Eco Green Living: Breaking the Plastic Habit at Home
Every meal we prepare, every sandwich we wrap, every bag of leftovers we store comes with a hidden cost: single-use plastic.
It’s in our kitchens, our bins, and sadly, now even in our bodies. Plastic lingers for centuries, breaking down into microplastics that have been found in human blood, breast milk, and even placentas. Yet for too long, households were given no real choice — compromise with plastic, or settle for “biodegradable” alternatives that still behave like waste.
At Eco Green Living, we believe families deserve better. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to create plant-based, fully compostable alternatives that perform just like the products you rely on every day — without the environmental debt.
From cling film and storage bags to bin liners, freezer bags, and food caddy liners, our essentials make eco-living easy, safe, and practical.
From Communities to Kitchens
Our journey didn’t start in a boardroom. It started in communities.
Through our work with UK councils at Eco Green Communities, residents told us they wanted real change. They asked for compostable alternatives, plastic-free everyday essentials, and more choice at checkout.
We listened — and our very first product launch was powered by that demand. Today, community feedback still drives our innovation, helping us design products that solve everyday challenges without creating new ones.
Why Compostable Matters
Unlike “biodegradable” items that often just break down into smaller pieces of plastic, our products are certified compostable. That means they decompose safely in home or industrial composting, returning to the soil as nutrients instead of leaving behind toxins or microplastics.
This is true circularity:
-
Food is prepared and enjoyed.
-
Scraps and packaging go into compost.
-
The compost nourishes soil and gardens.
-
The cycle continues.
It’s a system where nothing is wasted — and everything has a purpose.
Why This Shift Is Urgent
-
Health & Safety: Microplastics are no longer just an environmental issue — they’re a health issue. Keeping plastic out of the kitchen helps keep it out of our food chain.
-
Choice & Trust: More shoppers want transparency. That’s why we provide clear certification and disposal guidance, so you know exactly what you’re buying.
-
Climate & Community Impact: When food waste goes to landfill wrapped in plastic, it releases methane and pollution. Composting both food and its packaging reduces emissions and turns waste into a valuable resource for community gardens and soils.
Did you know UK households throw away 6.4 million tonnes of edible food annually — much of it wrapped in plastic? Even shifting a fraction of this waste to compostable packaging could significantly cut landfill costs, reduce pollution, and empower families to make a meaningful difference right from their kitchens.
Why Eco Green Living Is Different
We’re not just “an eco alternative.” We’re pioneering a new category.
While cleaning aisles are full of green options, the food prep and waste aisle is still dominated by plastic. We’re changing that.
-
Our products are already trusted in 18 countries, stocked by major retailers, and supplied to local councils.
-
We offer proven, certified compostable solutions that perform as well as (or better than) plastic.
-
We price our range to make sustainable swaps affordable for every household.
Eco Green Living closes the gap between sustainable food and sustainable food prep. Because if what we cook is planet-friendly but the wrap, bag, or bin liner is plastic, the system is still broken.
A Small Switch With a Big Impact
We believe sustainable living shouldn’t feel like a burden. It should feel natural, affordable, and practical.
That’s why we design compostable products that fit into busy households — from eco-conscious millennials to family homes with little ones. Every compostable bag, every refill, every swap you make helps reduce plastic waste and protect the planet for future generations.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What’s the difference between compostable and biodegradable?
Biodegradable products can still leave behind microplastics or toxins, while compostable products break down fully into natural elements that enrich the soil. All Eco Green Living products are certified compostable, giving you peace of mind.
2. Can I compost Eco Green Living products at home?
Yes, many of our products can be composted at home, especially food bags and liners. For larger items or if you don’t have a home compost, they can also be processed in industrial composting facilities.
3. Are compostable products as strong as plastic?
Absolutely. Our compostable bin liners and freezer bags are designed to be durable and leak-resistant, so you don’t have to compromise on performance.
4. Why should I switch to compostable alternatives?
Plastic never really goes away — it breaks into microplastics that pollute our soil, oceans, and even our food. Compostable products are a safer, circular alternative that helps protect your family and the planet.
5. Where can I buy Eco Green Living products?
You can shop our full range directly on our website, or through trusted retailers like Ocado, QVC, Oddbox, and Natural Collection.
