Hello!

Ecocentra is an online marketing place for buying and selling eco-friendly and ethical products.

We believe that environmentally friendly and ethical shopping is an ideal way for ordinary people to make a positive difference to the world in which we live.

The site works by defining products’ eco-friendly status. In this way buyers and sellers can find each other – easily. The categories under which products trade are listed below, along with the reason why we believe it is important.

Organic / Natural

Organic and natural methods build soil fertility without artificial fertilisers or the damaging effects of pesticides.

Fair-trade

Fair-trade products ensure that producers in developing nations are given a fair price for the products that they produce and that such products adhere to minimum social and environmental practices.

Recycled

By buying recycled, you can reduce landfill, chemical use, raw materials and energy.

Charity / Campaign / Educational

Many products can be bought in support of good causes. In this way your product can provide help in related issues.

Energy Conscious

Many products use up more resources than they need to. For example, compact fluorescent bulbs are better than filament bulbs. Energy conscious products minimise the amount of energy and resources in their production or use.

The goal of the ecocentra is to develop and maintain a green market. While content is moderated by ecocentra the site is also maintained by collaboration of users to improve the workings, provide advice as well as report bad use of the site.
