The future
• Greenfluencers
• New packaging solution
• New packaging materials

Greenfluencers – Trend Overview
Governments, companies, social pressures and style leaders motivate people to go green. Authorities have in some cases resorted to draconian measures, penalising those who don’t opt in to recycling programs, low-emission transport or green building codes.
If that is influence without a choice, the role played by brands and companies is more persuasive. Those who’ve earned the trust and leadership can coerce others into going green not by force, but by ‘positive reinforcement', and softer enticements like looking cool or earning cash.
But greenfluencers can also be individuals. The role of consumer(s) as green ambassadors takes the sustainability movement in a new direction with the incentive to be part of something bigger.
We know that the ‘green is cool’ movement can sometimes go too far, veering into Eco and Ego territory. But ultimately greenfluence is less about cultivating image and more about fostering community.

New packaging solution
• A start-up has re-invented the disposable coffee cup.
• Compleat is an all-paper design that has a built-in lid - which means no need for a plastic lid -with a sipping spout.
• Developed by Peter Herman, an architect at the Massachusetts firm Ellenzeig, the design is composed of a single piece of paper and would be ideally waterproofed with cellulose-based plastic so it could be composted.
• Herman has partnered with a graphic design firm to make use of all three of the cup’s surfaces and is in talks with manufacturers and retailers.

New materials
Researchers are exploring new plant-based packaging materials that can be substituted for petrochemically-sourced plastics in food and cosmetics packs
A team in Spain has discovered how to use a whey protein coating while in France Algopack has engineered an algae-derived material to replace certain
petrochemically-sourced plastics

Thoughts for the future
Retailers and manufacturers are becoming role models to get ahead of their competitors.
Dialogue between greenfluencer companies and greenfluencer
individuals equates to “Collective Intelligence” and creates greater trust and more useful products.
There’s an opportunity to make green lifestyles and services fun and enjoyable rather than a duty or a task.
