Reducing our environmental impact every day

Since 1981, Earth Choice has been at the forefront of pioneering safe and sustainable approaches to keep your home and our planet clean. Dedicated to environmental responsibility, we adopt a holistic approach to product development, ensuring minimal impact on the planet from creation to disposal.

By utilising renewable sources for our products and guaranteeing they can be safely used and disposed of without harming humans, animals, or the environment, we are committed to a cleaner planet.

Plant & mineral derived ingredients

By sourcing as many ingredients as we can from renewable and sustainable sources, we’re able to continue to improve our formulations and replace synthetically-obtained ingredients as we discover the availability of new plant-based alternatives.

Recycled & recyclable packaging

Currently, we use a yearly average of 1483 tonnes of recycled PET plastic and 127 tonnes of recycled HDPE plastic. All of our bottles are recyclable after use, which creates an ‘endless bottle’ possibility.

We also use 100% recycled materials for our cartons and 95% recycled materials to produce the cardboard packaging for our dishwasher tablets and laundry powder.

Renewable energy

We have invested in a roof-mounted solar system to source sustainable energy and reduce our impact on the environment. These panels will reduce our carbon emissions by around 1,500 tonnes each year.

Biodegradable formula

Our formulations are made with readily biodegradable surfactants, compliant with Australian Standard AS4351, to ensure they do not pollute our waterways or harm marine life when washed down the drain.

Grey water & septic safe

To support water conservation efforts, our products have been developed with low sodium and undetectable phosphates to ensure they are safe for greywater & septic systems.

Vegan & cruelty free

We never test on animals or use animal derived ingredients and we are adamant that our suppliers need to abide by our strict standards.

We are conscious that the environmental impact of our products doesn't start and end with harsh chemicals and plastic waste. Ensuring that no animal is harmed in the making of our products is one of our highest priorities.

Australian owned & made

Our products are made in Ferntree Gully, Australia, where we provide employment opportunities to over 170 locals. By formulating, filling and producing our packaging locally, we not only support the community but also minimise transport emissions.

Sustainability FAQs

What does plant-derived mean?

Plant- derived ingredients simply means we do our absolute best to source our ingredients from plant-based raw materials, rather than petrochemicals. This reduces our reliance on fossil fuels and allows for more sustainable practices.

How do you ensure you are cruelty free?

We love and respect our furry friends and never test on animals or use animal derived ingredients - not now, not ever. All of our products are vegan-friendly and our partners and suppliers must also comply with our strict standards.

What are your bottles made from?

Over 80% of our products are made from 100% post consumer plastic. With the remaining 20% of our range using between 30%-50% of recycled plastic. We hope to move to 100% post consumer recycled materials in the very near future.
