# Moss Carpets Biodegradable Moss Planter is Mother Nature-Approved By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-05-04 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-planter References: [azumamakoto](http://www.azumamakoto.com/) This gorgeous moss planter is the result of a collaboration between Azuma Makoto and Unitika Ltd., and in these images it's showcased at the Tokyo Fiber Sensware exhibition at the 2009 Milan Furniture Fair. The [biodegradable moss planter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-biotech) is effectively an [organic carpet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-negative-area-rug), and the plant-derived fiber on which the moss grows will naturally decompose in about 10 years, leaving only water and carbon dioxide. **Implications** - Companies or brands that invest their money and attach their name to products or presentations that feature organic or environment-friendly concepts stand to benefit from the favorable press coverage associated with benevolent companies that seek to improve and preserve the environment. These companies can create long-term relationships with the eco-conscious population and organizations by creating original products. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Organic Products:** Creating organic or environment-friendly products can generate positive press coverage and attract eco-conscious consumers. - **Biodegradable Materials:** Developing biodegradable materials can help reduce environmental impact and appeal to consumers looking for sustainable options. - **Eco-conscious Design:** Emphasizing eco-conscious design principles can lead to innovative and sustainable solutions. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can explore incorporating organic and biodegradable materials into their product offerings, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Fashion and Textiles:** The fashion and textiles industry can investigate the use of plant-derived fibers and biodegradable materials in their designs, attracting eco-conscious consumers. - **Exhibition and Events:** The exhibition and events industry can create immersive experiences that showcase eco-conscious designs and products, catering to environmentally aware audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Natural Moss Terrariums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petite-foret-plus.md) - [Moss Terrarium Air Humidifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosslab.md) - [Moss-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-air.md) - [Living Moss Humidifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-humidifier-concept.md) - [Nature-Inspired Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-power-moss-wall-art.md) - [Self-Watering Multifunctional Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grow-lamp.md) - [Plant-Powered Humidifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-humidifier.md) - [Nature-Inspired Multifunctional Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-echo.md) - [Sustainable Design Materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycoworks-reishi.md)
