Discover sustainable cleaning solutions from local artisans on our marketplace, offering eco-friendly products to enhance your cleaning routine while protecting the environment.

Introduction

In today’s world, the demand for sustainable cleaning solutions is higher than ever. Eco-conscious consumers are seeking ways to maintain cleanliness without compromising the health of the planet. While established brands like Ecos have paved the way with their plant-powered cleaning products, there’s a growing need for platforms that connect these green products directly with local artisans and producers. This is where the Big Innovation Centre steps in, offering a unique marketplace dedicated to sustainable and locally-sourced cleaning solutions.

Competitor Overview: Ecos

Ecos has been a prominent player in the sustainable cleaning industry since 1967. Their mission centers around protecting the health and wellness of people, pets, and the planet by offering authentic, sustainable, and affordable cleaning products. Ecos provides a wide range of products, including laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, household cleaners, and hand soaps. Notable highlights of Ecos include:

Plant-Powered Ingredients: Utilizing renewable sources like coconuts for safer and effective cleaning.
Certifications: Over 120 of their products are U.S. EPA Safer Choice-certified.
Sustainability Commitment: Carbon neutral since 2013, water neutral since 2016, and TRUE Platinum Zero Waste certified.
Affordability: Maintaining accessibility through family-owned values, ensuring safer cleaning products are available to everyone.

While Ecos offers a strong foundation in sustainable cleaning, their focus remains primarily on product distribution without a dedicated platform for local artisans and producers.
