Since the beginning of ecological awareness in the 1960s, the question of how to communicate on this subject has arisen. In fact, the term "green marketing" was first used in 1975, when Karl Henion and Thomas Kinnear published their book Ecological Marketing (American Marketing Association). In simple terms, we have moved from marketing environmentally friendly products to producing, promoting and packaging products in a more environmentally friendly way. In a way, there has been a reversal of focus, where sustainability has lost its centrality and became a tool of communication.

As a fashion trend, mix & match has been around for decades. With the rise of Instagram's fashion bloggers and their search for unique styles, mix & match has become so important that it has invaded the catwalks in recent years, right up to the latest fashion shows. Favoured by the use of social media, the trend has spread to interior design, where vintage Scandinavian furniture can be found alongside Ikea carpets. Mix & match is a joyful game of experimentation that concerns all areas related to image, whether it is that of a person or a brand. Graphic design is no exception today.

Antalis has thanked customers for their support by rewarding benefits for customers’ businesses, which also help reach sustainability objectives.
