIS IDEA AND ARE SO INTRIGUED TO FIND OUT HOW IT CAME ABOUT.<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\n
\n

Thank you and we\u2019re excited about revolutionising every day house hold products and offering plastic free alternatives. Many years\u00a0ago, my friend and I started a business called “Live Whole Yoga” which\u00a0used Coconut fibre in Yoga Mats made from Natural Tree Rubber.\u00a0 “Live Whole Yoga” Mats led us to opportunities, people, and a pipeline of “plastic free” every day Coconut products that is now EcoCoconut. EcoCoconut was founded in 2016 with three other people who are all from Australia.<\/p>\n

WHAT PROCESSES DO THE COCONUTS UNDERGO DURING MANUFACTURING?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Manufacturing processes are of the highest standards. Coconut is a renewable raw material that absorbs Carbon dioxide when growing. We use coconut fibres and husks that are left over from coconut food products, water, and oil production which would otherwise be wasted. EcoCoconut ensures that the whole coconut is being used\u00a0so nothing is wasted.<\/p>\n

\"\"FROM WHERE DO YOU SOURCE YOUR LOVELY COCONUTS?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

All Coconuts are ethically sourced in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

HOW LONG DO THE KITCHEN PRODUCTS LAST COMPARED TO REGULAR ONES?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

I use mine everyday and they last over 3 months or more. We recommend rinsing them under warm soapy water after use to keep them hygienically clean. As they last a long time and are extremely durable this makes them very affordable. When throwing away EcoCoconut you can throw it into your garden compost and not stress if it does land up in landfill – it won\u2019t be around in 500 years time unlike plastic.<\/p>\n

AS YOU GUYS ARE THE EXPERTS, PLEASE CAN YOU EXPAND ON WHY WE SHOULDN\u2019T BE USING REGULAR KITCHEN CLEANING TOOLS?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Most common kitchen tools only last a couple of weeks before they\u2019re thrown away. They hold harmful substances that go down the sink and have a negative impact on the eco-systems (tiny particles of micro plastics get into the water systems). Disposing of single use plastics (like common kitchen tools)\u00a0are\u00a0killing our wild life and oceans. We all have a responsibility to look deeply at what we can replace that is \u201cFAST PLASTIC\u201d in our homes in order to stop the devastating effects that single use plastics have on this planet.<\/p>\n

WHEN DID YOU START-UP AND WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELVES IN 10 YEARS?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We officially launched in Australia in 2016\/17 and expanded quickly into the UK\/EU as people were wanting our products. We see EcoCoconut being available to every single household globally.<\/p>\n

I\u2019M SURE LOTS OF US ARE KEEN TO TRY OUT YOUR PRODUCTS, WHERE CAN WE GET THEM FROM?<\/strong><\/h1>\n
