Mindfully Curated Subscription Boxes
Best Sustainable Subscription Boxes
Subscription boxes offer a range of benefits, including convenience, the opportunity to discover new products, personalization, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, expert curation, and easy gift-giving options for occasions like Mothers' Day.
1. Let’s Go Eco
Passion is what you will find at Let’s Go Eco. This company loves the environment and wants to make it last for generations. They bring you the best eco-conscious products in one subscription box! All the items are selected based on their commitment to sustainability, low waste, minimal to no plastic, and ethical practices.
You can also shop for eco-friendly items from their site if a subscription box isn’t for you or if you want to buy more of the products you have received in the box.
The box is thoughtfully packaged, as all the orders come with carbon-free shipping and are low waste and minimal plastic. The boxes are ordered seasonally (every three months) and are filled with items that align with the season, so you will love everything you get.
Also, I love the fact that you can purchase past boxes. Look at the Spring 2023 box. It's well worth it! Let's Go Eco was voted the best eco-friendly box of 2022.
Boxes are worth $150-$200 and offer 30-60% savings off regular retail prices. Use code CANDICE10 to save 10% off your first-time purchase.

2. The Good Lane
We love homegrown companies, so it’s no wonder The Good Lane made the list! Based out of Cochrane, Alberta, Canada, this new company will quickly become your next favorite subscription box.
Born from a simple idea in 2020 to support small businesses that focus on eco-friendly materials, Brenna, the founder, has created an earth-friendly company that gives back and supports small businesses that prioritize people and the planet.
On The Good Lane, you'll find products from companies that are fair trade, B-corp certified, and more — from home goods and accessories like jewelry, hair ties, tote bags, and scarves to personal wellness items like baths salts and reusable facial pads to name a few.
Want to shop for items of a specific value? You can select one of their many categories and find individual items featured in boxes for purchase. Use code THEECOHUB for 10% off.

3. Package Free Shop
This company provides the most sustainable versions of products that are used in our daily lives. The Package Free Shop features either zero or minimal packaging products so they can eliminate single-use plastic from everyday life. Everything sold here is created to encourage daily changes and support our planet.
Everything is sourced from brands committed to real change in our environment, and all the brands they use must adhere to their Package Free standard. All the products can be reused, refilled, composted, or recycled and shipped to you 100% plastic free.
Their sustainable box subscription, mailed out monthly, works differently than a traditional subscription box. You can choose whatever products you want, the frequency, and how many items you want. This box makes the perfect zero-waste gift for someone just starting their eco journey.
You will save 15% off each order; you can set it and forget it with auto-ship. If you want to add or remove items from your subscription, you go to your preferences and adjust the order. You can also skip orders if you don’t need anything.

4. Conscious Step
Do you have old socks lying about? It might be time to replace them!
Conscious Step is on a mission to embrace slow fashion and give you a chance to buy better long-lasting clothing. They sell sustainably made socks; you can get this in a subscription! One of the best parts about this company is that they have given back over $800,000 to non-profit partners.
The socks sold here are organic, Fair Trade-certified cotton, and vegan-certified; the paper tags and boxes are made from recycled materials, so their impact is incredibly low. They are also certified with GOTS, 1% for the planet, and OEKO-Tex.
When you subscribe to Conscious Step, you get a preselected style of sock aligned with the highlighted cause each month. However, monthly subscriptions can choose the style they receive by managing their subscription.
The subscription plan can come every month for a 6- or 12-month period and start at $78 (current pricing).

5. Life Without Plastic
Founded in 2006, Life Without Plastic aims to do exactly what its name says by producing non-plastic products and raising awareness about the environmental issues we face caused by fossil-fuel-derived plastics.
Owners Jay and Chantal have always had the ambition of reducing plastic in the world, the creation of their company came from searching for an alternative to plastic baby bottles, and when they could only find one company that could do that but only in bulk, they knew they had to do something about the gap in the market.
The eco subscription box is filled with high-quality plastic-free items that range from personal care to home goods, be on the lookout because some items are exclusives, and you’ll be among the first to try them!
The boxes come in one-time purchases or seasonally. You can customize each box but make sure you do this before the payment for your box comes out (every three months).

6. Try The World
The concept of this box is to bring other countries right to your home. Try The World offers a box of chef-curated international foods with recipes and cultural items like stories to give you the best cultural experience.
The items in the box are sourced from the originating country, and the brand makes the best effort to only work with small and family-owned companies. Using sustainable practices, they want to make the boxes as authentic as possible.
You can choose from two types of boxes, world countries or snacks, each with the option of shipping monthly, quarterly, bi-annually, or yearly.
You can also choose to gift a box to a loved one! A great idea for a holiday gift, or an upcoming birthday. The box starts at $29 for snacks and $49 for countries.

7. Wearwell
Founded by two friends over dinner, Wearwell is on a mission to change how we shop so that we can change how our clothing is made. Wearwell only works with brands with workers’ rights and the environment in mind. They carefully select brands that bear certifications like Fair Trade, GOTS Certified, OEKO-TEX standard 100, and are a B-corp.
This company embodies its values, ensures its partners are size inclusive, cares about racial and social justice, and maintains ethical and sustainable sourcing.
What Wearwell does differently is that they don’t necessarily offer you a box but a subscription to the best and most sustainable fashion, jewelry, accessories, and home brands.
They have a unique platform and offer three types of memberships, non-member, which only gives you access to ethical and sustainable brands, and monthly gives you a lot more perks like 10% off all purchases and rewards for shopping. And the annual gives you all the monthly benefits plus first access to new products and $70 in perks.

Every single piece is unique and stunning. Lofttan is a love project for founder April Mitchell-Boudreau.

Nomadik offers subscription boxes for outdoor camping enthusiasts.

“Sitti” [Si'-TEE], which means “my grandma” in Arabic, is a social enterprise that aims to empower and restore hope to refugee communities through the making of olive oil soap and an expanded line of consciously crafted lifestyle products inspired by the traditions of the community.
Sitti is a certified women-owned and purpose-driven brand committed to the self-reliance of refugee and displaced communities providing long-term income-generating opportunities and skill development training empowered by an inclusive global economy.
Sitti was co-founded in 2014 by local Toronto resident Noora Sharrab, CEO of Sitti and co-founder and the Middle East regional director of Hopes for Women in Education, an international NGO, and American Jacqueline Sofia, CCO/CIO of Sitti. The two co-founders partnered with several skilled female artisans in the Jerash Refugee Camp community in Jordan to create Sitti.
The Sitti product line began with a signature square bar of handmade, cold-pressed olive oil soap and has since grown to 21+ popular lifestyle products, including curated products through partnerships with mission-driven brand names.
Their subscription boxes have different themes, from women-owned brands to World Refugee Day to farm-to-face products. Below is what's included in the Woman-Owned box.

Why consider eco-friendly and sustainable subscription boxes?
I am not a huge shopper, but I like to browse occasionally, and I have not done that in over a year! Subscription boxes can be a practical way to deliver something fun to your door safely.
Eco-friendly subscription boxes also make great gifts. Let's be honest: who doesn't love getting mail and opening a treasure box?
These small businesses provide useful products you might not have been exposed to before. Each of them is curated specifically based on your needs and lifestyle. I love that! I chose a wide range of boxes, so I hope you can find something you love.
A subscription service that sends its boxes directly to the consumer cuts out the middleman, eliminates an entire transport stage, and cuts back on the resources needed to stock something in a storefront location.
If you’re having items shipped in bulk, you’re also saving the gas you might use on repeated shopping trips and the materials needed to package items for non-bulk sales in the store.
