WASTE WISE

At Ethico, the maxim is segregation of waste and the best part is the store accepts segregated garbage. This could potentially be the solution to all of Goa’s garbage problem.

RECLAIMED WOOD?

The most alluring part of Ethico is its furniture section. All of it is made of reclaimed wood. The store also takes customised orders.
