With the start of a new year, decade, and era underway, leading eco-friendly online retailer EarthBits.com, has revealed its top 10 alternative products for 2020.

Each item has been hand-picked as a 'game-changing' item, that every household can 'swap out' to help the environment. Ranging from reusable feminine hygiene products, to beeswax food wraps, and vegan make-up, all items conform to the company's; plastic-free, cruelty-free, and vegan ethos.

Fran Castaldelli, co-founder of EarthBits, said; "2020 promises to be the year when eco-living goes mainstream. In the past six-months we've seen a 250% increase in sustainable products, as consumers become consciously mindful of their shopping habits. For this reason, we use minimal and simple designs to keep items affordable. Products are made, packaged and delivered in a sustainable way, so consumers can feel good about making a smarter choice.


"We believe our 'zero-waste' approach to retail is the future of e-commerce. We only import items by ship, and reuse materials wherever possible, to avoid unnecessary consumption and waste."

Ranging from zero waste kitchen utensils to plastic free cleaning products, to natural soaps and shampoos and much more, the eco-friendly list reflects the changing times we live in.
The top ten alternative items for 2020 are as follows:

1. Reusable sanitary pad.
The average woman uses around 200kg of disposable feminine products in her lifetime. Most of these go to landfill, taking up to 800 years to decompose., EarthBits pads offer a leak-free reusable solution that can be used time and again

2. Natural deodorant.
Popularised by celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, natural deodorants are praised for being pure, and naturally antibacterial. Plus, they don't clog up pores, allowing you to sweat as nature intended. This organic version is enriched with lavender and tea tree.

3. Wax food wraps.
An alternative to plastic film, these natural food wraps use durable wax to keep food fresh. Reusable and easy to wash, helping to save money and resources.

4. Organic vegan mascara.
Using 100% natural ingredients, this lash-lengthening mascara by Zao Organic is cruelty-free and suitable for sensitive eyes. Encased in an attractive bamboo case, once finished you can buy a refill to cut back on packaging.

5. Organic soapnuts.
The extraordinary 'soap berry' grows on trees in the Himalayas, and contains a natural cleansing agent to lift stains off clothes. This natural product is kind to all skin types.

6. Bamboo straws.
The search for replacing plastic straws is over, with these eco-friendly alternatives made from bamboo. Complete with cleaning brush, this pack of five can be reused.

7. Reusable make-up remover pads (pack of ten)
Bringing beauty into the 21st century, these makeup remover pads are made from cotton and bamboo. Pop in the washing machine to clean and reuse.

8. Solid shampoo bar.
Infused with the goodness of aloe vera and natural oils, this shampoo soap bar is handmade. Free from plastic packaging and chemicals, allowing you to get back to nature.

9. Bamboo cutlery.
Bamboo cutlery is the next big trend in sustainable dining. Consumers are already making the switch for picnics and parties, instead of single-use plastic cutlery.

10. Charcoal toothpaste.
