The Hunter & Folk Eco Cleaning Guide
Breaking up with toxic cleaning brands has never been easier—thanks to the new wave of sustainable, natural (and beautifully designed!) household cleaning products on the market.
Koala Eco products are vegan, all natural, environmentally friendly, with no synthetic fragrance, effective, anti-fungal, disinfectant, including no dyes, masking agents, SLS or phosphates.
Made with Australian essential oils, Koala Eco products are packaged in recycled bottles, so that you can reuse, refill and recycle after use.
Koala Eco’s mission is to create safe, powerful, plant-based products using natural ingredients, while also aiding our wellbeing by connecting us to nature.
Brought together by a love of nature and a shared passion for the environment, co-founders of Koala Eco, husband and wife duo Jessica Bragdon and Paul Davidson launched the brand in 2017.
Since the beginning, Jessica and Paul have been on a mission to bring natural products into the mainstream market. The pair believe that although many people would like to make more sustainable, natural product choices, there’s a nagging belief that eco options compromise on efficacy and require too much effort to source and purchase. They have proven the opposite.
Koala Eco proudly take a sustainable approach to everything they do—including using recycled, recyclable and refillable bottles, so that no new plastic bottles are created. All the products in the Koala Eco range aim to bring more nature into people’s daily lives, both through their natural and sustainable product range, and by the brand’s support of community-based initiatives such as 1% for the Planet, People and Parks #NaturePact, and the Critters Program.
Through an initiative The Dirt Company calls, Refill, Return program, they take back their refill packs, sanitise them, and refill them to be sent back to customers.
The Dirt Company’s range includes revolutionary, refillable laundry essentials that eliminate single-use plastic.
The Dirt Company was founded on the belief that they could create and make sustainable household products something people could fall in love with.
The brand’s home cleaning products are made using ingredients that are a healthy choice for your clothes, your home, and also the planet. All the products within the range contain nothing unnecessary, like excess water or bubbling agents that are designed to make you feel like you’re getting more value, when in reality, the opposite is true.
The product range’s packaging is minimised both with recyclable materials and a clean design aesthetic, fitting into your space rather than dominating it.
‘Our entire future depends on our ability to keep our foundational ecosystems happy and healthy. Our company is determined to bring you the products you want, while doing less harm along the way,’ says The Dirt Company.
