The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
most recent study, released in 2014, states the
majority of global climate change over the past
50 years "can only be explained by the effects
of human influences." While you've likely heard
this echoed throughout the past decade, the
urgency to reduce the environmental footprint
of retail remains.
And when it comes to designing a sustainable store, it's all about the materials. Despite
such an overwhelming variety of options in
the marketplace, we've narrowed it down to
20 exciting new products that will help meet
"green" goals: Waste is reduced in these products' production methods, and suppliers and
manufacturers are recycling materials that
would otherwise end up in a landfill - all without
sacrificing style. -Kaileigh Peyton
