EaKo is constantly thinking about waste. The instant we met the London Fire Brigade we fell in love with their old hose. Although we started in London, EaKo now collects hose across the UK and in order to thank Britain’s Brigades, 50% of our profits go back to the Fire Fighters Charity. We scrub away all the soot, grease, and everything else that builds up after 25 years of active duty, and in the process reveal a truly remarkable, truly green textile.

At EaKo, all of our products are considered from an environmental perspective - industrial waste is the cornerstone of our raw material usage. Here are some of the materials we use:
- Condemned fire-hose
- Waste coffee sacks
- Scrap sail cloth
- Used Air Traffic Control flight strips
- Unwanted optician's boxes
- Reclaimed pewter belt buckles
- Decommissioned office furniture material
We are always looking to take on new waste materials, so if you have any industrial waste, we would love to hear from you!
