Last March 25, 2024, New South Wales took a massive step towards protecting our beautiful marine ecosystems by mandating the installation of greywater tanks on vessels and setting some serious standards for managing greywater. Meanwhile in Victoria, our local councils are encouraged to regulate the installation and maintenance of onsite greywater systems.
How good is that?! We are all in this together, fighting for sustainability and making every drop count. And if you are serious about recycling your greywater, you will want to make sure you are using the right products. These aren’t your usual, off-the-shelf cleaners and detergents – no way.

Greywater: Sustainable Solutions for Water Conservation
Greywater is simply the gently used water that flows from your showers, sinks, washing machines, and the like. It is not sewage, but it is water that can be given a second life, like watering your garden or flushing toilets. Recycling this stuff means saving precious drinking water, cutting down on waste, and giving Mother Nature a well-deserved breather.
Quick Guide to Choosing Greywater Safe Products
Let’s face it, some cleaning products out there are total troublemakers. They are packed with chemicals that aren’t just bad for your home, they are bad for everything, plants, wildlife, and even your own health if you use them long enough.
Ready to find out how to pick the right ones? Here's a quick guide to help you make the right choices:
Check Ingredient Lists
Avoid anything that contains harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, or phosphates. These substances can harm plants and soil when greywater is reused for irrigation. Instead, look for products with simple, natural ingredients.
Look for ‘Greywater Safe’ Labels
Keep an eye out for any 'greywater safe' labels on the packaging. These labels usually indicate that the product has been tested and is safe to use in systems that recycle water for garden use. If the label is missing, do a little research or contact the manufacturer directly.
Concentrated and Low-Impact Detergents
Go for concentrated and low-impact detergents when possible. They use less water and packaging, which is better for greywater systems. And they are often just as effective as traditional cleaners, but with less waste.
Consider Local Regulations
Be aware of any local regulations around greywater use in your area. Some places have specific guidelines for what’s safe to use, so it is best to stay informed.
Choose Euca Products
Let’s not beat around the bush, Euca’s cleaning and laundry products are absolutely smashing it when it comes to being greywater safe. Here’s why:
