ECOVER
Mike Golding's partnership with ECOVER began in 2001. The synergy between the world’s foremost ecological cleaning products manufacturer and the Mike Golding team was clear.
Ecover is the world's leading manufacturer of ecological cleaning and washing products. Founded in Belgium in 1980, Ecover has always been at the forefront of its industry - it marketed a phosphate-free washing powder even before phosphates were branded as a problem.
Headquartered in Malle, close to Antwerp in Belgium, Ecover has sites in the USA, UK, and Switzerland. In 2007 it opened a new ecological factory in Northern France. With its grass roof that supports wild flowers and provides an effective temperature regulator and noise dampening insulator, the Ecover factory is one of the very first ecological production plants in France.
Ecover is respected throughout the world for its policy and its ethical approach to the complex issue of environmental protection. From the very start Ecover has set itself very precise specifications with regard to the production of its products: to only use renewable raw materials, that are less toxic for the aquatic environment, which offer total biodegradability beyond their first use, and which are kind to the skin.
Ecover's products are marketed in more than 20 countries around the world.
