    According to foreign media reports, the environmental protection team of the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands will build the Luca - a sporty compact EV made from bio-composite materials including plastic waste recycled from the ocean - as its sixth-generation concept car


    .


    As the world's population approaches 8 billion, humanity needs to do more to reduce resource consumption and better dispose of human-generated waste, which is currently dumped into rivers and oceans, air in incineration plants, or collected for emissions Methane landfill


    .


    The idea was to use as much waste as possible when building the Luca concept


    .


    The Luca will be powered by two wheeled engines (total output of 15kW) and six battery packs (battery-to-tire efficiency up to 92%)


    .


    As for the interior, the Luca concept will have two custom seats, and given that the design team felt that putting an infotainment display on the front of the car was a wasteful idea, the car will utilize smartphones for information and entertainment for the passengers inside the car demand


    .


    Construction of the car has already begun, and the team aims to complete it by June
