Eco Cheeks & Greenfleet: A Partnership for Environmental Impact
At Eco Cheeks, we believe in making a positive environmental impact from the outset. From the very first sale, we have donated to our two chosen charities: Starlight Children's Foundation and Greenfleet. Even before reaching profitability, we committed to giving back because it reflects our core values. Today, we’re focusing on Greenfleet, an organisation working to restore Australian ecosystems and improve biodiversity—causes that align closely with our mission to protect the planet.
As koalas face significant threats from habitat loss due to deforestation, Greenfleet’s replanting efforts are crucial. By restoring eucalyptus forests, which are vital to koalas’ survival, Greenfleet helps ensure that these marsupials have the resources they need to sustain their populations in the wild.
We here at Eco Cheeks take this commitment a step further by donating extra to offset all of the shipments and orders we send out. This means that every delivery you receive from us is carbon neutral, ensuring that our entire operation contributes to a greener planet.
If you’d like to see the environmental impact of these efforts, check out Greenfleet’s before-and-after images here. These visual transformations illustrate the power of reforestation in bringing degraded land back to life.

Restoring Australia’s Native Forests
Deforestation has had a significant environmental impact on Australia’s wildlife, biodiversity, and ability to capture carbon. Greenfleet seeks to counter this through the careful selection and planting of native species that help rebuild the balance within affected ecosystems. These efforts not only improve carbon sequestration but also play a crucial role in restoring natural habitats for endangered species.[Source: https://www.greenfleet.com.au/pages/offset]
Their forest restoration projects target key regions across Australia, prioritising biodiversity hotspots and areas where habitat loss has been most severe. If you’re interested in seeing where these projects are happening, Greenfleet’s forest restoration map provides a great overview here.Protecting Wildlife and Supporting Koalas
Greenfleet is deeply committed to restoring habitats for Australia’s native species, with a special focus on koalas. For over 25 years, Greenfleet has been dedicated to planting legally protected habitats for koalas and other threatened wildlife. In 2023 alone, they successfully planted 493 hectares of new koala habitat. Since 2021, their revegetation projects have added nearly 1,000 hectares of habitat specifically for koalas, providing essential food and shelter for these iconic animals.As koalas face significant threats from habitat loss due to deforestation, Greenfleet’s replanting efforts are crucial. By restoring eucalyptus forests, which are vital to koalas’ survival, Greenfleet helps ensure that these marsupials have the resources they need to sustain their populations in the wild.
But Greenfleet’s impact goes beyond just koalas. Their projects are designed to benefit a broad range of Australian wildlife by rebuilding entire ecosystems. These efforts create vital habitats that support various species, offering them shelter and food sources necessary for their survival.

Offsetting Carbon and Addressing Climate Change
A significant aspect of Greenfleet’s work is focused on reducing carbon emissions. By planting trees that act as carbon sinks, Greenfleet helps offset the greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Their carbon offset program enables individuals and businesses to contribute to these reforestation efforts, directly supporting climate action through native forest restoration.We here at Eco Cheeks take this commitment a step further by donating extra to offset all of the shipments and orders we send out. This means that every delivery you receive from us is carbon neutral, ensuring that our entire operation contributes to a greener planet.
