FAQs

What’s the meaning behind the name Eddi?

Eddi, which rhymes with ready, is inspired by eddy current separators which are used to simply and efficiently sort aluminum for recycling. Eddy current separators, which ingeniously use magnetism, allow for cost-effective and localized aluminum recycling making aluminum especially recycling-friendly.

An eddy is also a circular current in water that swirls counter to the stream, a natural phenomenon that pushes us to start a new counter culture.

Where are Eddi products made?

We continually strive to build partnerships with suppliers that mirror our values and high standards for fair labor practices, environmental responsibility, and quality control. We evaluated and vetted dozens of factories and suppliers before selecting our current partners. We’ll continue to routinely evaluate our supply chain to ensure Eddi’s products are created and delivered in a responsible manner.

Our Eddi dispensers are manufactured in China. Our hand soap refills, including the aluminum bottles, the hand soap, and our natural fragrances, are manufactured in the U.S. Our packaging is also made in the U.S.

How does an Eddi dispenser work?

Your Eddi Hand Soap Dispenser works with Eddi Scented Hand Soap refills for mess-free, waste-free refilling. To use, simply:

- Uncap your refill and store the cap under the dispenser base

- Open the dispenser at the seam and twist the refill bottle into the pump using the dip tube as a guide

- Close the dispenser, roll up your sleeves, and enjoy

When your refill is empty, open the dispenser, untwist the bottle and replace with a new refill. Recycle the empty bottle and cap with your other aluminum cans.

Learn more about How It Works

How should I clean my Eddi dispenser? Is it dishwasher-safe?

Your Eddi dispensers can be washed by hand with a mild detergent (like our soap) and wiped dry with a soft cloth. If your pump gets clogged, simply remove the refill bottle and pump through with warm water.

Do not wash in a dishwasher. 

What testing does Eddi perform?

Eddi dispensers are made with high quality materials and components that are safe for both you and the environment. We’re serious about testing — dropping, scratching, and soaking your Eddi in salt water so that we know it’ll brighten your countertop for years to come.

Our overseas factory partners are ISO:9000 certified for quality and safety control and all of our products are California Prop 65 compliant.

What materials are Eddi dispensers made from?

We limit plastic waste in our products and packaging. Eddi dispensers are primarily made from premium metals like stainless steel and zinc, and are designed to last for years. Select components are made from high quality silicone and other plastic where necessary for function, such as the interior pump mechanism or non-slip base ring.

What materials are Eddi refill bottles made from?

We limit plastic waste in our products and packaging. Eddi soap refill bottles are made from aluminum, a recycling-friendly alternative to plastic, and printed with soy-based inks. Our bottles are sealed with reusable and recyclable threaded aluminum caps.

What should I do with my refill bottle when empty?

Eddi is designed to make it easy to limit plastic waste and become more sustainable in your everyday routine. Your refill bottles are made from recycling friendly aluminum, which is recycled more frequently and is more valuable for recycling centers to reprocess than plastic. When empty, simply place your refill bottle and cap in the recycling bin with your other cans.

We encourage you to check with your local recycling center to learn more about their programs and how you can help support increased recycling participation in your community.

Do I need to send back my refill bottles?

No, we chose aluminum as the material for our refill bottles specifically because it’s infinitely recyclable, and curbside recycling friendly. Using aluminum allows you to simply recycle refill bottles with your other cans and know that you are supporting local recycling programs and limiting plastic waste.

In the future, we hope to offer a reclamation program in local communities as a complement to curbside recycling programs.

Can I make a change to my order?

We are able to make shipping address and order modifications until your order is packed in our warehouse. Reach out to Eddi customer service at help@meeteddi.com or through our chat support as soon as possible and we’ll assist you with updating your order.

Can I add a gift receipt to my order?

All of our orders are shipped with a packing slip that does not include the price of each product, along with instructions on how to make a return. This packing slip acts as the gift receipt.

Are discount codes stackable?

Discount codes are not stackable.

How frequently should I reorder?

Every Eddi 9.5oz refill has over 200 pumps worth of soap. Not sure how long a 4-pack will last? Don’t worry, we’ve done the math.

Our advice to get you started:

-Living blissfully on your own? Deliver every 3 months

-Cohabitating with a partner or roommate? Deliver every 2 months

-About that family life? Deliver every month

Remember that subscriptions ship free within the U.S. and you can always adjust your delivery frequency.

Can I skip an order?

Yes, you can skip your subscription anytime. You can also adjust your frequency or 4-pack scent mix. We’ll remind you when your next 4-pack is set to about ship in case you need to make any changes to your order. 

Our sustainability priorities

At Eddi we prioritize sustainability in all aspects of our business. For our team that means focusing on 5 initiatives:

-limiting plastic waste

-using recyclable materials and growing recycling programs

-formulating products with natural ingredients

-operating our business ethically for our team, customers, and partners

-continuously revisiting our practices for opportunities to improve

Why does Eddi use aluminum?

We set out to find a material that eliminates plastic waste without sacrificing convenience and durability. For several reasons, aluminum was the clear choice:

Recyclability: Aluminum is curbside recycling friendly. Recycling centers sort and separate aluminum through an efficient, automated process using an eddy (!) current separator, making it cost-effective and easier to recycle locally (unlike plastic). Just recycle your Eddi with your other beverage cans.

Value: Aluminum is far more valuable than plastic or glass. 

Aluminum’s high scrap value incentivizes collection and the operation of local materials recovery facilities — helping to sustain and grow recycling programs.

Additionally, our aluminum refill bottles are BPA-free and our labels are printed using soy-based inks to avoid adhesives.

What materials is Eddi packaging made from?

We limit plastic waste in our products and packaging. Eddi packaging is made from corrugated cardboard. It is fully repulpable and recyclable, made with 35% recycled content, and printed with water-based inks. We use plastic-free kraft tape and limit marketing inserts to avoid unnecessary waste.

Why are you pursuing B Corp status?

At Eddi, we recognize the power and responsibility businesses carry in impacting our world. We are inspired by B Corp companies who prioritize sustainability not simply in the materials they use but also across all aspects of how they operate their businesses.
