Eco Zeena was a small business, trading mainly on markets, for sustainable cosmetic and household products. The business was founded by Sina Longman in 2019 in Winchester, UK. The first year of trading was interrupted by lockdown in March 2020. During that time, opportunities arose for Sina’s husband, who works in academic research, to move to her home country Germany. After moving to Oldenburg in the northwest of Germany, Sina reopened the business and successfully ran, in addition to the market, two pop-up stores and a Christimas market stall in the time she was there.

Life took another turn when her husband got a job offer in England in 2022. After some deliberation, they decided to move again. As a result, Sina closed Eco Zeena in Germany at the end of 2022.

It is still unclear what will happen to Eco Zeena. With a science backround herself, Sina has returned to academia for now, but reopening Eco Zeena is very much still an option.
