As the realities of climate change become more obvious each day, being thoughtful about how we consume is increasingly important. Today’s consumers expect brands to offer more eco-friendly products.
One study found 64% of consumers rank sustainability as one of the most important value drivers when buying products. On top of this, 80% of consumers are willing to pay a premium for sustainable products—some are willing to pay 9.7% more for products that are locally sourced, made from eco-friendly materials, and produced with a low-carbon footprint.
It’s clear that selling eco-friendly products is not only a feel-good business idea—it’s also an increasingly lucrative one. Ahead, discover dozens of product ideas, from reusable bottles to snacks made from food scraps.
What are eco-friendly products?

- Investment in carbon removal projects
- Low-impact shipping materials and methods
- Recycled or reclaimed materials used
- Zero-waste alternative to conventional products

Sustainable technology devices and accessories
Imagine an eco-friendly future powered by innovative gadgets. Technology has advanced to maximize the sun’s rays to power more products with longer battery life.
Developing a product from scratch can take years of R&D, but it’s a great option if you have a promising business idea. A quicker way to get started in this market involves dropshipping or white labeling existing electronic products, like rechargeable battery packs.
Consider also the waste created by technology accessories—every time you upgrade your mobile phone, another case ends up in a landfill. Compostable cases, or other accessories made from recycled or reusable materials, are easy eco-friendly products to make or source, and sell.
1. Compostable audio accessories
Pela Case sells compostable cases for phones and AirPods. The brand’s site boasts that producing these cases generates 30% fewer carbon emissions and uses 34% less water than conventional cases.
2. Solar energy devices
EcoFlow manufactures clean generators, portable solar panels, and power chargers that use renewable energy to keep gadgets running on the go.
3. Sustainable office accessories
Oakywood creates home office tech accessories using natural materials like wood, cork, and wool. For every handcrafted item sold, one tree is planted. Oakywood has contributed more than 87,000 trees.
Build the handcrafted business you’ve always wanted. Get the training, tools and support you need to help you succeed.
💡Tip: Skip the R&D stage by dropshipping, white labeling, or private labeling eco-friendly tech products.
Eco-friendly products for pets
Pet adoption experienced a boom during the pandemic. People had more time to spend at home, and we love to spoil our pets. The pet product industry has boomed since, with more than $150 billion worth of pet products sold each year in the US.
Cater to these proud pet parents while also minimizing waste with eco-friendly product ideas for dogs and cats. Think pet beds made from recycled plastic bottles, dog treats baked with organic ingredients, and leashes and collars sewn from natural biodegradable materials.
4. Vegan pet accessories
Wigglywoos is a pet brand committed to using animal-free materials. That includes hemp- and cork-based vegan leather. All products are made sustainably in small batches at its home studio.
5. Pet toys made from recycled plastic bottles
Harry Barker is known for its designer dog toys and accessories that are also sustainably produced. From recycled yarn toys to leashes made from recycled plastic bottles, Harry Barker blends high-end design with earth-friendly materials to reduce plastic waste.
6. Pet treats made from food waste
Shameless Pets’ treats are made from food rescued from agricultural and production waste streams, diverting thousands of pounds of food from landfills—each treat is made from at least 25% upcycled ingredients. The brand also packages its treats in PCR (post-consumer waste) plastic bags and boasts solar-powered production facilities.
💡Tip: Producing and selling food products (even for pets) involves some upfront work to ensure you meet safety and labeling requirements unique to each region.
Ethical apparel
The fashion industry has long contributed to environmental destruction and unethical production practices. But that’s beginning to change, thanks to a growing number of fashion brands that put the earth—and people—first. A pushback against fast fashion has helped sustainable brands thrive.
If you’re looking to start a fashion business, bake sustainability into your strategy with a thoughtful, transparent supply chain that reduces your carbon footprint. Some eco-friendly product ideas include garments made from organic materials, locally produced fashion lines, vegan alternatives to leather, and versatile, well-made clothes meant to be worn for life.
7. Recycled cotton clothing
Pangaia takes sustainability seriously. The activewear brand considers its impact throughout the entire supply chain of its comfy activewear line, from using innovative materials like recycled cotton and renewable fibers to measuring and reducing its carbon footprint.
