The Eco Maniax Ethos
We are a local family business. At Eco Maniax our ethos is to help our customers towards living a more sustainable lifestyle by reducing the amount of plastic and packaging in their weekly shop.
We aim to source our products from local suppliers where possible and strive to ensure they are produced ethically and fair trade where we can. This is all served in a relaxed and informal manner in which we are sure our customers appreciate as opposed to the hustle and bustle of the mainstream supermarkets.
