History
Established in 2020.
The Green Llama
Why are we shipping water across the country? Water is heavy and costs energy to move around, so why not just get concentrated reagents and use your own water? So, we took aim at the plastic spray
bottles sitting under our sink. We spent around a year, beginning July 2020, researching and developing Green Llama.
How did you know how to do this?. Well, my science background came in here. I am not a chemist, but my training gave me the insight needed to figure out anything I didn’t know. Testing different formulas, writing down results and reading plenty of literature was really second nature. Kay’s intuition for the business and creative side gave the project the life and character I simply couldn’t conjure. As an example, the quirky and unique name came from a trip to an Alpaca farm, close to where we live. On seeing an Alpaca that had a green hue under the light conditions, Kay burst forth with Green Llama. And I Loved it.
Meet the Business Owner: Kay and Matt B.
Early in 2020, she and Matt (her husband), a practicing neuroscientist, came up with a project to reduce the huge amount of plastic under the sink. Kay took aim at reducing single-use plastic in the cleaning industry. During COVID, she worked with Matt to convert their garage into a laboratory where they tested a great number of formulations, cross referencing ingredients found on the EPA’s safer choice list and EWG’s database to create safe and effective surface cleaning ingredients.
Green Llama was born.
She believes when everyone makes small sustainable changes, we can make a huge impact.
