Our end of life product strategy helps consumers compost the tableware along with the food at home. Making clean up easy and also reducing the amount of waste created. Based on our sales figures from 2021, we can estimate 650,000 pieces of plastic dinnerware bound for landfill or recycling has been replaced with our sustainable alternatives that biodegrade and compost. By selling more than half a million eco-friendly dinnerware packs we have assisted in the removal of 15.6 tons of plastic from council bins and facilities! This aids in lowering the stress put on council institutional practices to sort and divert the rubbish to its required location, due to the behaviour change of people composting the products at home by themselves. Helping individuals and our business make an impact on the SDG goals including Responsible Consumption and Production (12), Climate Action (13), Life Below Water (14) & Life on Land (15) by lowering the amount of disposable plastic dinnerware ending up in landfills or worse, as litter on our streets, parks, or waterways for many years.

EcoSouLife is committed to addressing key environmental challenges through a variety of impactful actions. We focus on reducing emissions and waste by offering biodegradable and compostable alternatives to traditional plastic products, ensuring that our packaging is eco-friendly and contributes to a circular economy. Our products are designed with end-of-life strategies in mind, promoting composting and reducing landfill waste.

To combat biodiversity loss, we prioritise sustainable sourcing and work to ensure that our raw materials do not harm ecosystems. Our water and energy use is optimised through efficient production processes, and we actively seek renewable energy solutions to reduce our carbon footprint.

In addition, we are continuously improving our chemical use by eliminating harmful substances in our products and processes, ensuring that they are safe for both people and the environment. Through these efforts, EcoSouLife is working toward a greener, more sustainable future.

EcoSouLife products are made from environmentally friendly materials that prioritise sustainability at every stage of their lifecycle. We use biodegradable and compostable materials, such as organic fibres, which are sourced responsibly to reduce environmental impact. Our products are designed to be fully compostable, ensuring that they break down naturally without leaving harmful residues.

Additionally, we incorporate recycled materials wherever possible, helping to reduce the need for virgin resources and minimise waste. For example, some of our products are made from post-consumer recycled plastics, which helps divert waste from landfills and supports a circular economy. We also prioritise eco-conscious production processes, using low-impact materials that require less energy and water to produce. By focusing on natural, renewable, and recycled materials, EcoSouLife ensures that each product contributes to a healthier planet.

To achieve our goal of providing sustainable tableware alternatives at affordable prices we have had to explore multiple different providers and suppliers worldwide. We always ensure that the factories meet international labour standards and ensure they provide the necessary documentation to support their claims. We found that visiting the factories and workspaces allowed us to see the whole production process and the raw materials being used.

EcoSouLife partners with ethical factories that adhere to international labor standards, ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, and respect for workers' rights. We are committed to maintaining high ethical standards throughout our supply chain, and we work closely with our manufacturing partners to ensure compliance with social and environmental regulations.

To make our supply chain more sustainable, we implement a rigorous supplier selection process that prioritises factories with strong environmental practices, including energy efficiency, waste reduction, and sustainable sourcing of materials. We also encourage transparency by regularly auditing and monitoring the factories to ensure they uphold our sustainability and ethical standards.

In addition, through our partnered factories, EcoSouLife contributes to empowering rural communities by providing access to resources and creating sustainable livelihoods. By fostering a holistic approach to social and environmental responsibility, we ensure that our supply chain positively impacts both people and the planet.
