好看又环保的设计很难不爱！

When we talk about furniture, we think of pieces made using the most traditional materials such as wood, plastic and metal. Vadim Kibardin decided to give an innovative, sustainable twist on this and designed furniture from paper in 5,110 hours.

Kibardin has been doing this for over 25 years – he has successfully recycled 2,000 pounds of cardboard which is the equivalent of saving 17 trees. To put this into perspective, 17 trees absorb 250 pounds of carbon dioxide each year.

The shoe designed by Emilie Burfeind only needs three renewable materials: the upper part is woven from dog hair, the transition structure is natural rubber from tree sap and the sole is mushroom mycelium from plant waste.

The dog hair used for shoes was collected from dog owners by Berlin’s companies. In Germany, there are 80 tons of such discarded hair a year.

Producing this kind of shoe adopts a protein-based 3D knit technology. Just like regular sneakers, they are ventilated, cushioned, waterproof and insulated.

The helmet is a sustainable product made from mycelium which is the vegetative part of a fungus.

Mycelium is the thready hyphae that are tightly woven into mass branch-like networks making it a strong sustainable material. The network of filaments are natural binders and they also are self-adhesive to the surface they grow on. The process is based on biological elements that help in upcycling waste.

This mushroom material is biodegradable, sustainable, and a low-cost alternative to regular materials.

The designer started the project as a challenge to explore bamboo as a material and he thinks bamboo’s sustainability can be exploited to make many different things, due to its structure, sturdiness, ease of growth and eco-friendliness.

Luxury carmake Audi's brand value and design concept are highly compatible with the summit. As the exclusive partner of the summit, Audi has appeared in the event for the third consecutive year, demonstrating its design concept and innovative achievement in high-end sustainable mobility, which is its pure electric SUV Q4 e-tron.

Audi has increasingly used more recycled materials in the production of parts, which are processed from recycled parts. It also puts sustainable design deep into every step of production detail.

FAW Audi has been deeply engaged in the Chinese market for 34 years and has a rich insight into the demands of Chinese users. The carmaker not only pays attention to the users, but also focuses on the long-term sustainable future.

Esther Francis, deputy general manager of FAW Audi sales company, said: "Audi has been striving to make the recycling concept an indispensable part of the work process, not only in product design, also from procurement to production, from sales to service and the reuse. The production process of the Audi Q4 e-tron is full of sustainability."

The Foshan MEB intelligent factory, which produces the Audi Q4 e-tron, has carried out the concept of environmental protection. The 420,000-square-meter photovoltaic project installed at the plant provides 33,000 megawatt-hour of renewable energy, reducing 17,394 tons of carbon dioxide emissions a year.

The plant adopts international leading new water treatment technology and the water reuse rate of the whole plant reaches more than 70 percent.

To drive sustainable mobility, FAW Audi has developed a clear electrification roadmap in an effort to realize the goal of providing Chinese users with a high-end electrification travel experience with both luxury quality and forward-looking technology. turning the sustainable vision into reality.

In the future, FAW Audi will continue to focus on the development of technology, digitization and sustainablility. The carmaker will further cultivate the Chinese market, communicate with Chinese customers with design language and bring more pure electric products as well as reshape the high-end sustainable mobility and experience.
