【推荐1】Imaging walking around a fashion shop. You see a beautiful leather bag and want to buy it. But it’s made from recycled (循环利用的) fruit and food rubbish. Would you still buy it?

Song Youyang, a 30-year-old material designer, works on developing such things. She studied material design at a university in Germany and now lives in Shanghai. When she was designing some new products (产品), she couldn’t find any right biomaterials to work with. So, she and her team decided to develop their own new material from fruit rubbish.

This material looks a lot like leather. It keeps the fruits’ taste, sense of touch and nice smell. Song and her team have used this new material to make fashion products such as bags, lamps and vases

The designer thought these products would be popular. Is fact, however, not many people have bought them. “Many people have their old ideas about biomaterials,” said Seng, “They think these materials are too expensive or of poor quality.” As a result, it’s quite difficult for these materials to become widely used. But Song still believes biomaterials will shape the future. She and her team continue to work on new types of “green” materials and products.
