Energy Seed is a collection bin for batteries that uses leftover power to light the attached LED streetlamps. The design’s aesthetic takes its cue from a flowering plant. When people deposit their batteries, it is akin to planting a seed that later, when it’s dark, turns into a flower. It also encourages people to discard their batteries in a responsible manner.
"Energy Seed is a beautiful idea which really opens the public's eyes to the pollution discarded batteries can cause if they're not fully recycled."
--Rosario Costa, creative director, LEGO System A/S (Denmark)
