Sport fountain pen
Fountain pens are a low-waste solution for all your writing needs! These dreamy and playful fountain pens from Kaweco make every task a treat instead of a chore. Their compact size makes it easy to toss one in your purse or pocket, while bright sorbet colors and a sleek form make them a welcome addition to your bedside table or desk. Slide the cap on to the end of the pen for a comfortable writing length.
Each pen is equipped with a medium-size, steel nib and is embossed with a silver 'Kaweco Sport' logo on the side.* One blue ink cartridge is included inside the pen. We sell refill ink cartridges in blue and black. Durably crafted in Germany.
*The 'White' color pen is accented with a gold-plated nib and a gold-colored logo.
Each pen comes with one blue ink cartridge. To unseal the cartridge, untwist the tip of the pen off, and press the cartridge in to puncture it, allowing the ink to flow. Store firmly capped and tip down. Replace the cartridge when it runs out. Write often to reduce drying; If this happens, lightly wet the tip by dipping it in water or on a wet paper towel. You shouldn’t experience a leak, but if it happens, contact us to get in touch with the company.
SWEET BANANA is a sunny yet understated yellow, and is fairly translucent.
SOFT MANDARIN is a warm peach color, and is fairly translucent.
BLUSH PITAYA is a rosy pink, and is slightly translucent.
LIGHT BLUEBERRY is sky blue, and is slightly translucent.
COCONUT is an opaque bright white.
This refillable pen is made of metal and a durable plastic, and can be used again and again.
The ink cartridge included comes in a small plastic casing to prevent leakage, and is disposed when empty. One cartridge lasts about as long as a typical pen but generates much less plastic waste than disposable pen alternatives. We also offer reusable cartridge converters and glass ink bottles to reduce waste even further.
None.
Made in Germany by Kaweco, and sourced from a US distributor. Kaweco is a Germany-based company and one of the oldest and best pen manufacturers in the world. The SPORT series was invented in 1911 and was initially marketed for its slim and convenient profile to ladies, gentlemen in evening dress, and sportsmen— from whom the pen got its name.
Made to last a lifetime. Use this pen again and again with our fountain pen refill cartridges.
love these pens - cute and practical! i appreciate that they do not bleed easily when writing, like other fountain pens I've used. i am using disposable pens a lot less with these as a swap, both at home and at work. i would definitely recommend them!
This sport fountain pen is my new favorite (small) way to save the planet. It's awful to think of all the non-refillable ball point pens I have thrown away. But this Kaweco sport fountain pen, used with the mini sport converter and a bottle of ink, should last forever! On top of that, it's an elegant writing instrument that makes every writing experience special, no matter how mundane. The "sport" style makes it easy to carry the pen with me, and it even gets compliments for how cool it looks and writes.
Updating from my original review. I was sent the pen without a cartridge in it. Customer Service responded almost immediately and sent me a box of replacement cartridges. I was very impressed with the service. Now that I have ink in the pen, I can say that this is a great pen. It writes much more smoothly than other fountain pens that I have used. I'm happy to not have to keep cycling through plastic pens whenever they run out. When I run out of cartridges I will probably buy the converter and ink bottle to reduce waste even more.
The pen did not come with an ink cartridge as advertised. I happen to have a pack of international standard cartridges but they do not fit. Will update review once I can actually use the pen.
Coconut bowls
These lightweight bowls are made from discarded coconut shells that would have otherwise been a waste product of the coconut industry in Vietnam. They are food-safe and oiled with coconut oil to give them a subtle shine. Give these coconut shells a new life by using them for smoothie bowls, grain bowls, and so much more! You can even carry one with you to avoid waste on the go.
Each coconut bowl comes from a real coconut and varies slightly in size. The bowls typically measure approximately 5" in diameter and 3" high.
Dark brown coconut shells, sanded and polished with coconut oil. They are completely food-safe and biodegradable.

