tudies conducted year after year indicate that businesses that have a purpose, follow green practices, launch collections made from ecological materials and embrace sustainable processes have become the conscious consumer\u2019s first choice.

A recent US survey<\/a><\/span> conducted by GreenPrint, with a sample group of 1000 consumers found that a stark majority of 66% were keen to pay more for eco-friendly products. However,<\/span> 78% of the people surveyed say that, even with their desire to buy from brands that orient with planet-friendly values; as consumers, they fail to find suitable green brands in the market that meet their needs holistically. These findings suggest that buyers are looking for a one-stop solution for all their conscious buying requirements without the hassle of looking for multiple organizations. At <\/span>Qalara<\/span><\/a><\/span> we offer a wide gamut of products that are sustainable, recycled, responsible and altogether good for the environment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In a 2021 study<\/a><\/span> conducted by First Insight, it was found that the Gen Z consumer has a massive influence on not only their Gen X parents but even their grandparents when it comes to planet-friendly shopping. An inclination to help the environment was noticed to be the primary reason people purchase eco-friendly and sustainable products and brands. As reported by Business Insider, Gen Z\u2019s influence will only increase as the younger members of this group grow into adulthood. By 2030, Gen Z will represent 27% of the world\u2019s income, surpassing Millennials by 2031.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

        Natural fibers form a vital source of income for many of the native communities of India, Vietnam, and Thailand. Apart from being evidently eco-friendly and biodegradable, plant fibers like bamboo, jute, sabai grass, cane, banana fiber, hemp, coir, and water hyacinth are grown in abundance in these regions and have more than one attribute in common. They\u2019re all robust, high-yielding, versatile, and renewable crops that don\u2019t require pesticides or chemicals to grow. The fact that these crops require very less energy to nurture, that they restrain soil erosion, and supply biofuel make them all the more appealing. Qalara\u2019s roster is brimming with over 6260 lifestyle products<\/a><\/span> made from these plant fibers that are exquisitely handcrafted by artisanal hands and above all, are nurturing the planet as well as sustaining livelihoods.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

        Terracotta is usually made from a fairly coarse, porous type of clay which is first sculpted, then fired until hard. Terracotta has been used in India for centuries. Traditionally, it was seen as an enigmatic material because of its combination of four of the five vital earth elements \u2013 air, earth, fire, and water. Being strong, durable, and naturally resistant to bacteria, Terracotta is an ideal choice for drinkware and kitchen utensils.

        Restaurants and eateries are preferring ceramic tableware and serveware not only for its earthy aesthetic but competent properties like corrosion-resistance and the tenacity to withstand high temperatures. Transparency Market Research documented<\/a> that the ceramic tableware market is set to reach 22.2 billion dollars by 2031. What makes it good for the planet is that it is crafted by traditional potters with natural minerals and clays, sans any chemicals, like the speckled ones made in Puducherry or the hand painted ones made in Jaipur; click <\/span>here<\/span><\/a><\/span> to find more than 8200 ceramic offerings on Qalara!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

        Consistency and counterbalancing is key when it comes to reducing carbon footprint. It takes businesses their entire lifetime to even approach this step. Planting more trees to restore the forests, refurbishing the old to create something new, and using solar power and bio-fuel to generate electricity have become among the favorite few carbon-offsetting projects for brands. As elucidated by the Energy Intelligence Centre<\/span>, <\/b>such initiatives can help mitigate emissions, lift rural communities out of poverty and help us transition to a net zero economy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
