Malcolm and Melanie Rands founded ecostore on New Zealand’s Northland coast in 1993. Part of a group that created an eco-village nestled in a valley dotted with streams and surrounded by native forest, the Rands set out to make their home as clean and green as the land they called home. By creating hardworking, highly effective products for people and their home, removing harmful or unnecessary chemicals, the ecostore ethos has always been to put people’s health first and give them the choice to live clean. From one New Zealand family to another – the Rands passed the baton to the Kraus family in 2013. Now led by Pablo Kraus, our goal is to be the world’s most trusted and sustainable home and body care brand. Today we continue to proudly develop, manufacture and pack our household cleaners, laundry, body care, skincare, baby care and oral care products at our own carboNZero certified factory in Auckland and share them with the world.

We are a very rare company in the New Zealand context, in that we are privately owned and have been operating with some of our local government contracts for over 18 years. We have relationships dating back 20 years to when the company was first formed as Streetsmart Limited. Operating in the North and South Island and with a large workforce, modern systems and scalable operations, we believe that we are the ideal fit between a small local contractor and large international companies. Who are we? We are the third largest Waste and Recycling Company in New Zealand We employ staff directly within the communities in which we work. We have been servicing Councils around New Zealand for 20-years. We use local service providers to support our operations as part of our philosophy of working with the local community.
