The wide range of recycled and rapidly renewable products at Ellie’s Eco Home Store are as impressive for what they are – attractive, affordable, effective, clever – as what they aren’t – poisonous, single use, wasteful. Ellie’s new nontoxic cleaner bar, featuring eight beer taps that dispense natural cleaning products, is a prime example. At Ellie’s, the mission is to enable everyone to live an environmentally sustainable life. “Our customers appreciate our breadth of selection and quality of products,” says Eco-Products president Steve Savage. Offering items such as recycled plastic furniture, cork flooring, organic linens, nontoxic fertilizer and natural pet supplies, Ellie’s Eco Home Store gives all of us the means to reduce our footprint on the planet. Particularly popular is the compostable tableware (plates, cups, bowls, straws and cutlery), which is manufactured by Ellie’s parent company, Eco-Products. Explains Savage: “People love having those products for their birthday parties, company picnics and other events,” including the likes of the Boulder Asian Festival and the U.S. Open Tennis Championships in Flushing Meadows, Queens.
