Top 100 Eco Trends in February

From Lightweight Storage-Equipped eBikes to Recycled Orange Totes

— February 28, 2021 — Eco
These February 2021 eco trends pinpoint the ways in which the sustainability movement is moving ahead to support consumer preference for more eco-friendly products and to curb emissions as well as waste on a global scale. The idea of reusable product packaging is seeing a more pronounced realization with examples like the Dove refillable deodorant, which puts more power in the hands of the consumer to curb the amount of waste they create. Additionally, we're seeing a range of new packaging creations that limit the amount of materials in the mix to make them as recyclable as possible.

The February 2021 eco trends also highlight a number of plastic-free products and solutions as consumers become acutely aware of how the material can have a greater effect on the environment on a global scale.
