What You Need to Know About Your Cleaning Products: Harmful Chemicals, Plastic Packaging & the Solution!
In this episode of The Live Lightly Podcast, I sit down with Matt and Kay, the founders of Green Llama, to explore how they’re revolutionizing the cleaning industry with eco-friendly, plastic-free refill products.
Driven by their personal commitment to reducing plastic waste and creating non-toxic cleaning solutions, they built Green Llama with sustainability, health, and effectiveness at its core. From developing their own formulas to overcoming production challenges, they share their journey in making zero-waste cleaning accessible for everyone.
One of the most exciting aspects of Green Llama’s innovation is their unique refillable system. They’ve partnered with a company that recycles decommissioned wind turbine blades to create durable, sustainable trigger sprays for their glass bottles. Plus, their refill tablets and laundry detergent packaging are made from certified compostable materials, proving that effective cleaning can be achieved without harming the planet.
We also discuss the challenges of sustainable business, from sourcing the right materials to educating consumers about eco-friendly alternatives. Their mission is about progress over perfection, and they continue to improve their products to make sustainability easier for everyone.
The name Green Llama was inspired by llamas, which are known for their minimal environmental impact—just like their brand’s mission to tread lightly on the earth.
