Customers’ heightened desire to shop local and buy more sustainable products are driving brands across sectors to shorten their supply chains and remove the middleman, to create new products in front of customers’ eyes, directly in store.
Fashion brand H&M will start to recycle clothing on the shop floor of its Stockholm flagship. Customers can watch the new ‘Looop’ system shred their old clothes into fibres and spin them into new yarn, to create brand new clothing in real time.
Whole Foods is the latest grocery brand to partner with InFarm to hydroponically grow fresh herbs in its Kensington and Fulham, London stores. When compared to traditional agriculture, InFarm’s vertical farming units use 95% less water, 75% less fertiliser and no pesticides, enabling customers to buy local, organic produce.
