Clean Change

The all-natural Eco Cloth was invented by a clever Swede who couldn't abide the smell of musty dishcloths. Seventy-odd years later, it has become the fastest-selling product of a Tauranga-based cleaning products company on the strength of its compostability. "We took a product that has been around years and highlighted how it's a great sustainable alternative." says Kristy Hunter, who founded Good Change in 2019 with friend Stine Smith to give consumers an option other than the microplastic-infused dish cloths. Last year they followed up with a line of eco wipes made from bamboo. An alternative to throwaway towelettes and paper towels, the wipe can be washed and reused as many times as 75 times. www.goodchangestore.com