8. Small-batch apparel
Uniform Handmade is committed to designing simple, versatile pieces made to last. The clothing brand handcrafts its wardrobe-friendly garments in a small studio, using linen and natural dyes.
Goods for gardens and the great outdoors
With grocery store prices rising and the extra time afforded by skipping the commute, the past few years have seen an uptick in demand for plants and gardening products. Now is the time, as an aspiring entrepreneur, to jump on this trend.
Offer products that help customers realize the balcony container gardens of their dreams. Or supply them with décor items to turn their backyards into a staycation oasis.
Seed-growing kits, planters, handcrafted patio sets, recycled outdoor rugs, birdhouses, and beekeeping supplies are all popular eco-friendly products you can sell online. Also, consider the learning curve required to cultivate a green thumb: Could you sell digital products like gardening courses?
9. DIY gardening supplies
Orta Gardens makes small-scale gardening easy with self-watering planters, seed pods, and microgreen kits. The brand’s blog is packed with helpful advice for waste-free gifting and DIY projects—a smart content marketing strategy to attract its target audience.
💡Tip: If you are selling live plants or soil online, there may be restrictions on shipping across state or country borders. Check with your local government.
10. Clean, portable campfires
Radiate brings the joy of camping everywhere, with portable campfires. These oversized candles are made with recycled wax and multiple paper wicks for clean burning—and the outer tin can be reused for storage.
11. Recycled plastic patio furniture
Yardbird outdoor furniture is the perfect addition to a cozy backyard retreat. It’s also made with recycled ocean plastic, but looks just like natural wicker. The brand keeps a running tally of plastic waste rescued from oceans (430,000 pounds in 2022 alone) and offsets 100% of its carbon emissions.
12. Beehive supplies
BackYardHive sells budding beekeepers everything they need to get started. The brand promotes healthy, bee-centric and chemical-free beekeeping practices, spreading its mission through online courses and beginner beekeeping kits.
Kind foods
Organic. Fair trade. Vegan. Solar-grown. There are plenty of buzzwords in the food industry, as consumers become more conscious of what they’re putting into their bodies.
While it’s a packed market, there’s still room for entrepreneurs to put a new twist on an old favorite and sell food online. Eco-friendly food products might feature items made with natural or organic ingredients, products sourced using fair trade practices, creative alternatives to animal ingredients, and food made from imperfect produce.
13. Sustainable coffee
Higher Grounds Coffee is a certified B Corp company committed to sustainability throughout its supply chain, from partnering with charities to providing living wages through fair trade programs to delivering beans by bike.
14. Repurposed vegetable waste
Pulp Pantry takes perfectly edible veggie pulp (the byproduct of juicing) and combines it with delicious flavors to create a crispy chip. The brand’s aim is to help reduce the 133 billion pounds of food that end up in landfills each year.
Earth-friendly fitness gear
The at-home fitness trend reached a high during pandemic lockdowns, with many replacing their gym memberships with Pelotons, weight sets, and other gear to work out at home. This trend is here to stay, as people enjoy the convenience of staying fit without leaving the house.
There are plenty of ways you can enter this space with innovative products that make a minimal impact on the planet. Think sportswear and yoga gear constructed from recycled or renewable materials: cork yoga mats, plant-based leather running shoes, and gear that’s made to last.
15. Natural activewear
Allbirds produces sustainable products for active living, including sneakers made from natural materials like wool and sugarcane. The brand also works with efficient manufacturers to reduce energy, has been B Corp certified since 2016, and sells pre-loved gear through its ReRun marketplace, ensuring sustainability across the entire life cycle of its products.
16. Sustainable yoga gear
Manduka’s eKO series yoga mats are made from natural, renewable rubber—a 100%-biodegradable product—and non-AZO dyes. The brand also accepts used mats through its LiveON recycling program.
17. Sportswear made from recycled plastic
Five12 is a performance-wear brand committed to using innovative materials. Recycled fishing nets, water bottles, and even windshields have a chance at a second life, transformed into shorts or tops that are UV-protected and moisture-wicking.
💡 Tip: Fitness trends can change quickly. Do adequate market research before you start your business.
