Subscription services are so convenient and perfect for busy people. I’ve found they are also ideal for our current situation, as delivery is contact-free, straight to your doorstep. But what about eco-friendly subscriptions? Here are my top 5 eco-friendly deliveries.
These eco-friendly delivery services are flexible, so you can order when you need a more, or on a regular basis. They are all great value, and some could even save you money as you help protect our environment – a win/win situation!
Bower Eco-Friendly Dishwasher Subscripton
Bower Eco Dishwasher Tablets come in an FSC recycled cardboard box, which can of course then be recycled again. These eco dishwasher tablets are plastic waste free, and have a water soluble film, so you just pop them straight into your dishwasher drawer.
Eco Dishwasher Tablets from Bower Collective are made using 87% naturally derived ingredients, which are ethically sourced and environmentally responsible. They have a faint lemon scent, which I prefer to heavily scented products, and I can’t smell it at all when I open the dishwasher drawer after a cycle. They are vegan and carbon neutral, and Bower Collective is a UK company with B Corp certification.
Milk Subscription
Your local milkman or woman is the most traditional eco-friendly subscription service. We’ve been getting our milk delivered in reusable, recyclable glass milk bottles for over a year now and will never go back to buying in plastic cartons.
We use Milk & More for our milk delivery, as we don’t have a local milkman or woman. I think they are nationwide and we really rate their service.

Or why not try a powdered oat milk subscription from Overherd?
Milk & More also deliver a range of dairy items, baked goods, pantry supplies and fresh fruit and veg. Over the last few months we have had bread, cheese, and butter from them, which has saved us having to go out to buy them.

Fruit and Veg Box Eco-Friendly Subscription
We’d be lost without our plastic-free fruit and veg delivery, from our local green grocers. It’s always fun seeing what they’ve included this week, and it definitely means we are eating more fruit and veg.
I have seen lots of people on social media saying their local green grocers are delivering. So if you’re interested in a veg box delivery, it’s worth getting in contact with your local greengrocer. It’s great to be able to shop locally and support small businesses at this difficult time, and have plenty of fresh produce to keep us healthy.
If not, I recommend getting an organic fruit and veg box from Abel & Cole.
Who Gives a Crap Toilet Roll Subscription
We’ve been using plastic-free Who Gives a Crap Eco-Friendly Toilet Paper subscription on and off for a year or so now.
They sell 100% recycled paper toilet roll, and premium bamboo toilet paper, delivered in cardboard boxes. Each toilet roll comes wrapped in paper, which can be reused or recycled. I did think it was a bit strange to wrap each one individually, as that seems wasteful. But they say it’s to keep the rolls clean and dry during transit.
We’re impressed with the quality of the toilet paper, both 100% recycled paper and bamboo versions. It costs about the same, or even less than normal toilet roll from a supermarket, minus any single use plastic, because each roll is much more densely packed. They are a B Corp Certified company, and don’t use any inks, dyes or scents in their toilet paper.
If you’re interested in more ethical, plastic free toilet paper, check out my comparison between Who Gives a Crap, and Naked Sprout, vs regular supermarket recycled toilet roll here.
The toilet rolls come in enormous boxes of 48 or 96 rolls, so storage can be an issue. We split a box with my brother so it’s easier to store. We had by chance made an order the week before the great toilet roll shortage and have plenty. I’ve never been so pleased to have toilet roll!
Natural Beauty Box Subscription
All of my other eco-friendly subscriptions have been fairly functional. But this eco-friendly beauty subscription is a real treat.
UPDATE: Love Lila has ceased trading, which is really sad. I haven’t bought a new beauty subscription box but I do think this one from The Natural Beauty Box looks nice, if you want to treat yourself.
I’ve discovered my favourite natural beauty brands though beauty subscriptions, including Madara, Laidbare and Inika.
I hope you’ve found my guide to the top 5 eco-friendly subscriptions useful. Please Pin it for later and to share with your followers.
