# Cellulose Fiber Eco Lamps 'FRED' Aims to Be the World's First 100% Sustainable Lamp By Cadhla Gray | Published 2015-10-12 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eco-lamps References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1364246949/back-fred) These eco lamps have an interesting [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zimple) campaign that invites supporters to back the lights in order to make it the world's first 100% sustainable lamp. With the slogan, "The more you back FRED the greener he gets," the designers successfully anthropomorphize the lamp and encourage people to support eco-friendly design. 'FRED' has a visually interesting structure, with a corrugated design that originally used MDF and [recycled components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apeel). The next step with funding, is to make FRED with ECOR -- a material created from pressing cellulose fibers of wood, paper and grasses together. With even more funding, the halogens will be replaced and eventually, he will develop into a 100% recycled line of eco lamps. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sustainable Lighting:** There is a growing trend towards sustainable lighting solutions that use recycled materials and renewable energy sources. - **Crowdfunding for Eco-friendly Design:** Crowdfunding platforms are being used to support the development of eco-friendly designs, allowing consumers to directly contribute to sustainable initiatives. - **Material Innovation:** Innovators are exploring new materials, such as ECOR made from cellulose fibers, to create environmentally friendly products with improved performance and aesthetics. ### Who This Affects Most - **Lighting:** The lighting industry can capitalize on the trend towards sustainable lighting by developing innovative products that use recycled materials and energy-efficient technologies. - **Crowdfunding:** The crowdfunding industry can benefit from the increasing demand for eco-friendly designs by providing a platform for individuals and businesses to support sustainable initiatives. - **Materials Manufacturing:** The materials manufacturing industry has an opportunity to disrupt the market by creating sustainable materials like ECOR that can be used in a wide range of products, from furniture to packaging. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-lamp.md) - [Glowing Organic-Waste Sustainable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanova-terra.md) - [Organic Light Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lapso.md) - [Eco-Friendly Textured Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-lamp-series.md) - [Organic Paper-Like Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito.md) - [Ecological Dual Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-light.md) - [Recycled Paper Pulp Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-lamp1.md) - [Sustainable Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geolectric-lantern.md) - [Wooden Sustainable Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodo.md)
