EcoWarehouse stocks New Zealand's widest range of sustainable home and kitchen products, covering plastic-free food storage, natural cleaning tools, compostable waste solutions, reusable drinkware, fermentation supplies, composting systems, outdoor and camping gear, and more. Everything is chosen to replace conventional single-use or chemical-heavy alternatives with options that work just as well and last longer. Available online at ecowarehouse.nz with nationwide NZ shipping.
The kitchen generates more everyday plastic waste than any other room in the house: cling wrap, zip bags, sponges, dish brushes, cleaning spray bottles, dish soap bottles, and bin liners all accumulate quickly. Most have direct functional replacements that require no change in routine beyond what you buy. The home category extends this to composting, outdoor gear, candles, pets, and more.
A practical starting point is to replace the three or four items you use up fastest: dish brushes, sponges, cling wrap, and bin liners. These generate the most ongoing waste and have the most straightforward eco alternatives.
Kitchen covers food storage and wrapping (beeswax wraps, silicone lids, reusable bags, stainless steel containers), dish brushes and scrubbers (wooden handles, natural fibre bristles, replaceable heads), dish soaps (bar and liquid, plant-based), drinkware (stainless steel bottles, reusable coffee cups), utensils (bamboo and stainless steel), baking supplies (reusable mats, unbleached paper), tea and coffee accessories, and fermentation supplies including the full ZingBokashi NZ range.
Home covers composting and gardening, compostable bin liners, reusable on-the-go gear, natural candles and fragrance, outdoor and camping products, pet care, natural pest control, and sustainable office supplies.
Frequently asked questions
The four highest-impact, lowest-effort kitchen swaps are: beeswax wraps instead of cling wrap, a wooden dish brush with a replaceable head instead of a plastic brush, a dish soap bar instead of a plastic-bottled liquid, and reusable zip bags instead of single-use plastic bags. These four changes eliminate the majority of ongoing plastic waste a kitchen generates.
Yes. EcoWarehouse stocks the full ZingBokashi NZ range including starter kits, replacement buckets, bokashi bran in various sizes, and accessories. Bokashi processes all food waste including meat and dairy in a sealed indoor system, making it practical for households that cannot manage a traditional outdoor compost.
The upfront cost is often slightly higher, but the ongoing cost is typically lower. A wooden dish brush with a replaceable head costs more than a plastic brush but the handle lasts for years — only the bristle head needs replacing. Beeswax wraps cost more per unit than cling wrap but last 12 months or more. Soap nuts cost more per box but provide significantly more washes per gram than conventional detergent.
Stainless steel containers are the most durable and safest long-term food storage option available at EcoWarehouse. For wrapping, beeswax wraps replace cling wrap effectively for most foods. Reusable silicone bags (Stasher) are ideal for snacks and sandwiches. For raw meat or hot food, stainless steel containers are the best choice.
Start with the items you replace most often: cling wrap, zip bags, dish sponges, and cleaning spray bottles. Switch to beeswax wraps, reusable bags, wooden dish brushes, and concentrated natural cleaners in reusable bottles. These five changes alone eliminate most kitchen plastic waste without changing your routine.
Natural beeswax wraps, stainless steel containers, wooden utensils, and plant-based dish soaps are all safe for households with children. Avoid plastic containers with scratched surfaces, which increase chemical leaching risk. Bamboo and stainless steel are the safest materials for children's food contact items.
