Our names are Dunja and Serge with our 2 beautiful children Amber and Makani. We moved from Switzerland to New Zealand in 2005 and are officially Kiwis since 2016. We started off in the bustling city of Tauranga, but when things got a bit too hectic for our liking, we headed south to the quieter vibes of Ngatimoti, near Motueka. Now, we live the good life in a rural property with our two kids, surrounded by fruit trees, veggie gardens, and a bunch of chickens. Sure, rural life has its challenges, but we wouldn’t trade the peace and quiet for anything!
Growing up in Switzerland gave us a deep love and understanding for recycling and reusing. Fun fact: back in school, we had these scrap collection events where all school kids would pick up collected materials like metal, newspapers, and cardboard from every household and bring them to large depots for recycling. It was a big deal, and it stuck with us.
When we moved to NZ, we realized that some eco-friendly products were hard to find. That’s when we launched our first businesses, EM-Shop (based on the amazing technology of Effective Microorganisms) and SoapNuts NZ (you know...the laundry detergent that grows on trees). We then saw the need to launch a "Green Warehouse" to complement the "Red" one, and boom—EcoWarehouse was born in June 2015! Our goal was always to make sustainable shopping easy and fun, offering products that are good for you, your family, and the planet.
We’d love to stay connected, so come hang out with us on Facebook and Instagram for updates, new products, and more fun stuff.
