Top 100 Eco Trends in April

From Adaptogenic Plant Proteins to Recycled Ocean Plastic Backpacks

— April 22, 2023 — Eco
From plastic-free serum sticks to climate-friendly protein bars, this list of eco trends in April 2023 encompasses everything from packaging and cosmetics to transportation and fashion.

While Graham's Dairy continues to introduce sustainable carton solutions, Lumene has incorporated the ‘Cristal One E Renew' bottle from Eastman, providing the appearance of glass using a rigid, thick-wall construction that is not typically achievable with conventional recycled resins. The bottle is endorsed by the Association of Plastic Recyclers and the European PET Bottle Platform as Resin Identification Code 1.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Panther Denim has unveiled a new innovative dye solution for colored denim, allowing manufacturers to distress and custom-wash any denim product. The main benefit of 'Retro Dye' is that it requires much less water than ordinary reactive dye, making it more environmentally friendly.
