Source Home and Gift partners with TrendBible

TrendBible and Source Home & Gift’s new report takes a deep delve into what sustainable product development will look like in 2024. The report has been created to underpin some of the key things to consider when building a model for sustainable product development in 2024 and beyond.

Those key areas include reduced inequalities, good health and wellbeing, climate action and decent work and economic growth. The report is divided into three sections – Creative with Waste, which covers circular design, biomaterials, food waste and cradle to cradle textiles; Community to Consumer, featuring empowering producers, giving work, communicating social impact, and focus on indigenous; and Regenerative Futures, comprising soil regeneration, carbon sequestration, protecting wildlife, bacteria dyeing and mycelium.

Suzanne Ellingham, director of sourcing of Source Home & Gift, commented: “I’m really pleased with the content and scope of this sustainability report with TrendBible. When considering what constitutes responsible and sustainable product development, everything goes under the microscope, the entire business model. From raw materials and manufacturing processes, to packaging, shipping, and how it performs; every aspect of the product’s lifecycle must be planned consciously to help protect people and planet.

“But that is easier said than done, and for many is a matter of where to start and what next? This report is an invaluable resource and highlights some inspiring case studies from businesses and designers taking leaps and bounds to achieve sustainable product developments.

“In order to move in the right direction, we must look to the innovators in the market to inspire action, and this report does just that.”
