Standard hygiene products are redesigned to reduce waste
Trend - Single-use hygiene products are often necessary but, unsurprisingly harmful to the environment for the waste they produce. Emerging brands in this space are prioritizing hygiene-related products that aim to reduce consumer waste with designs that are easily cleaned or sterilized, rather than thrown away after use.
Insight - Consumers are becoming increasingly adopting preventative care routines as concerns about personal hygiene are raised in the face of issues like virus-spreading. The measures they have to take in order to achieve this form of maintenance are often at a crossroads with consumers' growing desire to live in a way that's less harmful to the environment. Brands that are able to avoid wasteful production or use are more favorable to these consumers.
