Industry insight: Conscious consumption

These days, purchasing almost anything can be a veritable minefield: are these carrots organic? Is my eyeliner cruelty free? Can I afford to pay a little extra for a plant-based washing up liquid? The struggle is more than real – it is necessary. It shows that we are engaging with the all-too real problem of global warming, rather than burying our heads in the sand. For this reason, it is important we keep the environment in mind when we are making everyday choices, such as in our clothing.
