Ecohub.lk said this week that it is a virtual marketplace that brings together the best eco-friendly, natural and sustainable products to make healthy and sustainable living easier than ever before.

Driven by the vision of making sustainable and earth-friendly commerce the new normal, Ecohub.lk provides convenient access to a wide range of local eco-friendly products and services at affordable prices, the company said in a media release.

This venture was established in 2019 by three friends equally passionate about doing their part for the environment. Ecohub.lk is supported both technically and financially through HackaDev; the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Sri Lanka’s flagship youth and innovation programme.

The HackaDev Enterprise Support Programme (HESP) is an initiative which is aimed at rebuilding enterprises and empowering entrepreneurs of the HackaDev alumni network affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the first cohort successfully implemented in 2020/21, it provided 6-months of comprehensive further development support to 15 enterprises, the release said. Curve Up was entrusted as the expert service provider to manage the seed funding and incubation support process of the HESP interventions, who were successful in providing necessary support and hands on guidance to entrepreneurs in their journey, contributing to the successful completion of the programme.

Ecohub’s products comprise a range of toys, wellness products, tableware and culinary ingredients, all of which are made from materials such as bamboo, clay, coconut and wood. Every single product passes through Ecohub’s five-pillar criteria to make it to the platform.

Co-Founder of Ecohub.lk Tharindu Damith Abeyrathna said, “The primary motivation behind our initiative was our concern regarding the current rate of environmental pollution in Sri Lanka, and the desire to support local businesses that were struggling to sell their sustainable products at best prices. E-commerce seemed to be the best solution to simultaneously tackle both these issues, while also providing the opportunity to build a healthy and eco-friendly community around it.”

Ecohub.lk is committed to helping every Sri Lankan make more sustainable living choices in the hope of conserving our planet for future generations. “We want all Sri Lankans to know that an eco-friendly lifestyle doesn’t have to be expensive and inconvenient, and that’s exactly what we are here for! It’s time that we help each other create a healthy planet for healthy people and a healthy future,” he added.
