You can really tell that retailers are upping their game when it comes to sustainability when one of them actually launches a calculator that tells shoppers the carbon footprint of the food that they’ve bought. S Group, which is a big name in Finland, has done just that. It’s part of the company’s S-mobiili app…

The company has linked up with Aquafil and its Econyl brand to create a new men’s line made from regenerated nylon derived from waste materials such as fishing nets and used carpets.
H&M has pulled out all the stops for its latest offer under the Conscious banner with the new Conscious Exclusive Collection looking more ‘fashion’ than the average ‘eco’ line-up.
