Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Ecover do a tremendous amount of really good work. Taking eco products mainstream can't be easy. Please don't boycott their products - just make sure you buy the right washing up liquid. Sainsbury's stock the green topped vegan one. If it was any other company I would be furious.But we can all make mistakes and I feel that overall they do far more good than bad. And the new bottles look good in the kitchen! Such trivial surface points are important - I loathe the brown dusty image with crap design and get real pleasure from a nicely designed object. I have emailed ecover about the misleading statemnt on the front and await their reply - warning them that I look forward to posting it on here. Hell hath no fury like an angry vegan. I couldn't find an email address on their web site, something wrong with page but sent it to info. It hasn't bounced back so I assume they got it. You could email them as well. I've checked all the other products in my cupboard and they seem ok. I think the ecover potato starch rubbish bags are brilliant. They go straight on the compost heap and really simplify keeping the kichen waste for compost. Be good if their " plastic " was more widely adopted - just imagine the difference it could make to landfill sites. EXCEPT I'm not an expert and would like to know what an eco expert thinks of them. Are they harmless? I've got rid of box so can't give ingredients. Can't spot anything about them on the ecover website. Rosanne - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.

I'm very distrustful of ethical companies acting unethically, whereas I at least expect that from others so don't see it as being a problem with them. Still they aren't acting unethically, it's just that their ethics are not vegan but environmental, and the two are not always the same. >But we >can all make mistakes... It isn't a mistake though, it is an intentional environmental strategy on their part because that's what their ethical motivation is. >And the new bottles look good >in the kitchen! Whatever happened to Down To Earth? They had well designed botttles too. They were also owned by a major company which made me glad to buy that brand because it sent a message to them that customers do want, and will buy, ethical products over unethical ones. >Such trivial surface points are >important - I loathe the brown dusty image with crap >design and get real pleasure from a nicely designed >object. You won't like Bio-D products then, but they are genuinely vegan ethical, don't spend extra on wasteful packaging, and above all they do the job they are meant for.
