Our Story

In 2009, when Geoff and Helen Arden launched Greencane, it was never as much about starting a business as it was about providing a sustainable choice for everyday products.

Initially, with our bamboo-based range of paper product's we wanted to challenge an industry continuing to use 15-20 year old trees when a fast-growing sustainable alternative is available.

Our newly launched detergent sheets offer a similar sustainable option with no plastic packaging, plant-based and no nasty chemicals- says Geoff. “As Founder's we are immensely proud that Greencane is now stocked in over a hundred stores, with thousands of supporters each week making a positive impact for our planet with each purchase.''

Plastic Free & Being Innovative

Greencane’s commitment from day one has been to be plastic free and fully compositable. This commitment has resulted in an innovative approach, first with retail packaging utilizing plant-based clear cellophane instead of the traditional plastic solution. Next was the push to move away from sellotape to using a bamboo based tape. More recently has been the development of the Naked range of products which have no individual packaging. Another development being our bamboo dispensers suited for businesses, again instead of the traditional plastic solution.

By choosing Greencane you send a powerful message that you value our environment, for us to be a part of this is amazing.
