Read more about it, and take a glance at last week's winning re-used umbrella couture design! Thanks to our judges, our readers, all of our entrants, The Sustainable Style Foundation, and I.D. Magazine for giving us the chance to imagine smart, beautiful sustainable futures! If you'd like to see the designs in person, RSVP for our December event in NYC, celebrating the release of I.D.'s New and Notable issue, featuring our finalists.

perfectly designed - technically. very nice. But ... polypropylene is a petrochemical plastic and is not really cradle to cradle. Plastics take about 400-500 jears to degrade in nature. Recycling is always a downcycling because the material quality always reduces. Why not use bio-plastics for canopy and frame. That ist really sustainable!
