Top 100 Eco Trends in May

From Certified Carbon-Neutral Toys to Seaweed-Based Takeout Boxes

— May 7, 2022 — Eco
From certified carbon-neutral toys to seaweed-based takeout boxes, companies and brands across all industries are looking for eco-alternatives to create a more sustainable future, as shown in the May 2022 eco innovations. Consumers are more informed than ever before and are expecting companies to reimagine their products with the planet in mind.

Mega Bloks Green Town is certainly making a splash in the eco-sphere with its certified carbon-neutral range of toys. The company is working towards using 100% recyclable or bio-based plastic materials in all its products by 2030.

In the food industry, Just Eat Takeaway is favoring seaweed rather than plastic for its to-go boxes. The company continues in the collection war against plastic by offering consumers sustainable takeup alternatives.
