ecomum: quality environmental alternatives
ecomum is a home-run business based out of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Ecomum specializes in quality reusable products, and hard to find organics.
Begun in 2001, ecomum was inspired by then 6 month old son Skye, and the frustrating experience of trying to find good cloth diapers and advice on how to use them, as well as ethically manufactured or organic clothing. Since then, ecomum has expanded its inventory to include organic clothing for adults and kids, as well as hemp and other alternative fabrics, reusable swim diapers, detergents, baby carrying slings, waldorf toys and more. Additionally, ecomum's home-grown product line includes hemp prefold diapers, and baby-weigh slings which are used by midwives across Ontario. ecomum is proud to offer its own line of hemp prefold diapers, made at home in Canada from 55% hemp/45% green cotton fabric. Not only are these hemp blends twice as absorbent as conventional cotton diapers but because of their hemp content are softer on the earth in their cultivation, and boast mildew resistant and antibacterial properties. All hemp diapers are natural, unbleached colour. (steel blue, cranberry or taupe available as special order at additional charge)The ecomum family is primarily Jeannine, and Dave, and kids Skye and Abi who are the testers for the products. Everyone helps out in some way -- Skye even helps with some of the home-sewn products, while Abi provides excellent distractions. Also at hand are local friends, and members of the Peterborough LETS Exchange Community Association. Ecomum's products are chosen for the following reasons as much as possible
