Ecodis

What Ecodis does

Ecodis is a French designer and B2B distributor of ecological household, personal-care, and kitchen products, headquartered in Saint-Nolff, Brittany. Founded in 2000, the company markets approximately 1,200–1,500 stock-keeping units across eight proprietary brands — La Droguerie Écologique, La Droguerie Écopratique, Anaé, Ah! Table!, Blue, By Venga, Zélio, and La Belle Potagère — and sells exclusively to professional buyers, reaching roughly 3,000 retail points of sale (organic/bio specialty stores, bulk/debulk stores, artisans, and B2B e-commerce resellers) across France and selected European markets. Sales channels are a dedicated B2B e-commerce platform (ecodisonline.fr), key-account relationships (notably Biocoop), and recurring presence at major European trade shows including Natexpo, BioXpo (Brussels), Maison&Objet, Salon du Vrac, and Botanic.

The company's technology base is rooted in physical product formulation and lightweight material innovation rather than software. Ecodis operates an in-house oil mill and soap factory in Péaule — described as the only such facility in Brittany — which presses organic linseed and processes bio oils for its La Droguerie Écologique black-soap range. It applies a proprietary Carbon Index methodology that quantifies product-level CO2 footprint in grams CO2 equivalent per 100g of product, and it has piloted novel packaging such as eggshell-derived bioplastic cartons and sugarcane-based biosourced stretch film. The portfolio is underpinned by independent third-party certifications including GOTS (textiles), COSMOS (cosmetics), FSC (forestry), Ecocert ecodetergent, and organic-farming labels.

Ecodis is a private S.A.S. wholly owned since 1 January 2017 by the Ecodyssée endowment fund — a structure that legally precludes any corporate takeover and channels profits into ecological and solidarity projects — making it, per the company's own framing, the first such arrangement in France. The business model is wholesale distribution of branded eco-products to professional resellers, with no direct consumer sales and no publicly disclosed consumer pricing. FY2019 revenue was reported at €27.5 million with 40% year-over-year growth and roughly 100 employees. To mark its 25th anniversary, Ecodis is consolidating its six consumer-facing brands under a new unified identity, "Grand Beau," revealed at Natexpo 2025 and rolling into stores from June 2026, while simultaneously executing a corporate transformation project (Comex/CODIR governance, operational digitization, and website redesign).

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves10 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Seventh Generation: North American eco-household brand (owned by Unilever) offering cleaning, paper, and personal care products with sustainability positioning. Comparable as a broad incumbent in eco household products with similar product categories and a much larger distribution footprint.
• Ecover: Pioneering European eco-cleaning brand (now part of SC Johnson), offering plant-based household cleaning products across mainstream retail. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the eco-cleaning category, with significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach than Ecodis.
• Maison Verte (Henkel): French eco-cleaning brand owned by Henkel, distributing through mass retail in France. Comparable in the French eco-cleaning category, but with the scale and distribution muscle of a global CPG parent competing for the same end consumer.

Regional players

• La Vie Naturelle: Belgian organic and natural products distributor serving Benelux retailers. Comparable as a regional eco-product distributor in the Western European bio channel, providing a useful cross-border comparison to Ecodis's limited Belgian and German reach.

Direct peers

• ATTITUDE: Canadian-based eco-household and personal care brand sold across North America and Europe. Comparable in product categories (cleaning, personal care, baby), natural-ingredient formulation approach, and growing specialty retail distribution.
• Starwax: French mid-market cleaning products brand with a broad portfolio of household cleaners, soaps, and ecological formulations. Comparable in product overlap (cleaning, ecological positioning) and French B2B retail distribution.
• Briochin: Long-established French household cleaning brand (founded 1918) producing ecological and traditional cleaning products. Comparable as a French heritage cleaning brand with overlapping product categories (cleaners, soaps, traditional formulations) and French retail distribution.
• Léa Nature: French company headquartered in Périgny, designing and distributing organic and ecological products across food and non-food categories. Highly comparable to Ecodis in geography, business model (B2B distribution to organic retail), product breadth, and market positioning in the French bio channel.

Emerging players

• Respire: French eco-household and personal care startup with natural formulations and DTC-led growth. Comparable as a French eco brand in adjacent categories (cleaning, hygiene), though operating with a younger, digital-first model and smaller scale than Ecodis.
• Pilo: French eco-cleaning and personal care brand offering refillable, natural-ingredient products sold through bio retail and DTC channels. Comparable in product positioning (eco cleaning, French bio channel distribution) but with a smaller, more DTC-tilted model.
