Waste-Powered Cleaning

Brands and scientists are creating cleaning products by re-purposing waste

Trend - Businesses are envisioning what the circular economy means beyond packaging. With a focus on ingredients, many scientists and designers are developing techniques to implement elements like food waste and carbon emissions as ingredients in cleaning products.

Insight - Today's consumers are well-aware of the consequences of waste on the environment—from air quality to animal life. As a result, many eco-conscious individuals are concerned about how to dispose of such waste correctly as they wish to maintain a guilt-free lifestyle. Thankfully, the idea of the circular economy is fast-developing in the real world and many demand this concept to be fully integrated into the products that they use on a daily or weekly basis.
Workshop Question - How might your brand interpret waste into its product/service?
Trend Themes
1. Circular Economy - Incorporating food waste and carbon emissions in cleaning products to promote sustainability helps reduce environmental pollution and create healthier lifestyles.
2. Carbon Capture Technology - Innovative use of carbon capture technology allows cleaning product manufacturers to use emissions from boilers and furnaces as raw materials for their products, making them economically and environmentally sustainable.
3. Upcycling Waste Materials - Upcycling waste materials such as cooking oil, pine needles, and horse fat promotes resource conservation, reduces plastic use and greenhouse gas emissions, and creates innovative cleaning products that embrace sustainability.
Industry Implications
1. Cleaning Product Manufacturing - Cleaning product manufacturers can incorporate circular economy practices, carbon capture technology, and upcycling of waste materials to create innovative and sustainable products that cater to the growing demand for eco-friendly cleaning options.
2. Waste Management - Innovative waste management practices can reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions while creating resources for the manufacture of sustainable cleaning products, thus creating a symbiotic relationship between the waste management and cleaning product industries.
3. Green Technology - Green technology focused on the development of carbon capture and recycling of waste materials creates opportunities for the manufacturing of innovative cleaning products that promote sustainability and reduce environmental pollution.
