5 Growing Eco-Friendly Brands in 2026

With climate and the future of our planet high on everyone’s agenda, there has never been a more important time for companies to take eco-friendly approaches to products and production, and for consumers to support these enterprises through our purchases.

While more businesses are changing their approach, many are also launching with sustainability at the very heart of what they do.

Here are five growing eco-friendly brands to be on the lookout for.

Biodegradable coffee pods

Britain is increasingly a nation of coffee-lovers, with many of us indulging in a home coffee machine so we can enjoy a frothy latte or morning Espresso from the comfort of our kitchens. But the pods themselves aren’t eco-friendly, or at least they weren’t until Halo came along. Halo produces biodegradable coffee pods which are compatible with Nespresso machines, allowing you to enjoy a home-brewed coffee, guilt-free. The pod naturally composts within four weeks and the outer packaging is fully recyclable.

Canned water

How many times have you been out and about, but forgotten your refillable water bottle and so have been forced to quench your thirst with a single-use plastic bottle of water from the nearest shop? However well-meaning we are with our refillable bottles, whether at the office or on a day out, we all forget from time to time. This is where CanO Water comes in handy. They realise that in our hectic lives, we are bound to forget every now and then, and so offer a great, fully recyclable canned alternative to a plastic bottle.

Snackable crickets

I don’t like crickets, oh no…I love them! Well, this could take a little convincing for the general population, but eco-friendly company Crické is producing snackable meat alternatives in the form of, you guessed it, crickets! The insects contain more protein than beef, a greater amount of iron than Popeye’s favourite spinach, and more calcium than milk. On top of that, they need less water and space than cows and produce just 1% of the greenhouse gases. And now you can munch on them in the form of crackers and tortilla chips – winner!

Beeswax food wrappers

Not only are companies looking to be more eco-friendly and sustainable in producing the food we eat, but also in how it’s packaged. Bee Bee Wraps make natural, planet-friendly packaging to wrap your everyday food in, from sandwiches to veggie sticks. They are reusable and allow food to breathe better than plastic, therefore giving it a longer-lasting freshness, reducing food waste too.

Eco-friendly dinnerware and cutlery

Once you’ve made, packed and wrapped your lunch, you now need something to eat it with. Bambu aren’t a new company, but their sustainable cutlery and dinnerware is growing in popularity. With a range of options for cooking, dining and eating on the go, they really do have all bases covered with their gorgeous natural bamboo products. They source local produce and use a team of local weavers, woodworkers and stitchers to handcraft their goods, which are reusable and compostable.