The workers are provided fair wages and safe conditions. The manufacturer we work with places respect of employees and fair wages as the highest priority to ensure quality work and quality products.
These bowls are fully compostable at the end of their life.
Palate Polish nail color
They say many hands make light work... but it only takes yours to lighten the mood!
In shades ranging from sweet to sassy, these polishes are easy to apply and last for days (though we've always believed a little chip is a sign of a life well-lived!)
For a lasting manicure, apply with a
base and
top coat. When you're ready to shake things up, try a
soy nail polish remover for a nontoxic, natural, and odorless alternative to acetone.
Palate Polish is 10-Free and excludes the toxic chemicals commonly found in nail polish. Made in small batches in Portland, OR. Each bottle is vegan, cruelty-free, and safe for use on pets and children.
For a lasting at home manicure:
1. Massage soy cuticle oil into the base and surrounding edges of your nails as needed to rehydrate and soften cuticles while healing cracked or brittle nails.
2. Wash and dry hands to ensure nail bed is clean and dry before applying nail polish.
3. Apply buttermilk base coat to your nails for a perfect smooth, semi-matte base, and let dry.
4. Carefully paint 2 coats of your favorite color of polish with the included applicator brush, allowing nails to dry after each coat.
5. Top with either a matte or glossy top coat, depending on the look you're going for. This will give a smooth finish and lengthen the life of your at home manicure!
6. When it's time to switch colors or go au naturale, saturate a reusable cotton round* with our nontoxic, odorless soy nail polish remover, press onto the nail for 10-20 seconds, and gently rub until polish has been completely removed.
*We do recommend designating a few cotton rounds for nails only, since the polish can stain.

I will admit to having been a bit of a nail polish hoarder during my adolescent years, and have bought probably 100 nail polishes of different brands. My dad picked this color up for me while shopping here, and I didn't expect much - my default is to thing more natural products won't perform as well, however beneficial they are for the environment. Well I was dead wrong - this nail polish is buttery and beautiful, and is opaque with just one coat. The amount of compliments on the color on this polish far exceeded the name brand ones I usually bought. I cannot stress enough how worthwhile this investment is - please support this business!!!

Inquire Within card deck
53 hand illustrated cards to inspire inner wisdom, growth and connectedness.
Each card is a meaningful phrase, reminder, word or prompt to help bring guidance and comfort to everyday life. Self healing requires a willingness to explore deeply, to ask yourself questions – to inquire within. The purpose of this deck grows from the idea that you yourself can heal you yourself.
A note from the designer on these cards:
"I hope you find joy in this project that was created in a slow & carefully meaningful way, and that the words and images inside serve as gentle reminders of the magic you already have in you.
The contents of the cards were conjured over years of little journal entries of my own. I like to write down little words and reminders for myself, and one day I decided to go through my personal archives and come up with a deck of simple, loving words & illustrations to share with others. Each design is 100% hand drawn in black ink my windowlit studio over the course of 8 months. This is a self-published card deck made in small batches.
+ With your intuition: take a deep breath and pull a card. Trust that you will pull out the one you need to see. What might this message mean to you in this moment? Pause and reflect.
+ Explore: flip through the deck and find a card with a message that speaks to you at the moment. Put it up in your space to remind you.
+ You are unique: use this deck however you like.
There is a 54th card - a black instruction / suggested use card outlining the details written in the above description.
Size: 2.75 x 4.75 x 1 depth" (tarot card size)

