In today’s rapidly evolving retail landscape, staying ahead of consumer trends is essential for success. Research highlights the importance of retailers and brands adopting innovative and sustainable practices to capture consumer interest and maintain a competitive edge. Brands that blend cutting-edge technology and sustainable solutions are leading the change.
Sustainable solutions
Consumer insights reveal that 90% of Gen Z shoppers worldwide are willing to pay a premium for sustainable products, driving a significant increase in demand for eco-friendly shopping experiences. This trend underscores the need for retailers to provide innovative, sustainable options that reflect evolving consumer values.
Cleaner Days is one brand driving this shift with its space-saving, time-efficient and economical cleaning solutions. With pre-measured laundry and dishwashing sheets, Cleaner Days helps consumers reduce their ecological footprint while ensuring high cleaning standards and convenience.
The Good Change Store blends innovation with sustainability, offering eco-friendly and award-winning cleaning products free from harmful chemicals and microplastics. The range includes powerful cleaning solutions and upsell opportunities with glass bottles and tablet refill options, catering to eco-conscious consumers’ demand for effective, sustainable products.
Plant-based snacking
The snacking industry is experiencing a significant shift towards plant-based alternatives. Driven by Millennials and Gen Z in their pursuit of healthier choices, over half of consumers are actively seeking more plant-based snack options.
DJ&A is at the forefront of this movement, redefining the snacking category with plant-based, nutrient-dense products. Their use of low-temperature cooking methods preserves the nutritional integrity of fruits and vegetables while avoiding GMOs, artificial additives, and added MSG. DJ&A snacks offer health-conscious consumers convenient, wholesome grab n’ go options.

The Cauliflower Puffs, a popular baked lunchbox choice, are made from 100% natural ingredients and free from gluten, dairy, egg, GMOs, refined sugar and trans-fat. Standout packaging emphasises these health benefits, making nutritious, guilt-free snacking effortless.
