Being aware of eco-issues is a hot topic and it seems that everyone is looking at ways that they
can live more harmoniously with nature.
For Living Nature, 'ecology' and 'sustainability'
have been inherent in how we do business since
our company began in 1987. We are proud that
our products not only reduce the chemical load on
your body, but also on the environment. A key
benefit of Living Nature products is that they are
biodegradable – so whatever is washed down the
sink at the end of the day will break down naturally
without negative impact to the environment.
Our ingredients have evolved as part of nature
over millions of years. It's as if we are just
borrowing them for a short period.
Part of Living Nature’s commitment to the
environment includes not using ingredients such as
parabens, phthalates or EDTA’s in their products.
For example, chemicals such as EDTA's, a chelating agent which is commonly found in food, soap and
cosmetic products, are slow to degrade in the environment and are considered to be one of the most
prevalent compounds, produced from human activities, present in many of Europe's surface waters.
As part of their ongoing commitment to the environment Living Nature choose:
To use a carbon neutral electricity supplier
To collect rainwater from the roof of their Kerikeri factory for use in products, cleaning and for general use
To have an on-site effluent treatment for use in on-site irrigation.
Amongst other initiatives, staff collect food scraps for composting or take home to feed to their chickens!
Living Nature encourages it’s customers to ‘go green’. There are many websites which can give tips and advise on how you can live in harmony with the planet such as:
