# Eco Self-Chilling Coolers The E-Bag By Pearl | Published 2008-10-01 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eco-self-cooling-bags-e-bag-by-apor-puspoki References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/e-bag-with-cooling-system-by-apor-puspoki) The E-Bag is a cooler that can keep your lunch or drinks cool without any ice packs. The [cooling energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everfrost-cooler) is derived from swinging the bag to and fro as the user walks along. The [bag's handle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electronic-handbags), which is attached to a dynamo, rotates which charges a battery. The cooling action is derived through Peltier technology which is like a solid state heat pump for heat transference. Three LED lights indicate cooling status. Apor Püspöki is the designer who came up with the E-Bag. He is a product design student at Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design in Budapest, Hungary. He said, “"I wanted to make a point about the way urban life goes with increased energy consumption. We have responsible design thinking." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Self-chilling Coolers:** The development of self-chilling coolers eliminates the need for ice packs and offers an innovative cooling solution. - **Peltier Technology:** The use of Peltier technology in coolers opens up possibilities for efficient heat transference and energy-saving cooling solutions. - **Urban Energy Consumption:** Addressing increasing urban energy consumption through responsible design thinking leads to the development of eco-friendly products like the E-Bag. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Self-chilling coolers can revolutionize the food and beverage industry by providing convenient and sustainable cooling solutions for on-the-go consumers. - **Product Design:** The integration of Peltier technology in product design opens up new possibilities for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly consumer products. - **Sustainable Living:** The discussion around urban energy consumption and responsible design presents opportunities for industries focused on sustainable living and eco-friendly solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compressor-Equipped Cooler Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chillbee-sofichill.md) - [Compact On-The-Go Freezable Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-market-tote.md) - [Backpack-Compatible Cooler Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooler-bag.md) - [Backpack Car Fridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/litheli-frozenpack.md) - [Recyclable Chilled Grocery Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshbag-recyclable-cool-bag.md) - [Self-Chilling Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-can.md) - [Convenient Freezable Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-cooler.md) - [Playful Freezable Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playtime-lunch-box.md) - [Self-Heating Messenger Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/willtex-willcook.md)
