Top 100 Eco Trends for 2022

From Biodegradable Footwear to Energy-Harvesting Floating Hotels

— January 8, 2022 — Eco
These 2022 eco trends range from aquatic energy-harvesting floating hotels to biodegradable waste material footwear. The Eco-Floating Hotel captures energy from water flow and is designed by Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio (HAADS). It responds to the growing consumer need for eco-friendly experiences.

Other eco-innovations include the Sneature Shoes, which are made with a blend of eco-friendly alternative materials such as chiengora, bio-rubber, and mycelium soles. This helps to incorporate eco-practices into our daily lives through fashionable alternatives.

In the travel industry, consumers saw sustainable solutions like the Zero Eco Meal Tray Concept for airplane food and the IKEA DRÖMSÄCK transforming tote and backpack made from recycled polyester.

For more eco inovations in the year ahead, check out Trend Hunter’s 2022 Trend Report.
