Eco Mate
Brand Story
The eco-mate range is part of a 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, their primary goal was to create a bottle that was 0% plastic and ocean safe to ensure that when you choose eco-mate there’s one less plastic bottle to worry about. They realised that in addition to the biodegradable packaging they found we were able to also make the contents biodegradable and so eco-mate brings you the best of both worlds eco-friendly packaging and contents derived from natural and environmentally friendly ingredients. As a British start-up based in rural Rutland they aim to have a real positive impact on the planet with an exciting range of new products in our development pipeline….
OCEAN SAFE
What we mean by ‘ocean safe’ is that it is fully biodegradable so that if the bottle should find its way into the ocean, then it will start to break down in a matter of only weeks and it 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 as they can often take several years to break down and still leave behind micro-plastics, often only part of the packaging is biodegradable.
The eco-mate paper bottles are made of 100% biodegradable products and will have safely broken down within months of being thrown away. Plus, because the 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 and quickly break apart.
