LAUNDRY SOAPS BY MUNCH

New Zealand ethical eco essentials company Munch has launched new completely natural Laundry Soap bars. They have removed all unnecessary ingredients and packaging to create a simple New Zealand made soap. All natural. No nasties. Cares for our environment and our skin.

The Munch Laundry Soap is tough on stains while being gentle enough for baby clothes and delicates. Low irritant. No added chemicals, no bleach. Just pure effective plant based soap.

“We are excited to launch another NZ made product this month!” says Anna Bordignon, Founder and Director of Munch. ”We’re all about helping Kiwis be more sustainable every day.”

I am so pleased to bring on board Alex MacGibbon as my Sales and Marketing Manager. Alex is full of energy and positivism which I absolutely love and something many people don't have or have lost this spark. 

Alex is an experienced Sales and Marketing Manager and I am very excited to see how she will contribute to the growth of our brands.  She has already been writing many of our mailers (many have commented how great they are now - so it was not me but her!!).

Alex also has a strong interest in sustainability and has championed many sustainable events, advocacy and is constant source of knowledge in these areas.

Make your proposal now!

The Munch Cupboard advocacy team have put forward our company proposal under this consultation process. Anna's past legal career means that our company loves to be part of important government changes with due respect to democracy (in fact one of Anna's dreams is to have a full team just working on advocacy projects!). Say no to plastics and let's be innovative kiwis and find other alternatives. Read more below and make your proposal as well.

Plastic has many uses in our lives yet it is polluting our land, lakes, rivers, streams and marine environment. The government wants New Zealand to move away from hard-to-recycle and single-use items. It has two proposals that would help us do that.

The first proposal is to phase out the following types of unrecyclable plastic. 

• Some polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polystyrene packaging 
• All oxo-degradable plastic products. 

The second proposal is to phase-out seven types of single-use plastic items.

We are keen to hear your views on the proposals.

The consultation closes on 4 December 2020 at 5pm.

We are in the news about our new Showroom. Opening this Thursday at 5.30. Speeches at 6pm.  You can tune into the speeches on events over on our Facebook page.

Here is a snippet from the news...

Munch and it’s sister brand Nil have been empowering Kiwi’s to be more eco friendly for over five years, with their wide range of plastic free and sustainably made essential products. Considering the environmental impacts isn’t new for founder Anna Bordignon, who says the whole product lifecycle needs to be looked at to be sustainable and ethical.

Bordignon says a lot has changed since they started. Back in 2015, eco and sustainable product categories didn’t exist in mainstream supermarkets. Fast forward to 2020, single use plastic bags are gone and waste reduction and sustainable reporting is expected of businesses.

Munch are proud to be playing a part in changing behaviour in consumer buying and sustainable manufacturing. They have seen an increase in consumer knowledge about sustainable and ethical production.
