Top 10 Sustainable Products To Sell in 2025: Green Consumerism Takes Center Stage

Green consumerism has never been so prolific.

You can't stroll down the high street or scroll through Facebook without seeing eco-friendly products.

They're everywhere.

So, it's time ecommerce sellers stepped up to the plate and met the demand for ethical products.

The stats speak for themselves; environmental concerns influence the purchasing decisions of as many as half of online shoppers.

Can you blame them? Consumers are living in an age where info has never been more accessible. Therefore, brands, including online stores, have to withstand a higher level of sustainability, and incorporate sustainable business practices and products-- which can only be a good thing.

From selling fairtrade goodies to retailing products made from eco-friendly materials, you're helping the world become a better place. Plus, when marketed well, you'll make a pretty penny or two. What's not to love about that?

So, with all that in mind, here are ten sustainable products to start selling on your ecommerce store. Let's dive in!

1. Copper Water Bottle

If you haven’t heard already, according to Ayurvedic practice, drinking water from a copper vessel has numerous health benefits. Allegedly, doing this can balance all three doshas in your body (Vata, Kapha, and Pitta).

How? By positively charging the water.

To feel the benefits, you’ll need to let the water sit in the copper container for at least eight hours. 

What are the perks?

Can kill bacteria. Copper has a sterilizing effect on the water, so by consuming it, you’re more likely to destroy nasty bacteria inside of your body and detox your system. That’s in addition to it being good for the brain, thyroid gland, and there’s some suggestion it also helps to relieve the aches and pains of arthritis. 

Female artisans located in rural India make the bottles in the picture above. By employing these women, Whirlpool hopes to empower them so that they can make a better life for both themselves and their families.

2. Pineapple Prints

Pineapple prints are bigger and better than ever before. Don’t just take our word for it; check out the screenshot below:

So, we’re confident these towels will sell like hotcakes. Not to mention, they’re larger, lighter, and more absorbent, than traditional towels, making them fabulous for the beach.

Interestingly, this type of towel, also known as a peshtemals or hammam towel, were traditionally used while taking a trip to the Turkish baths. This practice is centuries-long!

The sample in the above picture is made out of 100% Turkish cotton, and every product is lovingly hand-loomed by Turkish artisans residing in Babadağ, a small mountain village in southwest Turkey. 

They pride themselves on keeping the looming tradition alive. Plus, they only use eco- friendly, 100% natural fibers like cotton and bamboo. From start to finish, the entire process is done in house. 

3. Ethical Skincare

Ethical skincare is huge right now. Again, the stats don't lie. As many as 50% of consumers claim to buy all-natural beauty products, and a further 8% say they want to. This is why kits like the one below do so well!

This travel kit includes:

• A botanical skin conditioner
• Moroccan rosewater toner
• Black soap foaming facial cleanser.
  

You could easily target holidaymakers with this package. People love to pamper themselves while on vacation, so be sure to jump on that bandwagon.

4. Reusable Straws

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably witnessed the recent backlash against plastic straws. And for a good reason, they're terrible for the environment! A lot of restaurants and bars refuse to stock them all together!

So, you'll be pleased to hear; there's a viable and practical alternative. The straws in this picture are made out of eco-friendly materials like glass. Shoppers can use these straws again and again, without worrying about endangering marine life and polluting the oceans.

5. Reusable Bags

Speaking of plastic-filled oceans, it's not just reusable straws that have got people talking. Consumers are looking to reduce plastic consumption in all areas of their life.

When you consider an estimated one million birds and 100,000 turtles perish each year as a result of eating plastic, it's no wonder people want to make a change. Marine animals often confuse plastic bags for nutritious sea life like jellyfish. Then once swallowed, the plastic clogs their digestive tract and the poor creature starves to death. Not to mention, the countless other sea animals that drown by getting tangled in plastic bags.

As such, reusable products (of all kinds) have a massive role to play in combatting this issue. For instance, reusable shopping bags. People can't get enough of them!

As you can see from Google Trends…

Take this product as an example:

‘Be Still’ Bible Verse Tote Bag

The bible verse on this bag is simply beautiful. You could easily target Christians in your Facebook ads with a product like this. When it comes to positioning your sales copy, here are a few slants you could try:

• The perfect bag for bible study gear
• Ideal for attending a farmers market
• A cute gift for a friend
• A more meaningful gym or beach bag.
• A thoughtful wedding favor or welcome bag
  

As you can see, there are several ways you could market this product!

But best of all, it's made out of 100% organic cotton and water-based inks to ensure eco-friendliness. Supported fairtrade artisans lovingly handcraft all these totes. Also, it's as pretty as it is practical because it's machine washable (cold water on a delicate cycle)

6. Finger Puppets

Finger puppets have been used for years to entertain and teach children because they work wonders for developing both their language and communication skills. So, be sure to market these adorable products to parents and teachers. 

Not to mention, the handmade crochet finger puppets (bee, love bug, lion, and cat), pictured above, are made out of organic cotton yarn and stuffed with hypoallergenic polyfill. You'll also be pleased to hear; they conform to toy safety CE standards. 

