Kaveh Mostafavi
Founder of CEO of EcoCare Supply and The Compost Ninja
When it comes to doing thoughtful, eco-minded work, EcoCare pretty much does it all. The Iowa research, development and wholesale distribution firm offers thousands of traditional and sustainable products from hundreds of manufacturers—from compostable food ware to more effective and safer cleaners, EcoCare is essentially a one-stop shop for all things traditional and sustainable janitorial, sanitary, food service and office products.
What does it mean to you to be an eco trendsetter? It is my passion, life’s work and something I am extremely proud of.
Best advice for how to be more sustainable in our day-to-day lives? Very simple—reduce food waste. Buy less more often to avoid spoiled foods, and compost. Replace plastics and foams with fiber and paper options.
Why is it so important to be more eco-minded in our work? Because we owe it to the future generations to do all we can to reverse the damage.
What impact do you most hope to leave on your community and the world? I hope to make EcoCare Supply and The Compost Ninja’s Zero Waste Solutions a common business practice.
