Sustainable cleaning product company, Composty, has made it to the final eight companies in the Amazon Sustainability Accelerator programme, reports Katie Roberts-Mason on Housewares News.
Amazon’s dedicated programme supports start-up businesses which specialise in sustainable innovation. The programme was launched in 2022 and has helped over 50 hand-picked businesses across the UK and Europe.
Co-founder of Composty, Matt Guest, commented on LinkedIn: “I’m really proud to share that Composty has been selected as one of the final eight start-ups for the 2025 Amazon Sustainability Accelerator.
“Out of over a 1,000 applications across Europe, we’ve made it through — and I’m honestly buzzing.
“The programme is all about helping purpose-driven brands grow, and it feels like a big step forward for Composty and what we’re trying to build.
“When we started Composty, it came from a simple belief: there had to be a better way than plastic-filled sponges that end up in landfill.
“Fast forward to today, and our compostable, plastic-free sponges and cloths are helping thousands of households cut down on waste and ditch microplastics — and we’re only just getting started.”
The other three UK start-ups chosen for the programme are Bantu Chocolate, Grace & Green and Kwerky. Elsewhere in Europe, there are four companies on the programme including AuraSkin, Horee, Hygge and Omuu Pet.
