Eco running is the perfect activity for sustainability-minded consumers who want to remain fit, healthy, and strong. The movement has been gaining some traction, especially with the emergence of the concept of plogging—a combination of jogging and picking up litter which started as an organized activity around 2016 in Sweden. Now, designers are embracing ideation around eco running with new tools that support it.
In 2023, Fountain Studio debuts the JIP-UP which is a wearable sports band that helps you “detect and track your plogging adventure” while providing you with a tool to pick up trash efficiently and safely along the way. The design features a small PVC pocket where you can place stuff and a tong that you can use to pick up trash.
