Plantability

Products that can be planted offer extra eco-friendly benefits

Implications - Creating a product that is eco-friendly is one thing; creating something that can also be planted is quite another. More brands are experimenting with items that are plantable, infusing products with germinating and blossoming qualities that provide even more environmental benefits than what is expected of eco products today. The ability to be planted ensures a product goes above and beyond basic eco standards to meet the growing demands of today's green-conscious consumer.
Trend Themes
1. Plantable Products - Products that have germinating and blossoming qualities that can be planted to provide even more environmental benefits.
2. Eco-friendly Utensils - Eco-friendly eating utensils designed to be reused, repurposed, or provide extra environmental benefits, such as germinating into plants.
3. Dual-purpose Compost - Compost that also provides space to garden. Multi-level compost bin featuring slots for planting vegetables and herbs.
Industry Implications
1. Eco-friendly Packaging - Opportunities for businesses to create packaging using plantable material or to create dual-purpose containers that uphold environmental standards
2. Eco-friendly Funeral Products - Opportunities for businesses to create environmentally responsible funeral products, including plantable urns and biodegradable caskets.
3. Eco-friendly Utensils - Opportunities for businesses to create eco-friendly utensils that can be reused or repurposed or have additional features such as germinating into plants.
