Industry-first Coffee Grounds Back Cover
It's estimated that we consume over 2 billion cups of coffee every day worldwide, with millions of tons of waste coffee grounds going to landfills each year. These waste grounds decompose and produce harmful greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide. As a pioneer in advanced materials with a commitment to the environment, TECNO developed the new CAMON 30 Series LOEWE. Design Edition with a back cover constructed using waste coffee grounds as one of the raw materials in a creative effort to reduce the environmental impact of coffee consumption. Achieving USDA Bio-based certification status, the innovative, industry-first coffee grounds phone back cover coating is composed of more than 25% bio-based material, bringing users a device that showcases both their eye for style and their passion for protecting our planet.
The entire manufacturing process of the coffee grounds back cover uses no organic solvents, no additional water consumption, and is entirely solar powered. This innovative approach allows the product to outperform traditional synthetic and animal leathers in terms of appearance, durability, texture, feel and environmental friendliness. The cover not only provides a luxurious touch, but also UV resistance, as well as temperature and humidity resistance. For every phone cover manufactured, approximately 0.8g of waste coffee grounds will be used. According to the whole life cycle assessment of coffee grounds leather products (ISO 14040:2006 and ISO 14044:2006), the recycled coffee grounds back cover reduces the consumption of non-living resources (fossil fuels) by approximately 49.6% and the contribution of carbon dioxide emissions to global warming by 46.3% compared to traditional leather cover materials over a full life cycle. Overall, the design not only reduces the waste of water, but also reduces the pollution caused to the environment by waste and organic solvents.
"The CAMON 30 Series LOEWE. Design Edition exemplifies TECNO's dedication to creating stylish, environmentally friendly products," said TECNO's Product Design Team. "By incorporating waste coffee grounds into the back cover, we've crafted a unique, Eco-conscious smartphone that stands as a design masterpiece and a pioneer in sustainability."
"The LOEWE. Design Studio brings a rich history of excellence in product design in consumer electronics, particularly in premium products," said Marco A. Mueller, Director Design and Design Management at LOEWE Design Studio. "LOEWE's emphasis on high-quality design and innovative technology aligns perfectly with TECNO's forward-thinking approach. This partnership allows both companies to leverage each other's strengths, creating products that stand out in the competitive smartphone market."
