"Over the past few years, there's been a lot of hype surrounding ingestible collagen, thanks to its purported hair- and skin-boosting benefits. But most studies on collagen powders and supplements have been done using animal-derived collagen, which makes the job of narrowing down the best vegan collagen powders a tricky one. To find out more, Bustle spoke with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Cynthia Bailey and registered dietitian nutritionist Sharon Palmer. Keep reading ...to find out what these experts had to say."

We are pleased to announce that we've been selected as one of just 21 companies worldwide to be included in the VegTech Index. The VegTech Index is the first index of its kind and includes leading publicly traded plant-based companies. The goal is to provide a fiscal scoreboard using market cap-weighted performance to show the overall financial health and strength for the sector. Eat Beyond is thrilled to be one of just 21 companies globally to be part of this new index,... Eat Beyond CEO Patrick Morris said. There is plenty of evidence among investors and consumers that the plant-based industry is growing, but by offering consolidated financial data, this index will be a powerful new measure of the full weight, impact, and potential of the plant-based and food tech sector. In order to be considered for the index, companies must be focused on animal-free advancements in its products and not be producing animal products or disrupting wildlife. The VegTech index increased over 23 percent in January of 2021. See the full article here: http://ow.ly/OZKC50E7mPw

"WESTCHESTER , Ill. Predictions for the plant-based food category are promising, some bolder than others. MarketsandMarkets, Northbrook, Ill., recently forecast the global plant protein market to have a compound annual growth rate of 7% to reach $14.5 billion by 2025. Kees Kruythoff, chairman and chief executive officer of The Livekindly Collective, New York, has a loftier prediction for plant-based foods: $400 billion to $500 billion in global sales by 2040. Whether such f...igures are reached will depend on how industry solves taste issues, scales up production and targets consumers. Appealing to teenage daughters could help, and the food industry could take cues from transportation innovation in the early 20th century."

"‘We have had K-Beauty and J-beauty, now it’s time for S-beauty,’ says Ellen af Petersens, co-founder of the beauty brand Colekt. That ‘S’ stands for Scandinavian, and af Petersens has certainly created a brand that is a unique expression of her native homeland, working with fellow Stockholmer Susanne Vennerstrand and the design team at Acne (which launched Byredo a decade ago). All Colekt formulations are vegan, take their inspiration from the natural ingredients of the are...a think Oak Root Face Oil and Mulberry Leaf Face Mist and come in recyclable packaging with grey colouring that’s inspired by the Swedish archipelago.

"We’re becoming more aware of and concerned by how plastic is damaging human and planetary health. You might know, for example, that one plastic water bottle takes at least 450 years to decompose. And yet, Americans still only recycle 30% of them. This plastic waste is killing millions of wild animals every year. Nearly all plastic 99% is made from fossil fuels, so it also has a major impact on climate change. Other than decreasing our consumption altogether, we’re told t...he best action we can take to alleviate the harm plastic causes is to swap to alternatives. The second best is to recycle the plastic we do use." Read the full article here: http://ow.ly/nqlG50DZuep Photo credit: ShutterStock
