In honor of Earth Day tomorrow, I thought I would help entrepreneurs and other small businesses discover four online marketplaces for eco-friendly products. This is actually a post of mine from a few years back that I have just updated
Younger generations prefer eco-friendly products. A Forbes report showed that 62 percent of Gen Zs prefer to buy from sustainable brands. It also indicated that 54 percent of Gen Zs and 50 percent of Millennials even stated that they are willing to pay more for sustainable products.
The Ultimate Green Store
The Ultimate Green Store sells pretty much every type of organic and green product. From baby and kids products to home goods and beauty products, they currently feature hundreds of brands, both well known eco brands and indie brands. If you are an interested, this is a wholesale opportunity, not one where you set up a shop or listings. If you are interested in having them sell your products, contact them at vendorinquiries@theultimategreenstore.com.
Leaf’d
Leaf’d runs the gambit from kids to clothing to pets to food and drink, and of course beauty products. Plus, for their sellers, they offer no monthly fees and no listing fees, just a commission fee on the sale (which they do not disclose until you are approved). There are a few restrictions. Currently, they only accept US or Canadian sellers, and they have a checklist of standards your company and products have to adhere to in order to be accepted as a vendor.
Ecorigem
Ecorigem sells the whole range of eco-friendly products. You can even sell digital downloads. Their one caveat seems to be that sellers must always use eco-friendly packing and reduced use of plastic. They charge sellers a commission fee of 6.5% on each sale, with no monthly fees or listing fees.
Veo
Veo is based in the UK, and like the other sites, they offer fashion, food & drink, health & beauty and home products in the green and organic categories, as well as crafts, gifts, garden – you name it. You can fulfill orders yourself or use their fulfillment services, but they do charge a 15% commission, with no listing or joining fees. For that 15%, they market your products to shoppers through paid search, outreach, blog, video, publicity, SEO and social media.
Earth Love
Not a marketplace, but rather a monthly subscription box so I thought it was worth adding. They curate products for categories such as food, wellness, bath & spa, home decor, aromatherapy, fashion, outdoor, art, and more. They also have a strict set of guidelines that your products must conform to. If you are interested in having one of your products included in their boxes, email them at hello@earthlove.co.
