Here are some truly cracking ethical and sustainable Easter eggs, available online, that are hard to beat. From vegan-friendly to Fairtrade, plastic-free and more – you’ll be sure to find an egg for you.
Easter is a mere bunny hop, skip, and jump away – in 2026 it falls on Sunday 5th of April. And if you have kids in your life (or a grown-up with a sweet tooth!), then no doubt your thoughts will soon be turning to Easter eggs.
A few years ago, plastic-free Easter eggs were almost impossible to find. Your only option was to make your own eco-friendly alternatives.
However, thanks to consumer pressure, many big-name brands have removed all single-use plastic from their Easter egg packaging. The Co-Op alone says this move will save 14 tonnes of plastic each year. It just goes to show you the impact that putting pressure on supermarkets can bring.
However, it’s not just the lack of single-use plastic that goes into making an ethical and sustainable Easter egg. There are other factors you might want to consider, including vegan-friendly ingredients, palm oil-free chocolate, and organic and Fairtrade ingredients.
The Best Ethical Easter Eggs To Know
To help you out, I’ve rounded up the best sustainable Easter eggs for both kids and adults that deliver on ethics and taste. Some are also suitable for those with dairy allergies, so look out for notes on that:
Cocoa Loco
Cocoa Loco’s range of Easter products (from £3.25 at Not On The High St.) is all certified organic, Fairtrade-certified, palm oil-free, and handmade in West Sussex.
Packaging is also important to Cocoa Loco, with all of its products being plastic-free. Products are either packaged in cardboard or in compostable bags.
In particular, these ethical Easter eggs, pictured above, are packaged in a bunny-shaped cardboard box and a compostable bag that will biodegrade at industrial sites or at home.
As well as a milk chocolate option, vegan-friendly dark chocolate options are available too. Although all Cocoa Loco products are produced in a kitchen that handles milk, so avoid these if your recipient has dairy allergies.
As well as kid-friendly Easter eggs, you can also find stunning eggs for grown-ups, all with the same eco-friendly credentials. This makes for a perfect treat to nibble on after your Easter lunch!
Moo Free
Moo Free’s range of Easter eggs (from £5.45 at Ethical Superstore) is a great budget-friendly find for kids – particularly those with dairy allergies.
This palm oil-free chocolate company makes all its chocolate dairy-free, gluten-free and vegetarian and vegan-friendly as standard, in a special dairy-free clean room.
Whilst not Fairtrade certified, Moo Free purchases Rainforest Alliance Certified Cocoa for this product to help support farmers and sustainable farming practices.
The only downside is that Moo Free’s eggs disappointingly aren’t plastic-free. However, Moo Free say the insert in their Easter egg packaging is made from recycled plastic and is also recyclable.
Booja Booja
If you are looking for a sustainable Easter egg for the grown-up in your life, then try Booja Booja (from £13.59 at Ethical Superstore).
These seriously pretty reusable egg-shaped boxes contain a selection of Booja’s Booja’s deliciously decadent and vegan-friendly chocolate truffles. Each box is also handmade and hand-painted by Kashmiri artisans in India, which helps traditional skills to flourish.
The truffles are certified organic and free of palm oil. They are also dairy-free, wheat-free, gluten-free, and free of any genetically modified ingredients.
Booja Booja says that everything it makes is dairy-free. It makes all products on its own site in Norfolk, where it ensures the strictest controls are in place. It also tests regularly at an independent laboratory, meaning it’s safe for those with specific dairy allergies.
You might be wondering whether this chocolate is Fairtrade or not. Booja Booja says that because of its commitment to using only organic and vegan ingredients, it is not currently possible to use only Fairtrade suppliers. Booja Booja, therefore, does not use the Fairtrade logo.
However, Booja Booja does say that trading fairly and ethically is essential to how it operates and is reflected in the relationships it has with its suppliers across the globe.
Tony Chocolonely
Tony’s Chocolonely (from £5.75 at Ethical Superstore) is another top choice for eggs this Easter. This B Corp and FairTrade-certified brand knows how to make seriously good chocolate.
You can choose between standard Easter eggs in a range of delicious flavours, or opt for a mix of mini eggs – like this cute box pictured above. Every option is plastic-free, so there is no sneaky plastic.
Tony’s Chocolonely is also free from palm oil, GM ingredients, artificial preservatives and artificial flavours. Although something to note is that none of its Easter options are vegan or dairy-free, so opt for something else if that’s a key factor for you.
Tony’s Chocolonely mission is to end slavery in the chocolate industry. As such, its commitment to slave-free and Fairtrade cocoa enables farmers to earn a living income, ensures traceable beans and allows them to work directly with farmers to eliminate the abuses in the industry.
Plamil
If you are looking for an ethical Easter egg for someone with allergies, then Plamil’s range of Easter eggs (£6.50 at Ethical Superstore) is also a good option. Plamil makes all of its products in its UK factory which does not handle gluten, dairy or nuts.
There is a range of tasty flavours, including ‘HazelNOT’, that has the taste of hazelnut without the use of any nuts. There’s also a low sugar dark chocolate option, and a coffee-flavoured option. As well as a dairy-free egg, each also comes with a bar of dairy-free chocolate.
What’s to love about this Easter egg is that it’s palm oil-free and is packaged without plastic. Plamil also uses rainforest alliance-certified cocoa, and they avoid child slave labour in their supply change.
