The Green Box Shop

The Green Box Shop is all about giving you a healthier and greener option. About getting effective and affordable, natural household products to your door.

We sell toiletries, child, baby and pregnancy items, dental, feminine hygiene and cleaning products, with cosmetics and men's ranges soon to follow.

You can buy individual items from us or alternatively, a household, toiletries or baby care start up kit. All the products we sell are used and chosen by us at The Green Box Shop on the basis of purity, effectiveness and cost. We even offer a refill service for certain items to help reduce the amount of plastic going into landfill.

To make it all as easy and convenient as possible, orders can be placed on line. http://www.thegreenboxshop.co.uk/

Carry your Juice Box

It seems we drink a lot of juice. Healthy and good for you but we then throw all the packaging away – tonnes of the stuff.

A women’s cooperative in the Philippines is doing something about it and making a range of bags, purses and accessories from recycled juice packs - non-biodegradable foil and plastic packaging that would otherwise go into landfill sites and incinerators.

The Cooperative began as an environmental project with the aim of 'cleaning and greening' the local neighbourhood. It has since become increasingly successful and now employs over 200 women and distributes its innovative products world-wide.

They have a huge range and orders are processed in London for UK delivery.
