Sustainability leads buying decisions. Shopify India shows over 35 eco-friendly items that will drive the 2026 market. This guide helps entrepreneurs launch or grow brands that serve today’s green shoppers.

Why Eco-Friendly Products Matter in 2026

Recent surveys show a clear change in choices:

• 64% of consumers now seek sustainability when they shop.
• 80% are willing to pay a premium—up to 9.7% more—if products are local, eco-friendly, and low in carbon.

Selling eco products is a good ethical move and a strong business play as climate issues grow.

Defining Eco-Friendly Products

Eco-friendly products must meet clear rules. They must:

• Provide fair wages and respect workers.
• Cut waste and use sustainable or recycled materials.
• Lower the carbon footprint through green production, packaging, and shipping.
• Earn certifications like B Corp or other trusted marks.
• Rely on natural, organic, and plant-based ingredients.
• Commit to zero-waste, reuse, or even support charitable causes.

Each rule links closely with a product’s trusted nature.

Categories of Eco-Friendly Products to Consider

Shopify groups 36 top products in clear areas. This grouping helps brands pick a niche:

1. Sustainable Technology Devices & Accessories

• Examples: Compostable phone cases (Pela), solar generators (EcoFlow), and office gear made with wood and cork (Oakywood).
• Business Tip: Use dropshipping or white-labeling to share the cost of R&D.

2. Eco-Friendly Products for Pets

• The US pet market exceeds $150 billion yearly. Products like vegan pet accessories (Wigglywoos), toys from recycled plastics (Harry Barker), and upcycled treats (Shameless Pets) draw buyers.

3. Ethical Apparel

Circular Economy and Zero-Waste Stores

The guide advocates for a circular model. This model reuses, recycles, and lengthens a product’s life. It lessens harm and strengthens customer trust.

It also advises how to build zero-waste stores. Remove single-use plastics, use compostable materials, and offer refills to connect customers with green choices.