I purchased these in order to stop purchasing single-use cotton balls. So far they have been great. I followed the below recommendation of washing them first. I wash in a mesh bag and let air dry.
I use a cotton pad to apply toner to my face every night -- this is a wonderful replacement to the single-use cotton pads I was using! These are soft and gentle on my face (eyes included) and hold their shape well. It's likely best to wash and dry these before first use, but I do not have in-unit laundry so was using them out of their packaging. My toner was running right off the pad at first (aka, it was not absorbing into the pad at all / I couldn't apply the toner to my face), but I now rinse and wring out this pad before applying my toner. I do not expect to need to do this once I washing-machine wash and dry these pads.
Would absolutely recommend!
For the past couple years I had been using a microfiber bamboo towel with eye makeup remover (Neutragena oil-free eye makeup remover) to remove makeup. This method worked for me, but I could tell that it was rough on the delicate skin around my eyes. I decided to switch to these reusable cotton facial rounds because I wanted to take better care of my skin and prevent fine lines/signs of aging. Another con of the towel method was higher product absorbency/loss into the towel.
I purchased the white version and they are exactly as pictured, but what you cannot see is that they are so so so soft! They feel very gentle on my eye area and used in combination with my eye makeup remover all of my makeup comes off perfectly onto the cotton round. I also use less makeup remover which is an added bonus.
I love how soft and beautiful they are. They wash easily, using a mesh bag. Highly recommend for anyone looking to remove single-uses from their life.
I'm really excited to use these reusable face wipes. I love the wooden container for them! I have a small mesh bag that I put the used ones in for laundry. I was disappointed that the clothes were white and not colorful like the picture but it just means I will have to order more!!
Castile soap bar
Hello, clean! A highly concentrated bar of castile soap for all your kitchen and bath needs. Grate into flakes and melt into water at different ratios to make dish soap, all-purpose cleaning spray, laundry detergent, body wash, facial cleanser, or hand soap. Suds away!
To make liquid soap from this bar, you'll grate the soap into flakes using a cheese grater, and melt into boiling water. We recommend 2 oz of soap to every 4 cups of water for a nice liquid castile soap, but you can adjust the ratio to be more or less concentrated. Combine boiling water and grated soap in a slow cooker and cook on low for an hour, and then blend or whisk until smooth. Alternatively, melt the flakes on the stovetop and stir in boiling water, cooking continuously for one hour. Let cool for at least half an hour.
Store the bar in a cool place where it can dry between uses.
Each bar is 1 pound. That's 16 ounces, so it will make approximately 2 gallons of liquid Castile soap. The soap is approximately 3-1/2" square and 2" thick.
Olive Oil (Grade A Extra Virgin), Sustainably Sourced Organic Palm Oil (see below!***), Coconut Oil, Safflower Oil, Glycerin (Kosher, Vegetable Origin), Purified Water, Sodium Hydroxide (saponifying agent), Sorbitol (moisturizer), Sorbitan Oleate (emulsifier), Oat Protein (conditioner).

Unpaper towel holder

When they are dirty, just throw them in the washer and dryer. Plus, no need to frequently run to the store to restock!

Wool dryer balls - set of 3
These natural wool dryer balls replace dryer sheets and reduce drying time by about 30%. By bouncing around in the dryer, they create air pockets that maximize air flow, speeding up the drying process. They also reduce wrinkles and static. Comes in a set of 3.
We recommend using at least 3 dryer balls for a normal load of laundry, but you can always add more to increase the benefits!
You can scent dryer balls with a few drops of essential oils like lavender and eucalyptus for a fresh scent.
Our wool dryer balls are responsibly made from 100% American wool fiber at Echoview Fiber Mill, an environmentally friendly fiber mill in Weaverville, NC. Their mill is Leed Gold Certified 2013, and Living Wage certified.
Put three dryer balls in with each load of clothes in the dryer along with your wet laundry. Using them will reduce drying time, soften, and fluff up your clothes, towels and sheets.
Add a few drops of lavender, pine, or any other favorite essential oil to the wool dryer ball before the laundry cycle for an uplifting natural scent!
Don't wash them with your regular load unless you are cleaning them.
To store them between dryer loads, we suggest using a cloth bag or a simple jar or other container in your laundry room.

They should last for years (a customer mentioned to us that she has had her similar wool dryer balls for 8 years and counting), but at the end of their life, they are compostable.
Love this product! I'll put a few drops of lavender or eucalyptus essential oils in each of these and it provides such a nice smell to our clothes without the added chemicals and dryer sheet waste! Thank you Eco Collective, these are great!
I have a front load dryer and using this helped reduce the static and I haven’t had to run the dryer twice so far for my normal loads. This is really great on for use on towels.