Plus, by selling these puppets, you'll help provide jobs that pay a living wage to mothers in Istanbul. Many of whom are refugees from Syria. They work extremely hard to provide for their families all while rebuilding their lives in Turkey.

7. Beard Balm

Hipster-style beards first came onto the scene in 2011, and they've yet to make an exit. So, it's hardly surprising we've seen the popularity of beard balm skyrocket in recent years.

We can't get enough of sandalwood beard balm by Buck Ridge Soap Company. Made using all-natural sandalwood-scented essential oil, the fragrance is divine.

This formula also comprises of premium beeswax, organic sunflower oil, and shea butter. When all this natural goodness comes together, it creates the perfect recipe for moisturizing and conditioning itchy beards and ingrown hairs.

This balm wasn't tested on animals, and it's 100% vegan-friendly.

9. Reusable Coffee Filters

Yes, we've mentioned it already. But, when it comes to sustainable consumerism, reusable products are an absolute must.

This is why reusable coffee filters have remained popular with online shoppers. Not only are these cheaper for customers (in the long run), but they're also better for the environment in comparison to disposable filters.

Plus, coffee experts claim that metal filters produce a stronger, darker cup of joe. These usually contain more oils from the bean -- delicious!

10. Artisanal Soaps

Why do people love handmade soaps? Well, they usually only contain natural ingredients like essential oils, glycerin, and shea butter. On the whole, these products tend to be better for our skin, especially if you suffer from a dry or sensitive complexion.

Customers can be confident they're not applying irritating and potentially harmful preservatives, synthetic fragrances, and chemical compounds, into their skin.

Charcoal Mint Soap Bar

Eco-friendly soap has never been better, and this bar's an excellent example. It's a stunning color of seafoam green and contains activated charcoal and pretty white sand swirls. Beautifully scented with spearmint and eucalyptus-flavored essential oils -- could you think of anything more decadent?

Best of all, each soap's individually made, cut, and packaged in elegant artisanal paper. It's 100% vegan-friendly, which means no animal products were used in the creation of this soap, and (it almost goes without saying), no animals were tested on.

FAQ

1. What are the most popular Christmas products for e-commerce?

The most popular Christmas products in the world of e-commerce include:

• Toys, games, and puzzles
• Christmas cards, wrapping paper, and gift bags
• Christmas trees, ornaments, and fairy lights
• Christmas-themed decor, stockings, and kitchen and tableware
• Christmas fashion such as jumpers, pyjamas, and slippers

Other popular items that consistently trend and sell well during the Christmas period are typical festive giftware items. Items like jewelry, mugs, blankets, and candles are all extremely popular in ecommerce ahead of the festivities.

2. How to find niche products that sell well during the holiday season?

If you’re looking to find products that relate to your dropshipping niche to boost sales during the holiday season, think outside of the box! If your chosen niche is fashion, offering a collection of festive clothing won’t shock your existing customer base. But remember to try to source sustainable pieces that are in keeping with your dedication to the sustainability cause!

And for dropshipping stores specialising in packaging, sustainable Christmas cards, gift bags, and wrapping paper are a great addition. Look at the most popular products and figure out a way that you can link the products to your chosen niche. However tangible the link may be, if it’s there, you won’t risk alienating your existing customers by extending your catalogue to include holiday essentials.

If you need a little more help in your search, Spocket can help! Explore the best-selling dropshipping products in each and every niche with a few quick clicks on the platform.

3. Are there any seasonal product trends for Christmas?

Seasonal product trends come hand in hand with the lead up to Christmas. All of the popular Christmas products outlined above are seasonal to an extent. Let’s face it, when else are you going to purchase Christmas cards and Christmas tree decorations other than in the lead up to the holidays?

Christmas focuses on seasonal products almost entirely. So, as a dropshipper, you should be aware that you can’t rely on this seasonal offering for year-round sales. With this in mind, choose Christmas products that relate to an alternative niche if launching your dropshipping store during the holiday period. And if you’re going with the sustainability niche, do your due diligence before adding any seasonal lines to your catalogue. You want your products to be on-brand whether or not they’re seasonal after all!

4. Should I focus on physical or digital products for Christmas sales?

Whether you should focus on physical or digital products during the Christmas sales depends entirely on your target audience and current product offerings. 

If you primarily (or exclusively) dropship physical products, it would baffle your customers were you to suddenly launch a line of digital products for Christmas. Not to mention that your site will already have been optimised for physical products.

And on the other side of the coin, if your audience is tech-savvy and your product collection is full of gadgets and tech items, digital Christmas products make a lot of sense. 

5. What are some unique Christmas gift ideas for online stores?

If you’re looking for unique Christmas gift ideas to offer your customer through your online dropshipping store during the holidays you’re in luck! Here are fifteen of the most quirky and trending products of the moment:

1. Personalized neon signs
2. Belt bags
3. Men’s head shavers
4. Smartphone screen magnifiers
5. Cross-body hydration bags
