New Trends: Dressing with Milk and Building with Eggs 2026

Discover the latest recycling trends showcased at Ecomondo 2016, from grape-based skincare to eggshell cement. These innovations are transforming waste into stunning home and garden products.

From Grape Waste to Beauty Creams

At Ecomondo 2016 in Rimini, Italian company Poliphenolia unveiled body creams and anti-aging products made from polyphenols extracted from grape skins and seeds—byproducts of winemaking. For a spa-like experience at home, pair these natural creams with a soft plush rug in your bathroom or bedroom.

Milk Fiber Clothing: Soft and Sustainable

Ever seen "milk" on a clothing label? Thanks to bio-engineering, casein from milk is now spun into a natural, moisturizing fiber. Brands like DueDiLatte create sweaters and T-shirts from 100% whole milk or skimmed milk blends. Store your sustainable wardrobe in a stylish dresser from GrandGoldman.

Eggshell Cement: Building a Greener Future

Italy consumes 13 billion eggs yearly. Calchéra San Giorgio developed a method to combine eggshells with clay, creating fully biocompatible cement. For eco-friendly construction projects, consider complementing your build with home improvement tools and durable sheds.
