ECOS

Health & Household

ECOS is a family-owned cleaning products company founded in 1967 that has achieved substantial third-party environmental certifications, including carbon neutrality since 2013, water neutrality since 2016, and Climate Positive status with 110% offset of environmental impacts. The brand manufactures in 100% renewable energy-powered U.S. facilities and has diverted 99% of manufacturing waste through TRUE Platinum Zero Waste certification. However, multiple lawsuits (2015, 2022, 2026) allege false advertising—claiming products labeled 'non-toxic' contain phenoxyethanol and that 'zero plastic' laundry sheets contain polyvinyl alcohol plastic, resulting in a $176,110 settlement in 2026. Some product lines continue to be manufactured in China despite emphasis on U.S. production.
