Fruit Leather
Each year we throw away 1.3 billion tonnes of food. Currently 30% of the world's farmland is used to produce food that is wasted. Also 10% of all greenhouse gasses in rich countries is emitted by producing food that will never be eaten. The design duo 'Fruitleather Rotterdam' transforms fruit into leather-like material strong enough to be used in shoes, bags and other products. Source: EME
