The 2010 shoe line of Simple Shoes will include their first collection of biodegradable footwear. The outsoles and midsoles break down to dirt in a landfill in 20 years.

Plus they are made from sustainable materials including hemp uppers, recycled car tire bottoms, organic cotton linings, recycled plastic bottles and foot beds, and water based glues.

Simple Shoes developed EcoPure which is a pellet mixture containing tiny microbes. These microbes begin to eat away at the compounds that hold the materials together until what is left is dirt. It is Ecopure that is added to the midsoles and outsoles…

The Ecotech Solar Jacket by Zegna Sport looks cool and stylish and it keeps you warm in an eco friendly way. It has solar panels on the upper sleeves that are used to power up a heating device to keep you nice and warm.

It has a classic fit, removable windskirt, and hidden magnets for hood attachement.

To make this jacket totally eco friendly you will be pleased to know that its made from recycled plastic! - 100% The whole jacket can be washed along with the textile leads that distribute solar power to the rest of the jacket.

The Eco 7 folds up to fit in your luggage. Ever wanted to go far away on an airplane or train but couldn’t take your bike because it was too bulky to store it in the cargo hold? Well with the Eco 7 bike you won’t have a problem.

The parts are easy to assemble and dissemble. Even the wheels fold up! There are other folding bikes on the market, but they are not as compact because the wheels do not fold. Here you can see the spokes of the wheel folding into the rim.

The frame folds onto itself too. The brakes, crank, handlebars and chain are also removable and collapsible.

I can really use something like this as I have no storage space in my condo!!

Its designed by Victor Aleman in Mexico. There is no word on when its going to be produced for market. See more of at Behance Network.
