Sustainable, Vegan, Recycled and Reusable
Throughout 2018 there was a rise in the amount of 'talk' about sustainability and the way things we buy are produced. Consumers became more and more conscious about the background of the products they were spending their hard earned cash on.
This year, 2019, is going to see this 'trend' grow and grow in popularity. However I think there are still a lot of people who see this as a 'trend' just because it seems to be popular on social media platforms with celebrities and influences talking about it more and more.
Veganism is the rise at the moment but it isn't just food that veganism is about. It also about using vegan materials in clothing, face and body care and home-ware. Recycled products are becoming more popular too, with some businesses deciding to take one mans trash and turn it into treasure and to extend the life of the items so it lasts much longer and gives it another use. Reusable items have also seen a rise in popularity; reusable make-up wipes, baby nappies, sanitary products, drinking straws, food wraps and many more. Often made from sustainable materials, these items can be reused over and over again meaning that there isn't constant waste and often the items mentioned include plastic so this also helps the environment and the wildlife that is effected by single use plastic and our throw away lifestyle.
