2023 living trend, ‘Sustainability’?

‘Sustainability’ is a new living trend, and its movement has received great emphasis this year.

As much as it is the most important trend for any other industry, it is for the living industry as well.?

Many brands have highlighted eco-friendly manufacturing processes and consumption for a sustainable future.

Let’s see how these brands shared their messages about the environment.

Production using recycled acrylic

Acrylic board became familiar to us since after the COVID-19 pandemic began.?

For commercial areas, like convenience stores, classrooms, and restaurants, these acrylic boards were used in every little part of our lives to prevent the spread of the disease.?

However, since acrylic is a combination of different resources, recycling it is very difficult if there is only a small amount of waste.?

M Brand collects a massive amount of acrylic to recycle and even makes a product out of it.

From time to time, they also collaborate with another recycling brand; for example, the furniture from the above image is made out of wasted plastic bottle caps melted.

These are some of the brands that showed their commitment to sustainability at the 2023 Living Design Fair.?
