# Plastic Bottle Aplifiers The Green's Voice Speaker Reuses Refuse Material for an Eco Audio Device By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-10-12 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greens-voice References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/greens-voice-speaker-extends-the-life-of-empty-plastic-bottles/) Environmentally friendly manufacturing is not an all-or-nothing exercise. The Green's Voice sound system demonstrates that once the more complex parts of cutting-edge products are produced, they can rely on existing objects to complete the design. Here we have a [speaker concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentatonic-1) by Cheng Ya-Fang and Lin Nien-An that requires an additional vessel for amplification. With an abundance of discarded plastic water bottles cropping up in populated areas worldwide, it's the designers' brilliant idea to incorporate those into the finished product. You'd buy the [biodegradable PLA-molded](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beosound-a1-3rd-gen) Green's Voice audio accessory, complete with its pliable rubber cradle. It can be fitted as a cap over almost any [recycled canteen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anew) and it uses the enclosed space inside to enhance its sound. An innovative paper battery guarantees that this gadget will play for ten times longer than most others. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Environmentally Friendly Manufacturing:** The Green's Voice sound system demonstrates the potential for using existing objects to create eco-friendly products. - **Upcycling Plastic Waste:** The concept of incorporating discarded plastic water bottles into audio accessories presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the recycling industry. - **Sustainable Design:** The use of biodegradable materials and innovative batteries in the Green's Voice speaker showcases the potential for sustainable product design. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** The Green's Voice speaker concept presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the consumer electronics industry through its use of plastic bottle amplification. - **Recycling:** The incorporation of discarded plastic water bottles into the design of the Green's Voice speaker concept highlights a potential disruptive innovation opportunity in the recycling industry. - **Green Technology:** The Green's Voice speaker, with its use of biodegradable materials and innovative battery, represents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the green technology industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Waste Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gomi.md) - [Recycled Plastic Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-plastic-portable-speakers.md) - [Posh Power-Free Smartphone Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amplifying-speaker.md) - [Wine Bottle-Resembling Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-echo.md) - [Repairable Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-speaker.md) - [Eco‑modular Audio Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mynd-speaker.md) - [Repairable 3D-Printed Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maker-hardware-ttd3000.md) - [Nature-Inspired Multifunctional Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-echo.md) - [Renewable Material Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-marley-get-together.md)
