Summertime and the living is easy; fun in the sun, reveling in the shade, diving into a cool blue lake - or a good book. No matter where you live, or where you go, nature is bound to play a role in making summer sweeter. At Ecologie, we’re rethinking our summertime activities. We invite you to join us on a journey to protect the summers we all love. With so many easy eco-friendly swaps (see our list below!), your next picnic, backyard BBQ, or road trip can inspire the ripples that become a wave of change.
Join us in the Plastic Free July Challenge - a global movement to refuse the use of single-use plastics and part of the Plastic-Free Foundation’s mission to protect the beauty of our communities, from sea to sea -and everywhere in between.
This July, Ecologie will donate $1 from select Swedish sponge cloths and all beeswax wraps sold this month to an ocean cleanup organization; The Ocean Cleanup or Plastic Oceans.

We’ll keep you posted on the progress of our challenge - and you get to vote on which organization receives our donation!

]]>Meet this fall’s cleaning glam squad! We added a few new Swedish sponge cloth designs because, well, we can't stop creating.
We have new patterns, new sayings, new Swedish sponge cloths featuring fruits and veggies plus fun shapes.
Made from cotton and plant based cellulose fibers, we use water-based ink to print our designs making our Swedish sponge cloths truly compostable.
You can use your Swedish sponge cloth to clean with water, soap, or your favorite household cleaners. (Psst. If you’re looking to break free from chemicals, look no further! Our sponge cloths are so effective that many customers choose to use water or natural-based soap for a more environmentally friendly cleaning routine.)
No matter how you use them, our Swedish sponge cloths do the job for over 9 months.
Dusty bookshelf? No problemHere is a quick reminder:
1. First, dampen the cloth in water to soften the material.
With so many of us looking for ways to make our homes and routines more eco-conscious, the search for sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics is gaining momentum. Beeswax wraps offer a convenient, reusable way to freshen up your fridge and give leftovers a lift.
Our Beeswax Wraps offer a stylish, sustainable alternative to single use-plastic wrap. Made of cotton hand-coated with beeswax, coconut oil and tree resin, these wraps can be used to cover up a casserole, create a lid for cans, jars, or bowls or to wrap up some homemade cookies for a little lunchbox love. Washable and durable, each beeswax wrap can be used over and over again for 1 year or more. Wash, wrap, repeat.
In sets of 3 different sizes to suit a variety of storage needs, these wraps are sure to become your go-to for in the fridge or on the go. From fruits to florals, dots and stripes to prisma patterns, the vibrant and colorful designs look fresh while keeping food fresh. Ecologie Beeswax wraps have got you covered!
