In recent years, the global economy has developed rapidly, but it also brings problems such as energy shortage and environmental pollution. In the face of increasingly severe resource and environmental constraints, the world is also changing the development strategy of traditional industrial civilization and advocating circular economy. At present, in the industrial field, billions of dollars worth of defective auto parts are destroyed every year, and the serious loss of auto industry value has become a worldwide problem.
The AWAKE team of Mercedes-Benz Daimler Technology and the top grade design team launched an activity to design and utilize discarded auto parts, aiming to create an ecological model of sustainable development.
Top grade design defines the design direction of "organic, renewable and scientific and technological future life", gives full play to the designer's creativity, finds a number of product carriers, and integrates waste accessories into the product with appropriate design techniques. Each product has its own characteristics, but at the same time it conforms to the life concept and quality advocated by Mercedes-Benz. It also integrates natural materials and traditional craftsmanship to unify and harmonize.
