Reusable and compostable packaging
Consumers are increasingly looking for products with minimal or compostable packaging. This includes items such as reusable food storage containers, beeswax wraps, and compostable packaging materials made from natural fibers.
Refillable products and bulk shopping
Refillable products and bulk shopping are gaining popularity as they reduce single-use packaging waste. Consumers can bring their own containers to refill items such as cleaning products, personal care items, and dry goods.
Zero waste personal care and cleaning products
There is a growing demand for zero waste personal care and cleaning products, including items such as shampoo bars, solid dish soap, and reusable cleaning cloths. These products often come in compostable or reusable packaging.
Upcycled and secondhand fashion
Upcycled and secondhand fashion is becoming more mainstream as consumers seek sustainable alternatives to fast fashion. This includes shopping at thrift stores, participating in clothing swaps, and supporting brands that use upcycled materials.
DIY and homemade alternatives
Many individuals are turning to DIY and homemade alternatives for everyday items such as cleaning products, beauty products, and even clothing. This allows for complete control over the ingredients and materials used, reducing waste and environmental impact.
