In 2014 Emma said enough. Fed up with single-use paper towels, tissues and bags clogging up landfills she got to work finding solutions for her family life.  The business started by selling reusable produce bags at the local Saturday market. They repeatedly sold out, so she grew the range to include other sustainable products she wanted but couldn’t find. Sustainable living shouldn’t look boring. Emma fixed that with compostable, plant based, hard-working and seriously good-looking products.

Every Dishcloth, Handkerchiefs, Towels, Bags & Greeting Cards in the range is something Emma’s family uses everyday, chosen because they work, hard enough for real family life, lovely enough to give as gifts. These are the reusable heroes you have been looking for and they help make the switch to sustainable living super easy.

 

“The rules were simple: we had to want to use the products ourselves, and they had to handle our months of testing and trials.”

Emma – Owner 

Reduce, reuse, recycle has always been The Green Collectives mantra but they’ve add re-purpose, re-fresh and re-create to the list. The Green Collective is always looking at everyday habits and asking: could this be better? That curiosity has led to some unexpected places. They have become a bit of a matchmaker for waste, connecting materials that would otherwise be thrown out with organisations who can give them a new life. Recent examples: retired kite surfing kites repurposed into post-surgical drainage bag covers for Cancer Society volunteers. And their limited banner bags made from expired advertising and event banners with expired child car seat straps.

The Spilt Milk Co. is a heartfelt fusion of artistry, craftsmanship, and motherhood—founded by Ashley, a mother of three with a background in art, design, and jewellery retail. Six months pregnant with her third child, she began the business from her home studio in Papamoa, driven by a desire to help others preserve life’s most meaningful and fleeting moments.

Over the past 6½ years, The Spilt Milk Co. has grown into a beloved keepsake jewellery brand, known for creating deeply personal pieces using elements such as breast milk, hair, placenta, and ashes. Each item is a wearable tribute to love, memory, and connection.
