ECOS Plant Powered Laundry Detergent

Brand Overview

ECOS is an environmentally conscious brand renowned for its plant-powered cleaning products, especially laundry detergents and household cleaners. The company was founded by Van Vlahakis in 1967 under the original name Earth Friendly Products, motivated by the desire to create safer, non-toxic cleaning alternatives.

Manufacturing and Ownership

ECOS products are primarily formulated and manufactured in carbon-neutral, zero-waste-certified facilities located across the United States (including facilities in California, Illinois, Washington, and New Jersey). The brand remains family-owned and operated by Earth Friendly Products, LLC, headquartered in Cypress, California, and is currently led by Kelly Vlahakis-Hanks. ECOS products distributed in the UK, often found in retailers like Costco, are typically imported directly from North America.
