Ecojiko are a small family business based in the Lancashire Hills on a mission to inspire people to reduce waste and single-use plastics by creating a range of gorgeous, reusable everyday essentials with a playful twist. 

The ekojiko founder of ekojiko, Katy's, journey started almost twenty years ago in East Africa where she lived and worked for many years. On returning to the UK she became frustrated with the amount of waste and single-use plastics on sale and in the bin! After living for years in a country where people reuse, refurbish and repurpose the contrast in the UK was astounding.

Roll on a few years and she set up ecojiko. To keep the inspiration from her time spent with the incredible waste-free mamas she named the business after the Swahili word 'jiko' meaning kitchen.
