What makes Koh eco friendly?Updated 3 months ago
At Koh, our commitment to sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From the very beginning, we design our cleaning solutions to meet rigorous environmental and health standards, ensuring they’re safe for both your home and the planet.
Independent Eco-Certifications & Awards
Our dedication to eco-friendliness and performance has been recognized through multiple certifications and awards:
🏆 Canstar Blue Multipurpose Cleaner of the Year (2022 & 2023): Koh is the first brand ever to win back-to-back! Voted by the Aussie public, this award means Koh is Australia’s favourite Multipurpose Cleaner.
🌿 GECA Certified: GECA’s ecolabel ensures our products meet strict environmental, health, and ethical standards, providing an independent tick of approval that they’re better for people and the planet.
🦋 Sensitive Choice Approved: Products carrying the Sensitive Choice blue butterfly have been reviewed by an independent expert panel to ensure they’re a safer choice for people with asthma and allergies.
🇦🇺 Australian Made & Owned: Koh’s cleaning products are made right here in Australia, ensuring premium quality, strict safety standards, and responsible manufacturing.
🌏 Allergy UK Approved: This certification means our products have been independently tested and approved to support people living with allergies.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
We take a circular approach to cleaning, ensuring our products minimize waste and maximize longevity:
Reduce: Koh challenges industry norms by offering versatile, multi-purpose cleaning solutions, so you can clean more with less.
Reuse: Our professional-grade tools are designed for long-term use, reducing the need for single-use plastics and low-quality alternatives that end up in landfill.
Recycle: Our packaging is kerbside recyclable, including our Roll’n’Recycle refill pouches, which have won awards for making recycling easy and accessible for everyone.
Plastic Rescue & Reforestation
We go beyond just cleaning, every order placed helps make a real environmental impact:
🌊 Plastic Rescue: For every order, we rescue the equivalent of 3 x 500ml plastic bottles from entering the ocean through our partnership with Greenspark and Plastic Bank. This initiative also supports coastal communities in Haiti, Brazil, the Philippines, and Indonesia, providing fair wages for plastic collection.
🌱 Reforestation: Between 2020 and 2024, we partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects to plant one tree for every order, helping combat deforestation in Nepal, Africa, and Indonesia while creating jobs for local communities.
Safe for You & The Planet
Traditional cleaning products are packed with harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances, we do things differently. Our cleaning solutions are:
✅ Fume-free, fragrance-free, and free from chemical nasties
✅ Safer for families, pets, and people with asthma or allergies
✅ Certified by Sensitive Choice™ and Allergy UK
✅ Designed to reduce toxic chemicals entering our waterways
Spare Parts & A Repair-First Mentality
Instead of replacing an entire product when something small goes wrong, we offer spare parts for many of our tools and accessories. Whether you’ve misplaced a part or just need a refresh, we’re constantly expanding our range so you can repair and reuse. Because while the Koh-mmunity is making a big impact, a more sustainable future starts with small, smart choices.
