Eco Factor: Zero-emission electric sports car created from discarded cigarette cases.
To make a dramatic statement for this year’s World No Tobacco Day a team of undergraduate students in Xi’an, China have unveiled an all-electric sports car with a shell made entirely from recycled cigarette packets. The eco-friendly sports car weighs about 300kg and quite surprisingly, the car actually runs.
The sports car was made using 10,280 discarded cigarette packets and took eight months to take shape. The creator was helped in collecting discarded cigarette cases by more than 2500 students.
