From this month, ecojiko’s Cheeky Pot Scrubber and 'Dunker' Tea Strainer will be available in 140 Oxfam stores as part of the renowned Sourced by Oxfam range. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in ecojiko’s mission to provide sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics.

The Sourced by Oxfam range is dedicated to ethically sourced, sustainable products that promote a low-waste, environmentally friendly lifestyle. The collection includes reusable everyday items, eco-friendly gifts, and alternatives to single-use plastics. The funds raised through Oxfam's sales contribute to life-saving and life-improving initiatives for the world's poorest communities, including access to clean water and sanitation, fair wages, emergency supplies during natural disasters, sustainable food production, and impactful advocacy campaigns.

Ecojiko’s products will also feature in the newly opened Manchester Superstore, where customers can explore a curated selection of ethically sourced new items alongside Oxfam's popular second-hand fashion range.

Katy Davies, Founder of ecojiko, expressed her excitement about this milestone: "We are delighted to announce that Oxfam is our first major UK national retailer to stock our products. As a small family business, we have grown our sustainable homeware brand over the last two years and we are also stocked in over 250 independent stores across the UK. Our launch in Oxfam reflects the growing desire for customers to shop based on their values. We have big plans to grow our range even further in the next year to offer customers a wider selection of fun, sustainable products that tackle the problem of single-use plastics and inspire reuse."

Katy, who has spent her career in the global charity sector, added, "I am personally over the moon that Oxfam is our first major national UK retailer. Having witnessed first-hand the impact of Oxfam’s work and campaigns, it’s important to us that as our small business grows, we continue to align with retailers who share our ethics and values."

Oxfam’s impact is vast, helping over 10 million people worldwide by providing life-saving resources, supporting fair wages, and fostering sustainable development. The launch with ecojiko is testament to Oxfam's commitment to promoting sustainable living and ethical consumerism.

About Ecojiko

We are a small family business in the Lancashire Hills on a mission to inspire people to waste less and reuse more through our range of gorgeous, reusable and quirky household essentials. 

I'm the founder, Katy, and my journey started ten years ago in East Africa where I lived and worked in the global charity sector for many years. On returning to the UK I 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 I set up ecojiko. To keep the inspiration from my time spent with the incredible waste-free mamas I named the business after the Swahili word 'jiko' meaning kitchen. 

Since launching, our playful range of reusable, eco-friendly must haves has grown. From humble beginnings in a single local store to forging partnerships with over 250 independent stockists worldwide we are now primed to scale the business to new heights. In 2024, we're set to make waves with a launch alongside a major UK national retailer.