David's Natural Toothpaste
This all-natural toothpaste is designed to whiten, remove plaque, and freshen breath. It's the first natural toothpaste that we've found that has that old-fashioned mint taste. Keep the planet happy and keep your smile minty fresh.
Store at a fairly consistent temperature. Get every last bit of toothpaste out of the tube with the metal turn key inside. Slip it onto the edge of the tube, and slowly roll up the tube to dispense the amount of toothpaste you need.
2.25 oz
Does not contain fluoride, SLS or other sulfates. Vegan, EWG verified and cruelty free.
The toothpaste tube and metal turn key come in a paper box, made with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified paperboard. The toothpaste comes ina
David's Natural Toothpaste is American made and manufactured, with 98% USA-origin ingredients. Carton made with 100% renewable energy (wind power) and FSC certified packaging.
The metal tube is recyclable, plastic cap is not.
In order to recycle the tube, you will need to clean the excess paste from the inside of the tube. Instructions from the brand below:
1. Take some scissors or shears and cut off both ends of the tube.
2. Cut a slit the full length of the tube to fold open the tube to access the inside of the tube for cleaning....the edges of metal are sharp, so please be careful.
3. Wash off the excess paste with running water.... a toothbrush can be helpful here for removing all the paste.
4. Discard metal in recycle bin. It will be up to your local waste management provider to properly sort/recycle as we do not currently take back used tubes for recycling.

This is my second time purchasing this toothpaste, I love it! I had tried Lush tooth tabs, Toms toothpaste, and tooth powder. The lush products and tooth powder made my teeth sensitive. My dental hygienist commented that charcoal tooth powder can change the pH in your mouth and harm your teeth. The Toms toothpaste I wasn’t a fan of the taste, and I couldn’t locate a Toms recycling program near me. The David’s toothpaste is AWESOME. No sensitivity, the consistency is like normal toothpaste, and the peppermint is very pleasant and not an “earthy tasting” peppermint. My only comment is that when you are done with the toothpaste, it’s a little tricky to cut the packaging apart to clean it before recycling. The edges are sharp and the key makes the tube so flat that you can’t easily cut the side to clean the inside out. I’m happy to do it to reduce my waste, but something to be mindful of. So happy to discover this toothpaste!
I love the rolling key to make sure you get as much toothpaste out of the tube as possible. I also love that the metal tube is recyclable, although the plastic cap is not (in my town) due to its small size. The flavor is not a minty as a traditional Crest or Colgate toothpaste, but still refreshing and probably preferable for those of you who are not fans of mint. I am not sure if it is dentist-recommended - I plan to bring it up with my dentist next time I go in and make sure I am making a healthy choice as well as en environmentally conscious one! The price is admittedly pretty high for a tube of toothpaste, although hopefully it will last a long time, especially with the rolling key. I may post an update to this review with information on how long one tube lasts (brushing 2x a day) and what my dentist says about this product. Be well!
Exfoliating soap saver pouch
Collect leftover soap in this handy pouch for easy use, or place your soap in the pouch to lather and exfoliate with your soap.
The lather comes through the mesh material and those last slivers of soap no longer go to waste! You can salvage several leftover soaps to create a new scent or use it with just one piece. It acts as a mini loofah to exfoliate in the shower, and is large enough to hold a standard bar of soap.
Rinse and hang from loop to dry between uses.
Machine wash cold, hang to dry.
4"W x 5.5"H - fits most bar soaps.
Natural sisal fiber.
None.
Designed in Seattle. Made in China by a small company with good workers' conditions. Their ISO certification is ISO 9001:2008, meaning they have appropriate and effective quality management systems in place and are constantly increasing efficiency. RoHS compliant, meaning they don't use specific hazardous materials banned by the EU. They have a third party inspection service, and are compliant with SGS.
Compostable.
It could be a little less long for best functionality. But I do love the ability to throw the ends of my soap in and continue to use them! And the texture is just exfoliating enough - not too abrasive, and not too soft.
I have this one and then 2 other ones I bought elsewhere. This one is the best one yet. It's bigger and higher quality.... Doesn't feel like it's gonna unravel. I definitely recommend
I've really liked this pouch so far. I didn't know what to do with my small soap pieces because they were too small to use but I also didn't want to waste them. This pouch dries hard if you keep the soap in it after each shower/bath, but softens when wet.
Stainless steel safety razor
Over 2 billion disposable plastic razors are thrown out each year in the U.S. alone. A safety razor is a fantastic alternative to disposable razors, and this one can last you a lifetime. This attractive stainless steel razor is appropriate for all your shaving needs, regardless of your gender.
As women, we got sick of paying more for our razors just because they’re pink and come with fancy features (that we were never quite convinced were necessary). We bring you this sleek alternative. It’s unisex, easy to travel with, and reusable for a lifetime. Blades are just $2.25 for a set of 10!

