Top 100 Business Trends in December

From Zero Waste Grocery Stores to Automated Salad Servers

— December 28, 2019 — Business
The vast list of December 2019 business trends explores new and progressive ways that brands are practicing their overall business model. The new concepts explore conscious approaches to areas such as sustainability, efficiency, convenience, better consumer connection, and much more.

One of these examples if the Nada Grocery store, which is a location found in Vancouver bringing awareness to the issues of climate change. It encourages consumers to bring their own bags and containers to store the produce in order to eliminate the need for packaging for a more sustainable space. Another great idea this month is the 'Sally 2.0' by Chowbotics. It automatically prepares fresh salads using a touchscreen control panel interface and can also create fruit bowls, yogurt bowls, and more.
