Top 100 Eco Trends in April

From Plantable Seed-Infused Face Masks to Electric Cargo Sleds

— May 1, 2021 — Eco
These April 2021 eco trends pinpoint the various ways we're seeing the industry pay more attention to sustainability and the environment in a number of unexpected ways.

One of the most timely examples within this collection is the Marie Bee Bloom biodegradable face mask that offers an eco-friendly alternative to the disposable face mask that will grow flowers upon being buried in the garden. Beyond this, we're seeing a major shift in the beauty industry towards eco-friendly products and packaging as brands adapt to the anti-plastic movement as well as consumer desire for enhanced sustainability from their favorite items.

Transportation innovations are also observed within the April 2021 eco trends where personal electric scooters and bikes become more accessible for the average consumer to incorporate into their lifestyle.
