To bring forth new products, inspiration is the first step, to be followed by the relentless efforts of the designers in realizing the ideas. Designer from the Innoboon International, Zoey CHU, described, “Designers have to grasp every spark that appears from the micro-level.” Her “Sustainably Yours! Biodegradable Sponge Cloth” stemmed from a sudden idea: "Why are eco-friendly products always in dull colors? People who like vibrant colors can also give back to nature," she said.
 

New Era, New Possibilities
The sponge cloths are made of 70% Wood Cellulose and 30% Cotton, able to wick up to 20 times their weight in liquids, making them capable to handling a wide array of messes. The cloth features various patterns to allow users to showcase their personal tastes by selecting their favourites.

Zoey believes that advancing technology has increased the capability of eco-friendly products to be molded and developed. "Previously, plastic was more or less necessary in a product for durability, but now wood pulp and cotton are resilient enough. Corn-based Polylactic Acid is also an alternative," said Zoey. Eco-friendliness does not require compromises; with the dedication to exploration, designers can find ways to achieve it, perfectly combined with aesthetics and functionality.
