Our eco-mate range is part of our mission to give you one less plastic bottle to worry about. We all know how difficult it is to avoid using single use plastics - they are everywhere and sometimes it feels like an impossibility to stop using them completely. When designing the eco-mate range of products, our primary goal was to create a bottle that was 0% plastic and ocean safe. There are so many products out there claiming to be eco-friendly, but still come in plastic bottles or packaging. After years of development, we are proud to be able to offer a truly plastic free option to the market.

In addition to the biodegradable packaging, the contents are also biodegradable so eco-mate brings you the best of both worlds - eco-friendly packaging and contents derived from natural and environmentally friendly ingredients. As a small British start-up based in rural Rutland, we aim to have a real positive impact on the planet with an exciting range of new products in our development pipeline…. watch this space!

What we mean by ‘ocean safe’ is that our products are fully biodegradable so that if the bottle should find its way into the ocean, it will start to break down in a matter of weeks and will fully biodegrade within a few months. This is much, much faster than many of the product packaging on the marketplace that claims to be biodegradable. Often only part of the packaging is biodegradable and even then, can take several years to break down and still leave behind micro-plastics. No thanks!

Our eco-mate paper bottles are made of 100% biodegradable products and will have safely broken down within months of being thrown away. Plus, because our bottle is only made from paper and plant-based materials, there is no harm to the fish or mammals that live in our oceans. The paper and coating are both very fragile when submerged in water for any period of time and quickly break apart.
