Larger companies are using sustainable material while small-time entrepreneurs in design have opted for an even simpler solution with vintage material. This has given certain products a vintage edge that consumers are attracted to due to its natural aesthetic and eco-friendly nature. The reuse of scrap objects is a cost-efficient method for companies to use and it makes them look friendlier to the eco-conscious consumer.
