EarthHero Brand
Sustainability Made Simple
Who They Are
What is the story of EarthHero? You may know us for our zero waste living products, or for our carbon neutral shipping and funky reused shipping boxes. But we’re so much more than that.
EarthHero, at its core, is a storyteller–sharing the amazing histories of the ever growing list of brands that we’re proud to have as a part of our eco-friendly family. Founded by avid environmentalist, Ryan Lewis, EarthHero is here to make it simple to live, and shop, sustainably. With a history working in a traditional production chain, Lewis saw the incredible amount of waste being made through every step of the process, and wanted to find a way to give better, sustainable businesses a platform. Thus, EarthHero was born.
From humble roots in a tiny 480 square foot office in local Boulder, Colorado, with a team of just 3 inspired individuals, we have grown immensely just in the last year–and are proud to now have thousands of products to offer you, and a growing team of Earth Heroes to help along the way.

Why We Like Them
We’ve all benefited from traditional commerce. It’s convenient, accessible… but it’s hurting our planet. Big business is using up finite resources to create products that are designed to end up in the landfill, which are packaged in plastic that will outlive your great great great grandchildren.
EarthHero’s growing list of brands are committed to doing business differently. They use better materials from renewable resources, organic and recycled content, and sustainably harvested materials that cut down on finite resource extraction, energy, and water usage. Instead of classic production methods, our brands are redesigning production by reusing excess materials, employing things like solar power for energy, and using fewer chemicals in their products. The end result is an overall lower carbon footprint as a company, both in our zero waste office, and throughout our shipping emissions partnership with Carbonfund.
From start to finish, our brands are proud to be setting a new standard for what it means to be a sustainable business. And frankly, so is EarthHero. We’re raising the bar on transparency–trading buzzwords like “green” for third-party organic certifications, and “natural” with information about what actually makes that product “natural”. In short, we’re moving towards a more sustainable future–and we need your help.
By supporting brands on EarthHero, you support shifting our economy in favor of companies that are doing better. You’re voting with your dollar, telling companies that you want better materials, more ethical practices, and a charitable component. Not only will every product sold support this system of conscious commerce, but EarthHero is also part of 1% for the Planet. This means that EarthHero donates 1% of total sales towards environmental nonprofits–spreading their impact even further!
But we don’t just talk the talk… we walk the walk. We’re committed to a zero waste office, reducing our waste as a company by composting everything we can–and recycling or reusing the rest. Our shipping boxes are made from post-consumer paper, and we reuse or recycle the boxes that arrive at the EarthHero warehouse. Through education and volunteer opportunities, we make sure the entire team is educated about proper waste sorting, with skills they can take home with them.
At the end of the day, our mission is to make sustainable shopping so simple, everyone can do it.
