1.5 million cotton swabs are produced every day, and the majority are made from inorganic cotton. Unfortunately, inorganic cotton requires incredible amounts of pesticides to produce: directly deteriorating our fertile soils, aquatic systems, and atmosphere. It's also one of the most water-intensive crops in the world.
That's where EcoLiving comes in.
EcoLiving's organic cotton buds are made entirely from recycled FSC paper, and Fairtrade + GOTS certified cotton. They're grown without the use of any synthetic pesticides, and they use a lot less water in it's production.
EcoLiving is also a partner of the Eden Reforestation Project, and donates a portion of all sales to reforestation projects.

FSC paper and organic cotton
Jo started Ecoliving in 2014 after refusing to accept that waste is an inevitable consequence of how we consume products.
With a firm belief that there is almost always an eco-friendly option that is comparable in price, better in quality and that doesn’t come at the expense of the planet, she started her own zero waste store.
Now, EcoLiving manufactures their products in a carbon-neutral warehouse, plants trees with every order, and is a member of 1% For The Planet. Which means they donate a portion of all profits to environmental initiatives and reducing extreme poverty.
Most cotton swabs are made out of inorganic cotton because it is so much cheaper for businesses to purchase.
The thing is, growing inorganic cotton requires incredible amounts of pesticides, and it deteriorates our precious soils, water, and atmosphere. It is also extremely water intensive. All together, some say it is the most pesticide and water intensive crop on Earth.
Great alternative and actually work better than the main stream brand.
Nothing to complain about! They work as expected and I highly appreciate the fact that they’re soooo cheap! Especially considering it’s a 100 pack!!
