ETHO, a cabin-sized piece of luggage, focuses not only on modern aesthetics but also on the sustainability of the materials. The suitcase shell, for example, is made of recycled aluminium and the corner constructions, which provide improved impact behaviour, are made of recycled plastic. The handle and interior are made from upcycled cork. At the end of their service life, all materials are 100 per cent recyclable. Furthermore, practical security for the traveller is provided by a modern TSA lock.
Statement by the Jury
The thoughtfully designed ETHO case leaves an impression with its consistent consideration of environmental protection in the selection and use of materials.
