In recent years, the rapid development of the global economy has also brought about problems such as energy shortage and environmental pollution. In the face of increasingly severe resource and environmental constraints, the world is also changing the development model of traditional industrial civilization and advocating circular economy in its development strategy. At present, in the industrial field, billions of dollars worth of defective auto parts are destroyed every year, and the serious loss of value in the automobile industry has become a worldwide problem.

The AWAKE team of Mercedes-Benz Daimler Technology and the top-grade design team launched an activity to design and utilize discarded auto parts to create an ecological model of sustainable development.

Top grade design defines the design direction of "organic, regenerative and scientific and technological future life". It gives full play to the designer's creativity, finds multiple product carriers, and uses moderate design methods to integrate waste accessories into products. Each product has its own characteristics, but at the same time it conforms to the life philosophy and quality advocated by Mercedes-Benz. It also integrates natural materials and traditional crafts to be unified and harmonious.
