Zero Carbon (UPDATE)

Innovations in carbon-neutral products to offset carbon footprint

Implications - Carbon-free living is something that many consumers and companies are taking seriously. While zero carbon vehicles gained momentum in 2010, this year, designers and manufacturers are going steps further with even more products and innovations centered on carbon-neutral operation. Even schools and home-cleaning products have entered the zero carbon game, and what can’t be carbon-free per se, can at least be carbon-offsetting.
Trend Themes
1. Carbon-neutral Products - Zero carbon products and innovations are becoming increasingly popular as designers and manufacturers opt for carbon-neutral operation.
2. Eco-friendly Transportation - Consumers and companies alike are pursuing eco-friendly modes of transportation, as evidenced by the rise of zero carbon vehicles and air-powered motorcycles.
3. Sustainable Buildings - Newer buildings are being designed and constructed with eco-friendly practices in mind, providing zero-energy schools and green microbreweries.
Industry Implications
1. Transportation - The transportation industry stands to gain by adopting eco-friendly practices and investing in the production of zero carbon vehicles.
2. Manufacturing - As designers and manufacturers increasingly prioritize carbon-neutral operation, more sustainable manufacturing practices can be developed and implemented.
3. Construction - The construction industry is poised to benefit from increasing demand for sustainable buildings, such as carbon-neutral schools and eco-friendly microbreweries.
