This admirable concept brings safety and eco-consciousness together in a neat, [good-looking design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumos-nyxel). In fact, the Anirudha Surabhi 'Kranium' helmet was thought to be so admirable that it was awarded a 20,000 pound grant from The James Dyson Fellowship. Currently seeking production partners, this is certainly not the last we'll hear of Surabhi. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Recyclable Bike Helmets:** Developing bike helmets that are made from recyclable materials and promote eco-consciousness. - **Safety and Sustainability:** Combining safety features and sustainable design elements to create eco-friendly bike helmets. - **Innovative Helmet Design:** Exploring new and creative designs for bike helmets that prioritize both safety and aesthetics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sporting Goods:** Opportunity for sporting goods companies to manufacture and market recyclable bike helmets for environmentally-conscious consumers. - **Sustainable Packaging:** The development of recyclable bike helmets opens up opportunities for sustainable packaging companies to create eco-friendly packaging solutions for transporting and storing the helmets. - **Industrial Design:** Industrial designers can capitalize on the trend of recyclable bike helmets by creating innovative and stylish helmet designs that prioritize safety and sustainability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eco-Friendly Biomaterial Cycling Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomaterial-cycling-helmet.md) - [Recycled Material Cyclist Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poc-myelin-bike-helmet.md) - [Scallop Shell-Constructed Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shellmet.md) - [Customized 3D-Printed Bike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kav-bike-helmets.md) - [Flatpack Cyclist Safety Equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-helmet-concept.md) - [Origami-Style Cyclist Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raba-helmet.md) - [Helmet-Secured Bike Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-board-helmet.md) - [Brain Protection Awareness Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-protection-helmet.md) - [Two-Part Helmet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helmet-concept.md)
