Eco-friendly subscription boxes are here to help us care for the planet. Eco brands do all the hard work of sourcing and curating beauty products, homeware, and much more to kickstart or enhance a zero-waste, sustainable lifestyle. Adjusting the products that we use in our daily routines needn't be daunting; small changes – like switching from plastic kitchen sponges to degradable ones – make a huge difference over a lifetime.

Subscribing to (or gifting!) a box from one of these fantastic eco-conscious brands is an effortless way to switch plastic products for sustainable alternatives. Boxes often feature products of a higher value than the cost of the subscription, giving you fantastic value for money. In a bid to tackle climate change, many of the companies listed below use profits to plant trees and fund climate-positive initiatives. Here's a list of some of the best eco-friendly subscription boxes available in the UK.