Clean beauty and personal care
Clean beauty isn’t a new concept. But growing consumer awareness of what goes in and on their bodies has accelerated this trend without signs of stopping. Even makeup giants like Sephora have dedicated entire collections to products labeled “clean.”
Generally, the term refers to products made from organic and naturally derived ingredients that don’t contain certain substances, like sulfates in shampoo or conditioner. When selling makeup or skin care products online, it’s important to find a niche in the crowded market.
Think eco-friendly products tailored to specific skin types or underrepresented markets, or conduct product research on ingredient trends. What about earth-friendly alternatives to personal care items like conventional toilet paper?
Consider sustainable packaging in the equation, too: Can you offer a zero-waste option like a refillable tube? What about a plastic-free and waterless shampoo bar? Or reusable makeup remover pads and cotton swabs?
18. Refillable beauty products
Fluff sells refillable makeup products in quarterly limited-time drops. “Our compacts are designed hopefully to last a lifetime, or for a long time at the very least,” says founder Erika Geraerts. “So you buy that once and that’s your entry into the brand, because then it’s about refilling and trying different colors and shades.”
19. Personal care without harmful chemicals
Tsuno’s sustainable take on tampons and other personal care products uses bleach-free organic cotton instead of conventional materials. And each box sold helps fund girls’ educations in Sierra Leone and Uganda.
20. Dental care without unnecessary waste
VirtueBrush eliminates plastic waste from hair brushes and disposable toothbrushes by making versions with renewable bamboo and plastic-free packing. The company also offsets its impact through a tree-planting program that has planted more than 62,000 trees.
21. Body goods from nature
Boreal Folk is a brand founded by a couple dedicated to making a minimal impact with their business. They ethically source botanicals and formulate products in their mobile “wilderness lab,” packaging bath and body goods using eco-friendly packaging.
Tip: Similar to manufacturing food, selling makeup and skin care is subject to requirements to ensure safe production and handling. Check with local governments to confirm your facility and packaging are up to code.
Sustainable supplies for home and kitchen
There’s still plenty of room in the home and kitchen spaces for eco-friendly innovations. Product ideas include: biodegradable cutlery, bamboo picnicware, reusable paper towels, silicone or stainless steel straws, reusable sandwich bags, compostable paper plates, waterless laundry detergent strips, countertop composters, and upcycled furniture.
Help your customers make incremental changes to their shopping habits by selling sustainable products that don’t compromise on style and function.
22. A sustainable solution to glassware
Green Glass is a big name in the upcycling space, taking castoff glass bottles and transforming them into gorgeous reusable drinking glasses, like this Flora & Fauna set with etched art.
23. Reusable utensils and straws
FinalStraw took an innovative approach to reusable straws by designing one that’s stainless steel and collapsible, complete with a carrying case with portable cleaning brush.
Gifts that give back
Another approach when starting a sustainable business is deciding whether to support a cause or partner with a charitable organization.
Think critter-friendly goods from brands that give back to animal rescues, donating partial proceeds of furniture sales to affordable housing projects, or selling refillable plastic bottles that support water projects like well building. The more the cause aligns with your products and values, the better.
💡Tip: Setting up an official charity can be a lot of work on top of running your business. If you have no experience in the non-profit sector, partner with an established charity to help put your donations to use.
24. Toys that protect the planet
WWF relies on donations, but also sells “adoptions” that include a plush toy and adoption certificate. Product sales provide another option for its audience to support the environmental nonprofit.
25. Plant-based food supporting animal rescue
Herbivorous Butcher is a vegan meat business that operates a deli, alongside a sister business—a farm sanctuary. Proceeds from some of the brand’s merch (like this piggy pin) support the sanctuary.
26. Clean candles that give back
Frères Branchiaux is a candle-making business started by three young brothers (with the help of Mom). The boys decided from the outset that their business should stand for something, so they chose to support organizations helping unhoused people in their city.
Eco-friendly fashion accessories
Entering the fashion industry can be daunting, with strong competition from low-cost fast fashion and high-end designers. But putting an innovative eco-friendly twist on an existing product can help you carve out a niche.
