ecover & sodasan

Ecover is an international company active in the production of ecological detergents and cleansing agents. It was founded in 1980 in Belgium. Ecover has been a trendsetter from the very start: as a pioneering company, it marketed a phosphate-free washing powder even before phosphates were branded as a problem.

Since 1993, under the sole ownership of Jørgen Philip-Sørensen CBE, Ecover has grown into a European market leader in the niche of ecological washing and cleaning products. Besides its headquarters in Malle, close to Antwerp in Belgium, Ecover has sites in the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and its products are marketed in more than 26 countries. In May 2007, Ecover opened its second ecological factory in Boulogne sur Mer, Northern France.


Environmental Policy

Our concept is based on:

Outstanding cleaning effectiveness
For over 25 years Ecover has pioneered effective ecological products in its own R&D lab. The products that we have developed are equal to conventional brands in terms of cleaning performance and user friendliness.

Sustainable quality
Ecover takes ecological, economic and social aspects into account from the origins of the raw materials, to the biodegradation of the final products. Strict criteria are employed as guidelines for all business operations, from selecting raw materials, through production methods to full decomposition of the end products.
