Koh SustainabilityUpdated an hour ago
TL;DR: Koh's approach is reduce and reuse rather than replace. The formulas are concentrated and sold as refills, so the bottle and trigger stay in use. The tab and sheet formats carry the dose without the water, so they need no bottle at all. The tools are built to be kept, washed and repaired, and spare parts are sold separately so one worn component does not retire the whole thing.
✓ Buying less is the point
One cleaner across many surfaces, refilled rather than replaced. The aim is fewer products in the cupboard, not more.
✓ Parts, not whole replacements
Mop bottles, mop plates, brush heads and pads are sold on their own, so a worn part does not mean a new tool.
What does sustainability mean at Koh?
✓ Reduce and reuse, in practice
One concentrated product covers many surfaces, so you buy fewer separate cleaners. The formulas are sold as refills so the spray bottle and trigger stay in use. The tools are made to be kept, washed and repaired rather than thrown away.
We use the word sustainability here as shorthand for that approach to designing the range, not as a standalone environmental claim about the products.
Which parts of the system are reusable?
✓ Machine washable textiles
Cloths, mop pads, dishcloths and mitts go in the machine and come back out ready to use again.
✓ Durable tools
Brushes, the spray mop and the Loo Blade are built as long-life tools with components you can replace individually.
✓ Bottles get refilled
Spray bottles and trigger heads are refilled from the concentrated formulas rather than bought again with each purchase.
✓ Tabs and sheets skip the bottle
Dishwashing Tabs, Loo Cleaner Tabs and Sensitive Laundry Sheets carry the dose without the water, so there is no bottle, trigger or cap at all.
Can I replace one part instead of the whole thing?
✓ Spare parts are sold on their own
Components such as mop bottles, mop plates, mop tops, brush heads and mop pads are sold individually, so a worn or broken part does not mean replacing the whole tool.
If the part you need is not listed on the Spare Parts page, get in touch and we will tell you whether it is available. Support hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00–17:00 Australian Eastern time, closed weekends and Australian public holidays.
What are you not claiming here?
⚠ The limits of all this
Reusing a tool reduces how often you buy a new one. It does not eliminate waste, and every tool eventually wears out. We are not using sustainable, planet-friendly, biodegradable or compostable as bare labels, because those words mean nothing without saying what breaks down, under what conditions and over what period.
We are not making a packaging recyclability claim on this page either, because the answer differs by component and by local council, and we have not commissioned a published lifecycle assessment, so there is no percentage or net figure from us. Certifications are a separate matter and are held product by product, never across the range.
Reduced, not eliminated
The certification side of the answer: which schemes apply to which products, and the claims we deliberately do not make.
Refills · keep the bottle you have
Concentrated refills for the products you already use, so the spray bottle and trigger stay in service.
