Hey there,

We've documented a ton of interesting trends this month! A common theme we've noted in September is a growing preference for brands and products that keep eco-initiatives at their core. This consumer preference is inspiring brands and businesses in a variety of industries, as they seek to find creative ways to be sustainable in their practices.

We're seeing eco-friendly approaches to PPE, with innovations like Discarded's upcycled milk masks, made from casein protein extracts, that turn milk waste into products consumers need today. We're also seeing sustainable purchase options in retail, such as Nivea's cosmetic refill stations, designed to help consumers reduce plastic waste easily in-store.
