Ethical Practices
Eco Art & Craft manufactures its products in Australia within a small-scale, family-owned facility under direct oversight, operating 100% off-grid. Ingredient sourcing prioritises reputable suppliers with compliance documentation and traceability, including HJ Langdon, a SEDEX member with documented quality assurance frameworks. All products are 100% vegan, free from animal-derived ingredients and not tested on animals. Formal third-party testing processes commenced in 2025 to substantiate product safety and formulation integrity. The brand maintains a commitment to a safe, respectful and inclusive workplace culture.
Sustainable Practices
Eco Art and Craft operates from a 100% off-grid facility in Northern NSW powered entirely by on-site solar energy stored in battery systems, with all operational water sourced from harvested rainwater. Packaging has transitioned to fibre-based materials designed for composting or recycling, with ongoing removal of plastic components. Powdered paint formats extend shelf life and minimise product waste, while botanical pigment systems reduce reliance on fossil-fuel derived synthetic dyes. Small-batch production reduces overproduction and excess inventory waste.
Social Impact
Eco Art & Craft supports regional economic activity by prioritising Australian suppliers and local manufacturing, and engages with nature-based playgroups and early childhood groups across Australia to encourage earth-friendly craft materials and nature-connected creative play. The brand provides accessible education for families about the environmental impact and safety of craft materials through online platforms, and is committed to supporting families navigating grief by recognising creative practices as a gentle form of therapeutic expression and exploring partnerships with organisations supporting these families.
Product Reviews by Experts
I love how easy the instructions were to follow – it was minimal prep! I also adored the fact sheet about volcanos that the kit came with as it provided so many talking points for me to go over with my homeschooled kids. It was really great that there was no plastic inside. And that all of the ingredients in the kit were actually low tox and safe for the whole family. I loved the creating together aspect too. It was a wonderful activity that my 3 children enjoyed for over an hour (long after the volcano explosion). I love the strong correlation between creativity and sustainability. I love that this beautiful family has created a business around their own values. It is so impressive to see a business not taking short cuts and providing a beautiful product and experience that can be enjoyed by the whole family without having a negative impact on the environment or our health.
The kids had a great time building/mixing together all the elements and creating a volcano. They were fully engaged and especially loved the fizzing explosion at the end. Very thoughtful and fun thing to do with the kids and all our hands were totally messy and we didn’t have to worry about it being toxic which I loved! I was particularly impressed by the practical sustainability measures. Operating from a fully off-grid facility powered by solar, using harvested rainwater and sourcing FSC-certified packaging demonstrates a genuine commitment beyond marketing claims.
My kids had a lot of fun with this imaginative kit. What a great idea! Really thoughtful ingredients, packaging and process.