Ideas for eco-friendly fashion accessories to sell include belts made from materials diverted from landfills, reusable shopping bags, socks that can be sent back for recycling, and upcycled wallets. Is there a product without a sustainable option? Fill that gap in the market.
27. Eco-friendly recycled jewelry
Their Jewelry sells sustainable fine and demi-fine jewelry made from recycled materials. Rather than using its eco-friendly practices as a marketing gimmick, the brand threads sustainability through its entire operation.
“I believe your values will shine through. And if you’re doing something interesting and unique that is true and honest to you, that will resonate more often than not with other people like yourself,” says co-founder Alexander Ludwing.
28. Ethically produced bags
Rice Love works with ethical manufacturing partners to produce pouches and other accessories from reclaimed rice bag burlap. For each product purchased, the brand donates a bag of rice to a family in need.
29. Socks that reduce plastic waste

30. Reusable bags
Notabag is a brand of totes and duffels that focuses on smart product design and long-lasting construction. Its signature tote doubles as a backpack, reducing the need for multiple bags. The brand is a member of 1% for the Planet, donating a portion of revenue to Save the Children.
31. Recycled plastic eyewear
Dick Moby introduced sustainability to an everyday accessory: sunglasses. Its line includes biodegradable models as well as styles made from recycled plastic.
Naturally creative kids’ products
It’s estimated that Americans will spend $41.68 billion on toys and games in 2025—and unfortunately, many of those products will end up in a landfill. Millennial parents are pushing back against plastics, seeking eco-friendly (and kid-safe) alternatives. Appeal to this market by selling toys and crafts with product sustainability in mind.
Think safe craft supplies and plastic-free exploration kits, recycled paper notebooks, and FSC wooden ride-on toys.
32. Environmentally friendly paper products
EcoJot sells notebooks and other paper products that are so beautiful, you’d never know they were made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper. The brand also donates proceeds to a number of charitable organizations.
33. Natural toys
A Toy Garden is a wonderland of natural and creative toys for kids. The site is a one-stop shop for everything from USA-made wooden instruments, to beeswax and soy crayons, to natural face paints.
34. Creative eco-kits
Conscious Craft focuses on creative play and appreciation for nature. Kids’ gardening tools, outdoor exploration kits, and recycled art supplies are all available.
Sustainable travel essentials
You can also find eco-friendly product opportunities in sustainable travel essentials. Items like reusable pouches and bags, toiletries, reusable water bottles, coffee mugs, and packable tote bags are all great options to consider.
35. Reusable travel pouches
Aloha Collection sells lightweight, waterproof travel bags like pouches, totes, and toiletry kits. Aside from offering reusable bags perfect for traveling, the company also donates 5% of profits each year to Hawaiian conservation organizations.
36. Eco-friendly toiletries
My Skin Feels rescues food waste from items like mandarin oranges, olives, oats, and tomatoes. The brand uses nutrient-rich ingredients, transforming what normally would be wasted into effective skin products.
“If no one’s doing anything, I have to do something to prove that it can be done, and if I can do it, everyone else can do it too,” says founder Danielle Close.
You could also consider selling plastic free toiletries, like shampoo or soap bars made from sustainable ingredients.
Circular economy models for eco brands
A circular economy aims to keep items in use for as long as possible, extending their life and reducing the need to produce new items. Adapting a circular economy model is important because it can help slow climate change, protect the environment, and even promote social justice by supporting underserved communities.
Circular economies are already in practice in some regions. Europe introduced the circular economy action plan (CEAP) in 2020, which is part of the European Green Deal.
Ecommerce brands can support more sustainable consumption and a circular economy in many different ways. Some ideas include:
- Using refillable product packaging for items like makeup, skin care, or food
- Buying back used items like clothing and reselling them on your site
- Encouraging customers to reuse packaging in creative ways
- Selling used, vintage, and antique items
- Refurbishing or repairing damaged or out-of-style items to give them a new life
Beyond eco-friendly products: how to build a zero-waste store
Beyond sourcing and selling sustainable products, building a zero-waste ecommerce business is the ultimate goal.
Key elements of a zero-waste store include:
- Carbon-neutral shipping. Offer customers have the option to pay to offset an order’s carbon footprint. Consider options like Shopify Planet or EcoCart from the Shopify App Store.
