Top 100 Eco Trends in April

From Upcycled Sports Jerseys to Eco-Friendly LEGO Blocks

— April 7, 2022 — Eco
There are some interesting and innovative designs, spotlighted in the April 2022 eco trends list, that focus on sustainable materials and packaging. Greenfill3d, for example, is a Polish brand that launched a line-up of 3D-printed decor. The materials that Greenfill3d used in the production of these objects promote zero-waste. They include BioWOOD (a wood powdered material), GF3D Branfill3d (a wheat bran material), and BioCREATE (a compostable material).

Evoware is a brand that evolves plastic-free food packaging through cutting-edge biodegradable alternatives. All of Evoware's products harness the power and versatility of seaweed and other plant-based materials. For design fanatics, the SUGAR Lounge Chair—designed by Rebecca Wiik and Emil Ahlgren for Johanson Design—achieves a mid-century modern design through the use of leftover textiles.