Allow the weight of the razor to guide you; never press down with the razor head or drag it across your skin like you might with a disposable razor. Use a shaving soap for best results. When you follow these tips, you'll have a cleaner, safer shave. To travel, simply remove the blade. Dry off the razor after each use and replace the blade when it becomes dull; Bea Johnson says her sons take the razor head apart to let the blade dry after every shave, and the blades last them for an impressive 6 months!
Stainless steel.
None. Blades come wrapped in paper.
Manufactured in China through an environmentally conscious factory.
The safety razor should last a lifetime if you take care of it properly.
Replacement blades can be sharpened with denim and eventually recycled.
We recommend collecting used blades in a closed metal container for safety since they are sharp and could be hazardous to you or anyone else handling them on their way to be recycled. Blades fit well in our 2 oz screw top tin, or you can use something you have at home.
To recycle the blades, we have a few suggestions...
This razor is the best razor I’ve ever used. It’s my first safety razor (instead of like a disposable razor or electric razor), and I love it soo much. It gives such a clean shave, and I only nicked myself a few times on the legs, tbh not too bad for the first time using it! The only thing I would change is the handle, if it had better grip/wasn’t so smooth I think it could make the razor overall better. I 100% recommended this razor though, and it’s a great small step to take in being more eco-friendly :)
This razor worked very well with the shaving soap from Eco Collective; I haven't tried the razor yet with other shaving soaps/creams. The razor left my skin much more smooth and bump-free compared to disposable razors, which was pleasantly surprising. Not sure yet how many times I can shave with the same razor knife before it starts nicking the skin, but I will learn as I go!
I was so excited to pick up this razor from Eco Collective - it's great that they're still offering pick up during COVID. It was a quick & safe handoff & I took my razor home. I was very nervous my first time shaving & went very slowly but it turned out amazing! Didn't cut myself once & my legs were more smooth than I've ever been able to get them with a Venus razor. Since then I've been slowly getting more confident in my shaving abilities, have cut myself twice but it hasn't deterred me. The key, I think, is showering in hot water to relax your hair follicles, using lots of soap or shaving cream & not adding any weight to the razor. I take the pieces apart to let them dry after every use, and so far, no rust. I'm so happy I was able to buy from a local business and continue eliminating plastic from my life.
I was nervous about trying this, but I made it through my first shave without nicking myself and my legs feel SO SMOOTH! Love!
I had been very nervous to try the safety razor. I finally used all the razors I had on hand and decided it was time. It is a bit of an investment, at first. However, it is a high quality that should last you a life time and the blade replacements are so cheap! Before my first use, I watched a couple of YouTube videos on how to use properly and safely. I have found that short strokes with a delicate pressure works perfectly. I did nick my legs during the first use, but like I said there is a learning curve. My advice would be to use our when you have plenty of time to do it carefully. I take my razor apart are each use and rinse thoroughly and store in a dry place. This has proven to keep the razor and blade in top shape for long lasting use. Highly recommend!