- Refillable product packaging. Give customers the option––especially if you offer a loyalty program––to purchase products that are refillable. Shoppers can reuse original packaging, reducing waste.
- Sustainable packaging. Ship orders in sustainable packaging like biodegradable mailers, eliminate double boxes for shoes, or use upcycled cushioning for breakables.
- B Corp certification. B Corporations meet high standards of social and environmental impact.
If you want to go the extra mile, consider selling fair trade products or getting your products certified with the applicable Greener Products certifications from the EPA.
Keep in mind that if you’re shipping internationally or operating in highly regulated markets, you’ll need to adhere to any relevant regulations. These might include single-use plastic bans or following guidelines set by the EU Green Deal.
How to market eco-friendly products effectively
Understanding your target audience
Before you can successfully market your eco-friendly product, you need to understand who you’re talking to. Your audience isn’t just anyone who wants to “go green”; it’s more specific than that. Are they young professionals who care about reducing waste? Parents looking for non-toxic products for their kids? Or outdoor enthusiasts committed to protecting the environment?
Knowing your audience’s motivations, values, and lifestyle choices is key to crafting a message that resonates. Do your research—whether it’s through surveys, customer feedback, or social listening—to understand what drives their purchasing decisions.
Utilizing social media for promotion
Social media is a hotbed for conversations about sustainability, making it a great place to promote your eco-friendly products.
Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest are great for visually showcasing your products in an appealing, authentic way. You can also share behind-the-scenes stories of your production process, highlight your products’ environmental benefits, and even get creative with how-tos and tutorials.
Engagement is key on social media—don’t just post and ghost. Respond to comments, ask for feedback, and create posts that encourage interaction, like polls or Q&A sessions.
Use relevant hashtags like #EcoFriendly, #SustainableLiving, or ones unique to your niche to increase discoverability and help eco-conscious consumers find you.
The #EcoFriendly hashtag on TikTok has tons of videos showing the benefits of sustainable products, how-tos, and product guides.
Creating compelling eco-friendly messaging
Crafting a compelling message goes beyond saying, “Our product is eco-friendly.” You need to tell a story that connects with your audience on a deeper level. Focus on the benefits your product offers, not just for the planet, but for the consumer too. Is it healthier, longer-lasting, or made from innovative materials?
Be clear and honest in your messaging and product descriptions—today’s consumers are savvy and can spot greenwashing (making misleading claims about sustainability) from a mile away. Highlight specifics: Do you use 100% recycled materials? Are your products cruelty-free?
Leveraging influencer partnerships
Partnering with influencers who align with your brand values can be a game-changer for introducing your product to a wider, yet still relevant, audience. The key is to choose influencers who are genuinely passionate about sustainability—those whose followers already trust their recommendations.
Micro-influencers, in particular, can be highly effective. They tend to have niche audiences with higher engagement rates, and their followers are likely to share similar values. Authenticity is everything here—an influencer’s recommendation should feel like a natural fit rather than a sales pitch.
Highlighting certifications and eco-labels
Certifications and eco-labels are powerful trust signals for consumers, so don’t be shy about flaunting them. Labels like Fair Trade, USDA Organic, and Energy Star show that your product meets recognized sustainability standards and provide buyers confidence about their purchase.
Make sure these certifications are prominently featured in your marketing—whether on your website, packaging, or social media. And don’t stop at just showing the logos. Take the time to explain what each certification means and why it matters. Educating your audience builds credibility and further differentiates your product from competitors who make vague or unsupported claims.
Sell in-demand sustainable products with Shopify
The demand for sustainable products is skyrocketing, and businesses without a strong sustainability strategy are being left behind. Consumers are more eco-conscious than ever, looking for brands that align with their values. That’s where you come in. With the rise of innovation in sustainable products, there’s never been a better time to start your own eco-friendly business—and Shopify makes it easier to do just that.
Whether you’re selling reusable products, ethically sourced materials, or items made from recycled materials, your brand has the power to make a positive environmental impact from day one. From the products you choose to sell, to the practices throughout your supply chain, you can build a business that’s both profitable and planet-friendly.
