Ecover is an international company active in the production of ecological detergents and cleansing agents. It was founded in 1980 in Belgium. Ecover has been a trendsetter from the very start: as a pioneering company, it marketed a phosphate-free washing powder even before phosphates were branded as a problem. Ecover has developed into the world’s largest producer of ecological detergents and cleansing products.

Three Simple Steps for the Budding 'Eco - Consumer'
-
Grow something - anything, yourself. This connects you with the soil, the seasons and the miracle of plant growth. Once you grow your own, you’ll never want food grown with chemicals.
- Support your local farmer’s market. Many small organic producers rely on farmers markets for their income.
- See what the label says. Look for Organic, Fairtrade, Biodegradable, Recyclable, Eco-Friendly products.
