Top 100 Eco Trends in March

From Carbon-Negative Algae Sodas to Eco-Friendly Surprise Toys

— March 5, 2022 — Eco
The March 2022 eco innovations showcase how all industries are switching from single-use products and high carbon emissions to a low eco-footprint business model. At this point, the effects of climate change are undeniable, and consumers are looking for brands that support the battle against the world's rapidly declining health.

In the toy industry, companies are looking for new ways to make their products more sustainable. L.O.L Surprise! dolls, for example, has switched to recyclable packaging without sacrificing any of the doll's fun. The dolls are meant to be unwrapped layer by layer until the toy is unveiled, which causes ample amounts of waste. The switch to recyclable material is beneficial to the planet.

Another noteworthy innovation comes from the beverage industry. Dul, a Dutch soda brand, makes its soda with blue algae to shrink its carbon footprint.
