Great product

We wanted to reduce our use of plastic, these compostable bin liners were a positive step. They are easy to use, stand up to general use without leaking or cutting.

3 Pack of Reusable Bamboo Kitchen Towels
Clarissa Buehler
Absolutely amazing

These bamboo kitchen towels are absolutely amazing. I was a bit doubtful at first whether they would work (and would actually be reusable), but they are just perfect. They soak up any spillage really well, and easily wipe any kitchen surface dry. They are basically like a cloth, but lighter and easier to handle. I use them for most of my cleaning now.
To wash them, I just put them in the washing machine alongside my normal laundry. I bought a pack several months ago, and they are still going strong, with no sign of needing any replacement. This has saved me so much money, as I haven't had to buy any normal kitchen towels any more (which afterwards just go to waste).

The cling wrap is incredible, saves me a mental breakdown each time!!

Each segment is what seems to be made like sheets so there’s no way of loosing where you are as it tears in a straight line. Saves me the time of fiddling around trying to find the edge. Which normally means I’m having to get a knife out and fight myself back into the cling wrap.

Trying out a few products to see if the simple swaps are worth while. Making sure the quality is there which oh my goodness is! I couldn’t think of now buying bin liners, foil and cling wrap.

I’m excited to try the other products they have in the online store as the quality, the ethos and being eco friendly is a massive hit for our household.

These bin bags are insane.

When I first saw Eco Green living products, I thought amazing there’s some products out there that are eco friendly for some of the worst products you can have that will affect the eco system. But I was worried about the quality of the product because of it being eco friendly .. but was I wrong! Yes I was.

You know the standard bin bags you have that are thin, flimsy and break as soon as you put anything in them. Lifting them out and there’s holes in which tend to spill bin juices everywhere before taking them outside.

Well these are just incredible!

They have some sort of stretch to the product. Perfect for holding all the items you tend to put in the bin together.

I would love to see the product in different colours in the future but for now, I’m so happy with my bright green eco friendly waste bags.

I also must add that these waste bags are higher quality

A must buy!
