KOALA ECO

KOALA ECO

With the recent fires, it’s hard not to be thinking about the impact we all have on the planet. Read below to see how we work towards making products that enrich people's lives and are good for the Earth.

PLANT-DERIVED AND BIODEGRADABLE INGREDIENTS

We create people and pet-friendly cleaning products from plant-derived and biodegradable ingredients. The powerful cleaning, deodorising and disinfecting properties in our products are natural, and sourced right here in Australia. We use high concentrations of essential oils from Australian native plants.

DO NO HARM

Our company mantra is ‘do no harm’, which means we do not add anything to our products that could have a negative effect on people, animals or the planet: no dyes, masking agents, synthetic perfumes, chlorine, bleach, sodium laurel sulphates and phosphates. We believe our connection to nature is a wonderful and precious thing, informing how we think and live, and also how we care for each other and the planet. We are proud that Koala Eco has never, and will never, test its products on animals.

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

Our efforts to run an environmentally friendly company extend to using recycled packaging and bottles made of recycled PET. We also ship all of our products in reused and recycled boxes.

ONE PERCENT FOR THE PLANET

For each product bought, Koala Eco donates a dollar to the charity One Percent for the Planet.
