Happy World Chocolate Day! In today’s post, I’m going to be sharing some eco-friendly chocolate brands. To be specific, I’m talking about the brands that have eco-friendly packaging. Everyone loves chocolate, it’s just one of those things that will never change. But what if I told you that you can enjoy chocolate without costing the planet? It’s the perfect Plastic-Free July swap!
Eco-friendly chocolate brands
Tony’s Chocolonely
I adore Tony’s Chocolonely*, my sister recommended it to me and I love it. Potentially even more than Cadburys 😲 It is a bit on the more expensive side but it’s nice for a treat. The packaging consists of foil wrapping the chocolate and a paper outer lining. Not only has it got plastic-free packaging, but it is also Fairtrade! This is where the workers are paid are fair wage and are working in sustainable conditions. Tony’s Chocolonely is slave-free and only incorporate ethical practices.

Vegan Galaxy
Galaxy has always been more expensive than other chocolates so switching to their vegan alternative might not be too much of a jump. I know that I mentioned Vegan Galaxy before in my vegan snacks post, but I wanted to mention it again to properly talk about the packaging. Galaxy’s Vegan packaging has a foil-like consistency, is made of wood fibre and is fully compostable, as well as a cardboard sleeve that is fully recyclable. So yes, their vegan collection has plastic-free packaging which, don’t get me wrong, is amazing but all their other products have plastic packaging. So are they moving forward? It’s debatable.

Divine Chocolate
Divine Chocolate* is known for being Fairtrade, but did you know that they have eco-friendly packaging too? They are doing everything to reduce their environmental impact by purchasing almost all of their packaging locally, as well as their palm oil-free chocolate! The farmers are having to cope with climate change, such as infrequent rainfall, so they are working with Twin (the NGO that help set Divine up) to adapt. They are currently planting their cocoa trees in the shade to increase moisture conservation which, in turn, will increase the biodiversity in tropical rainforests. Additionally, they plant their trees in small family farms and not forests that have been cut down.
Happi Free From*(gifted)
Happi Free From is newer than the previous three eco-friendly chocolate brands and is an oat milk chocolate. I tried the orange one and it’s delicious – I’d definitely reccommend it! Their packaging is from completely sustainable sources, with the film being made from plants so it’s compostable, and the packaging is fully recyclable. Along with this, they are slave-free and so they know who grew the crops and how much they were paid. On top of all of the amazing environmental aspects, they donate 1% of their net revenue to mental health organisations! My two niches coming together 👏
Conscious Chocolate
This is the only brand from my list of eco-friendly chocolate brands that I haven’t tried but Conscious Chocolate bars have plastic-free packaging! They strive to make their chocolate carbon neutral, with a strong sustainable and ethical commitment. They are also vegan, with a lovely selection of unique flavours – I’m particularly curious about one of their bars named ‘Love Potion’.
What are your favourite eco-friendly chocolate brands?
Best wishes, Cx
I’m not a huge chocolate eater but I do like Divine’s chocolate. So yummy! Great post.
Thank you x
Oooh an oat milk chocolate bar sounds really good! I’ll have to give some of these recommendations a go, thanks for sharing!

I can confirm it’s delicious! xx
The only sustainable / Vegan chocolate brand I’ve tried are Ombar and I absolutely LOVED it. Like I literally gobble up a whole bar in 5 minutes and felt siiiiick afterwards but it was so worth it haha. I’m not Vegan but I think I could make that swap a few times a week! These sound like some great brands to check out too x
Ooh, I’ll have a lookout for it!
I never really thought about how many chocolate brands use plastic packaging, but it’s great to know there are eco-friendly options! Happi Free From sounds like a wonderful brand & I hope the chocolate will taste good!
So true, it was amazing 😍
I’ve seen the Tony’s Chocolonely bars around in a few places, but I’ve yet to try it. I remember when Cadbury’s Dairy Milk bars came in foil and paper packaging. I wonder why they never changed back to that
I know right!
I really need to try the vegan Galaxy, it sounds like they do need to start using plastic free packaging though! x

The mention of chocolate got my attention straight away! I love using eco friendly products but never thought about chocolate being in that category before but it makes sense. I really have to try Divine chocolate!
Haha! Thank you for commenting x
I don’t eat chocolate much, but this is a great list of recommendations of eco-friendly chocolate brands to choose from the next time I’m craving it. Thank you for sharing
Thank you 🙂
Thanks for pointing out these great chocolate treats that are also eco-friendly. I realize that chocolate and packaged foods are not always sustainable so it’s great to know what to choose from!
Thanks!
It’s great these companies are doing eco friendly packaging. I’ve seen the Tony’s bar before but I’ve never tried it, will have to buy some!
So true x
Ooh I’m dying to try the vegan galaxy but I haven’t gotten round to it yet. These all sound delicious – I’ll keep an eye out for them and have a taste test!

I didn’t know that there were so many more different brands that do this now. I will have to do a bit of research and see what I can find near me and I’d definitely switch to all eco-friendly chocolate. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you x
Love Tony’s chocolate! I used to get it all the time. x

Oooh great list! For some reason the Tony’s Chocolonely bars always remind me of Wonka bars (no idea why!). All of these sound amazing 🙂 x

Haha, I get you x
I love the branding of Happi chocolate, it looks funk and funny which is a great selling point – plus their chocolate is lush x
I agree 😍
These look really yummy! I haven’t tried any of these (not sure if they’re available in the states) but I love the design of the Happi chocolates! Thanks for sharing.
I think the Happi Free From chocolate is worldwide shipping x
I have seen Tony’s Chocolonely a lot on social media recently but I had no idea they were so eco friendly too! The other brands I have never come across but I will definitely check them out, I am always looking for ways to become more eco friendly especially when I am baking.

You do a choc post and I don’t do?? Not possible!! Will do your latest ones later but for now… I haven’t tried any eco friendly I’m actually surprised. I loved hearing that fair trade for the first one, and vegan chocolate with oats milk is something new to me too. Lacking behind on this I think I’ll research more. Thanks a lot for enlightening with info. Xx

Oat milk chocolate is amazing
I’ve not tried it (yet!) but the packaging and branding of Tony’s is seriously cool. Gives me Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – the 1971 classic version – vibes.
I agree! x
We have several chocolatiers in Vancouver who are eco-friendly and I like to purchase from them when I can. Thanks for sharing the importance of supporting these companies.
Thank you x
