FAQs

What kind of packaging will my products be shipped in?

We work extremely hard to ensure that all our packaging is plastic free. We are absolutely committed to reducing plastic and micro plastic waste, and reflect this in all our packaging.

How does the Eden Reforestation and tree planting scheme work?

For every marked item on site sold, ecoLiving will donate 1 tree to the Eden Reforestation Scheme. Eligible items include our cotton buds, toothbrushes, straws, floss, and toothpaste tablets. Every donation not only provides a tree for planting but also supports employment in the areas in which the Eden Reforestation Projects work. This is because Eden employs locals to plant the trees, thus supporting the local economy as well as the reforestation effort.

What areas do the Eden Reforestation Projects cover?

The Eden Reforestation Projects currently operates in Nepal, Madagascar, Haiti, Indonesia, and Mozambique.

What is 1% for the Planet?

1% for the Planet is an organisation who work with many businesses, with the idea being that companies donate 1% of annual sales through a membership scheme.
