Cycling is a great way to stay active, keep pace with everything and at the same time take care of the environment. However, it is important to remember about safety: anything happens on the roads, and cycling the helmet reduces the risk of head injury to 85%. If you are not an avid cyclist and use city bikes, hire a helmet is so-so an option: it is not very hygienic, and not everyone will fit. American Isis Slate from the Pratt Industrial Institute offered a solution to the problem: an ultra-light folding helmet made of durable waterproof cardboard.
EcoHelmet is designed on the principle of a fan with a variety of sections, resembling a honeycomb. This structure allows you to evenly distribute the impact of the impact, reliably protect the cyclist and adjust the size of the helmet itself. In EcoHelmet you can stay in the rain for up to three hours and not be afraid that the cardboard will limp. For a combination of functionality and environmental friendliness, the invention received an award in the field of industrial design James Dyson Award. The helmet is fully recyclable - the designer even suggests installing special containers at the bicycle rental sites in order to arrange waste-free processing of used helmets into new ones. The cost of producing EcoHelmet is minimal, so you can sell them for less than five dollars. Helmets plan to distribute directly when renting a bike, and later cyclists around the world are likely to be able to order EcoHelmet online.
