Today, the issue of plastic waste is a significant concern across various industries. Plastic is a commonly used material in electronic products, contributing to the growing problem of waste. However, this new sustainable air cooler addresses this issue by utilizing eco-friendly and recyclable materials. The product can be constructed using different types of bamboo, with conventional handling and craft techniques, which adds a modern yet distinctly Indian aesthetic. This innovative product opens up new avenues for electronic design, promoting a greener future.
