What Are Retailers Looking For Over the past year, after communicating with many retail clients in Europe and America, we found that sustainable materials are no longer just a plus, but a basic requirement on their shopping lists. Three Materials to Note: Recycled stainless steel maintains durability while reducing its carbon footprint. Plant-based plastics are suitable for storage and tableware products. Bamboo fiber composites strike a balance between price and quality. Our development team has established a supply chain for these materials, helping brands launch related products more quickly.
