Coke design concept is green-friendly

Designed by Harc Lee.

A convex logo substitutes colorfully sprayed can. Naked can help to reduce air and water pollution occurred in its coloring process. It also reduces energy and effort to separate toxic color paint from aluminum in recycling process. Huge amount of energy and paint required to manufacture colored cans will be saved. Instead of toxic paint, manufacturers process aluminum with a pressing machine that indicates brand identity on surface.

Walk and create energy

Pavegen Systems at interbuild exhibition.  Flexible paving slabs that generte energy from people’s footsteps to power street lighting, wayfinding solutions, and other low energy applications. 

Basically, these “paving slabs” can generate “as much as 2.1 watts of electricity per hour” simply by having people walk on them.  This kind of tech is very impressive and surely stands out in the “be green” world we live in today.  Pavegen Systems is currently testing it out in East London and they plan to have them installed more widely sometime in 2010.
