Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Guangzhou, China, EKO is vertically integrated, with broad based design, engineering, manufacturing and product development capabilities. At EKO we apply continuous innovation to redefine waste bins and other household objects as functional and décor enhancing products.
EKO products are now sold in more than 100 different countries and territories, and EKO has become one of the most creative and influential Chinese smart houseware brands. As a trailblazer in the industry, EKO continues to inspire excellence in all aspects of our business, with dedication to create fine quality smart products for the present and future.
"A little better, much better"
Creativity and innovation sparked the begining of EKO. When others are bounded by the traditional image of the waste bin, EKO saw the potential of the product to be reinvented and reimagined. By creating a brand new perception of what a waste bin can be, EKO has become a leader in the industry. “A little better, much better,” quoted by EKO founder and CEO, Mr James, no change is too small for EKO. We believe a small change can make a big difference in the user’s experience.
