The winners of Reshape 15, a design competition for wearable tech have come up with the Spongesuit: 3D printed wearable technology aiming to âundo the harms of mankindâs technological advancements.â
Minimising your carbon footprint as you swim, the Spongesuit is designed to be âenvironmentally proactive, economically sustainable and intelligently manufactured, combining cutting edge 3D printing and nano-scale clean-tech material research.â
Also, itâs gorgeous.
Made from a sugar base, the porous material traps everything but water, effectively separating and storing contaminants within itself. The pollutants remain in the suit until heated to temperatures of over 1,000 degrees Celsius, so you wonât go releasing them by accident.
For now, this futuristic eco-bikini is still just a concept, but that doesnât mean we canât fawn over it. Beautiful and good for the planet? Sold.
