The Umbrella, which is shown in the above figure, is made on the basis of “Cradle-to-Cradle” principle.

This new innovative concept of Umbrella is developed on the basis of Environmental-Conscious, functionality, durability, ease of use, aesthetic appearance, provision of repair, sustainability, and cost effectiveness.

In this type of umbrella A thin Blinds which are used for covering windows are used. The materials which are used for manufacture of Blinds are PVC, Wood, Bamboo, aluminum and fabric materials etc… of Thickness .5 - 1 mm. which are light in weight, waterproof and eco- friendly, these blinds are used for protecting from rain as shown in the above fig. Plastic or Wooden material is used for making supporting arms, domed shaped structure is constructed with the help of thread, Here the Blinds are cut into a required shape(Square, triangular etc…) and wrapped one over the other in a circular way as shown in the above fig. All Materials used in this construction can be recycled and used for different purpose and also some of the materials are Bio-Degradable (Wood, Fabrics, Aluminum, Bamboo etc…).

One more important factor in this Umbrella is that, Here we can use the materials which are already used for windows covering and discarded after some time because of breaking etc…

Both handle and domed shape structures are having threads so that they can be assembled and disassembled easily. When Umbrella is in use the waterproof material, which is protecting us rain is pulled around the domed shaped structure and it is zipped. Handle of Umbrella is telescopic in nature. Handle can be adjusted depending on the height of the person who is using it (i.e. from small kid to elder person). This mechanism will give lot of grip to the user. There is no chance of flying of Umbrella during wind. We can dissemble this whole Umbrella into 2 parts. That is supporting arms and Blinds.
