Know Which Trendy Containers Are Hot With Consumers?

Monday, May 4th, 2009 - Posted by Brynn Jackson

Eco-Friendly Containers Are All The Rage With Trendy Consumers

It’s probably a shock to no one that eco-friendly containers are sweeping the nation as a leader among popular containers. It’s also no surprise that environmentally friendly containers come in several forms, making them easy to find and easy to love. When looking for the wholesale eco-friendly products that will get your customers excited, take a look at eco-friendly containers like these.

Biodegradable containers – are great because they are made of materials that break down faster, leaving less clutter and waste in our landfills. Environmentally conscious consumers tend to stray from plastic things because they break down much slower. Offering biodegradable containers alongside standard gardening pots and other containers will keep your eco-friendly consumers happy while avoid alienating this valuable niche.

Recyled containers – are extremely popular because they are made of materials that would otherwise go to waste. Soybeans can now be restructured into food, clothing, candles and containers. Other fibrous materials can be used to make containers for a variety of purposes. Recycled plastic containers are just some of the many options for your customers. Others include containers made of recycled aluminum cans, plastic soda bottles, glass and more.

Even basket and papier mache containers will satisfy the desires of your eco-friendly consumers. The most important things to look for when shopping for these “green” products are:

  • Organic or eco-friendly certification – Though some may not have this, it’s always valuable to check the origin of the products to ensure that they are truly living up to their eco-friendly label.
  • Functionality and quality – Most eco-friendly containers are every bit as good if not better than their standard counterparts. However, as with shopping for regular containers, consider the design and certification when purchasing wholesale eco-friendly containers.
  • Memorable quality – are the wholesale eco-friendly containers you have in mind easy to brag about? Eco-friendly consumers love to say “check out what this is made of!” If you can find something memorable, functional, and certified–you’re on your way to making your “green” customers very happy.

If your store is going green or your customers are favoring an eco-friendly lifestyle, consider eco-friendly containers. They’re hugely popular because they can be used in just as many ways as standard containers. Gardening, planting, holding keys or spare change…whatever the function, eco-friendly containers are where it’s at among consumers in 2009.

Not surprisingly, the hottest new garden and patio trend for 2009 lies with eco-friendly garden and patio products. Believe it or not, the hot Hot HOT garden and patio products are those that keep Mother Nature calm, cool and collected.

Most eco-friendly consumers take great pains to determine the level of environmentally safe practices and ingredients go into producing eco-friendly products. This is true even with standard products such as patio decorations and garden furniture. No imitations will do. Only the highest standards of earth-friendly quality will suffice. After all, as most remember from the classic commercial, “it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.”

So what are your consumers looking for with eco-friendly garden furniture? Look for products made of easily biodegradable materials such as wood, bamboo and other plant-based products. Also, soybeans are being used to create quality fibers that is already being used in clothing. These materials can be found on many porch swing cushions, chair covers and other outdoor furnishings.

It’s not just garden furniture that has eco-friendly consumers turning their heads. Environmentally friendly garden and patio products such as eco-friendly insect repellant and animal repellant are also rising to popularity. These products eliminate the pests at the family cookout but without the guilt of harming the creatures or polluting the air.

Other eco-friendly garden products that trendy consumers love are things like recyclable planters, environmentally friendly landscaping timbers, whiskey barrels and other containers. These types of planters and garden containers are just as durable as plastic planters but are more quickly reduced to their natural sources. Eco-friendly containers and garden planters are commonly formed of wood or other biodegradable materials that allow easier decomposition. In this way, these gardening favorites are no threat when left in a landfill.
