EcoRoots

What's in the box: There is no fixed box; you build a bundle or kit from items such as shampoo and conditioner bars, soaps, laundry detergent, floss refills, shaving gear or mini skincare products.

EcoRoots is closer to a zero waste online shop than a classic subscription box. It sells plastic-free personal care and household goods, grouped mainly into bundles and kits you put together yourself. These include shampoo and conditioner bar bundles, soap bundles, a laundry detergent duo, a refillable vegan floss set, a shaving kit and a mini skincare kit. The site does not clearly offer a recurring monthly box, so if you want automatic deliveries, check the product pages or contact the company before ordering. The range covers bath and beauty, haircare, and home and kitchen, including cleaning supplies and a natural deodorant free of baking soda and aluminum. Many items are described as vegan, and the company says it always ships plastic-free with compostable or recyclable materials. The site advertises 20% off haircare and soap bundles, 30% off an essentials kit, and free shipping on US orders over $50. The main appeal is having one place to swap everyday bathroom and kitchen items for lower waste versions. The tradeoff is that you pick everything yourself, so there is little discovery or surprise, and the catalog is fairly small.
