Singapore: Bamboo Loo Roll

Bamboo isn’t just for pandas! Noo Trees Bamboo Toilet Tissue (SGD8.20/£4.12) is made from 100% virgin EcoLuxe bamboo pulp. The three-ply toilet tissue is said to be sustainable, eco-friendly, biodegradable, and absorbent.

Mexico: Pet-Friendly Cleaner

This natural spray has been designed to disinfect 99% of bacteria while protecting the feet and noses of furry friends. Respet Republic of Pets Magic Disinfectant Cleaner (MXN 39.00/£1.63) has no chlorine or ammonia.

Canada: Fresh Linen Scented Oil

Is there anything better than the smell of fresh linen? Air Wick doesn’t seem to think so, having released a Snuggle Fresh Linen Scented Oil for Electrical Plug Diffuser (CAD 6.98/£4.08).

US: Garbage Disposal Freshener

Using naturally derived ingredients and a non-toxic formula, Grab Green’s Garbage Disposal Freshener & Cleaner Pods ($4.49/£3.01) help to loosen grime, remove odours and prevent clogging. They’re scented with tangerine, lemongrass and bergamot.

Italy: Eco Chic Candle

The Eco Chic Scented Candle exudes palpable sensuality, says Green Energy Organics. The candle is made from organic vegetable wax with a blackcurrant, rose, violet, myrrh, tonka bean, vanilla and white musk aroma.

South Korea: Concentrated Laundry Capsule

Keep the vibrancy of your brightly-coloured clothes alive with ATO Safe’s High Concentrated Laundry Detergent Capsule (KRW 189,000.00/£10.47). The eco-friendly, water soluble capsule is suitable for front and top-loading machines.

France: Detergent for Sensitive Skin

Ecover respects skin and the environment, according to the brand, which has repacked its Zero Liquid Detergent for Sensitive Skin (€12.30/£11.27). Free from fragrances and colourings, it’s said to remove tough stains at 30°c.

Australia: Pest Control for Bins

Change your wheelie bin from a fly breeder to a fly killer using Bin Kill’s Pest Control for Bins (AUD 9.50/£4.83). The device kills flies, maggots and odours for up to three months.

Japan: Living Room Cleanser

This cleanser is claimed to refresh the house without the need for cleaning twice. Kao My Pet Fresh Green Fragrance Living Room Cleanser (JPY 278.00/£1.61) can be used on floors, lighting, furniture and other surfaces.

Singapore: Ultra-Concentrated Detergent

Kao Attack’s Quick Clean Ultra Concentrated Liquid Detergent (SGD 5.95/£2.95) is suitable for front or top loader washing machines with a revolutionary formula to break down sweat and food stains in just five minutes.
