People are becoming more eco-conscious when it comes to using environmentally-friendly cleaning products for their homes. Unilever’s own report this year stated that ecological and sustainable items are growing at a faster rate than other products. With this in mind Tesco are looking to ecpand their ecological product base with a specific range named Eco Active.
In the last year there has been a sharp rise in demand for eco-cleaning products with Tesco also seeing a near 45 per cent rise in sales. However a 2017 report by retail analysts Mintel states that premium price for these green products has been a major setback in attracting further customers.
With such a strong surge in demand Tesco will today give customers even more choice by launching an own label range, Eco Active. And the good news for shoppers is that the new seven product range will also help them save on existing branded eco-products by at least 50 per cent.
Tesco household goods product developer Sanjeev Kaushal who developed the range said: “Demand for eco-cleaning products in the UK is at an all-time high with shoppers more aware of how they can protect the planet through informed choices that start in their homes.
“Customers tells us that they want to buy eco-cleaning products but they must be effective, affordable, easily available and independently certified to not harm the environment.
“They also want complete transparency on how they are produced, the ingredients they contain and the impact they have on the environment. We believe our new range of products answers all that criteria.”
All the products are recyclable with the bottles containing up to 45 per cent recycled plastic.
The range, which is made from plant-based, non-toxic, bio-degradable ingredients, includes washing up liquid, two fabric conditioners, two laundry detergents, toilet cleaner and a multi-surface cleaner.
All the products have been independently tested and certified by the EU Ecolabel, established in 1992 by the European Commission, to identify products and services which reduce environmental impact.
Using greener cleaning products which are made from plant-based ingredients and not the commonly used petroleum can make a considerable difference to both the environment and to our energy resources.
The Tesco Eco Active range will be on sale in more than 500 Tesco stores across the UK and will cost between £1 and £4.
