About The Entry

Eco-Pom Pack is a cardholder made entirely from bio-based materials that weaves sustainable design naturally into people's daily lives. It reinforces users' environmental consciousness subtly with every touch, turning mindful eco-friendly choices into effortless daily habits.

It adopts an innovative approach to upcycling waste through material transformation. Using apple pomace as its feedstock, it produces mycelium leather with a natural apple-derived texture through mycelial fermentation and purification. This process breaks away from conventional recycling models by upgrading waste into a daily essential for frequent, everyday use. Additionally, it features a deconstructed apple graphic on the surface that displays the skin, flesh and core together, visualizing the full cycle of apple juicing, residue recovery and nutrient absorption by mycelium. Users will feel the apple come alive at the intersection of touch and sight as they glide their fingers across the leather's texture and look up to see the deconstructed apple graphic, bringing the distinctive story behind the material to life.

Eco-Pom Pack works as both a magnetic card holder and a magnetic phone stand in one versatile design. This dual-use design boosts its daily usage frequency, keeps sustainability at the forefront of everyday life, and delivers greater convenience and portability for on-the-go use.

Through its harmonious blend of materials, visuals and functionality, Eco-Pom Pack offers a thoughtful response to environmental protection while elevating the quality of daily life.
