Fossil-free crib
This simple crib cost $28,885 to make—because it was made with zero fossil fuels
On February 13, during the "Makers of the Future" event in Amsterdam, Vattenfall revealed a fossil-free crib, made without the use of oil, gas or coal. Something that is almost impossible today, because we use fossil fuels for almost everything we produce.Cindy Kroon, Director Customers at Vattenfall Netherlands opened "Makers of the Future" with a hopeful message. “We want to enable fossil-free living within one generation. Industry is indispensable in reaching that goal. That is why we investigated to what extent it would be possible to make a completely fossil-free product in 2020, without corresponding CO2 emissions. The crib - a symbol for the next generation - is an everyday product that incorporates many different materials, which made the challenge bigger and also quite costly. But it is possible, and it serves as a tangible, symbolic object to be able to discuss the theme with each other better.”
