Ethical Consumption Issues

Marc Bain's report on fashion in Quartz was insightful. Must read. The sad truth is all the corporate campaigning about sustainability is more marketing than genuine change. The companies and consumers in the East and West have different interpretations and understanding on sustainability. It's a real Catch-22 situation.

Algramo

A Chilean startup based in Santiago, Algramo--which means by the gram---is working with global consumer good companies to drive what they call the refill revolution. I hope they succeed.

Marlin

Veja has launched the Marlin, a new brand with 62 percent bio-based and recycled materials. The performance shoe features a 65 percent bio-based rubber outsole made from Amazonian rubber and rice waste; a knitted upper and lining from 100 percent recycled plastic bottles; and a 60 percent sugar cane midsole. Its L-foam cushioning, which is developed from natural rubber, is meant to absorb shock and provide 80 percent energy return. Take a look.
