Why do brake pad wholesalers exist? It is because car brake pads are actually a consumable item on the car, and the market demand is particularly high. However, similarly, the number of brake pads discarded each year is even more astonishing. Take a look at this report from Yangzhou Evening News in 2013- "1.4 million brake pads scrapped annually in Nanjing due to heavy metal causing soil sterilization" (link address: http://news.xinhuanet.com/environment/2013-04/30/c_124649127.htm ）It can be imagined that Nanjing alone has such a huge quantity, and the total number of brake pads scrapped every year in the country would be terrifying!

Is it true that after using the brake pads, they can only take the abandoned route? Isn't there a better solution? I searched and searched, and finally found a refreshing innovation!

The environmental art and design competition held in Shanghai in 2013, the award-winning work "V Haima" was made of discarded brake pads! Let's take a look at this stunning work.

It seems that as long as there is enough creativity, waste brake pads are not nowhere to go. Look at this seahorse, it's lifelike, not only beautiful, but also environmentally friendly. Is it just that the waste brake pads will produce toxic gases due to long-term storage? After all, brake pads contain heavy metal antimony! Especially for semi metal and less metal types of brake pads. Once the antimony element is inhaled by the human body, it can lead to poisoning and even cause functional damage to the heart and liver when it reaches a certain amount. As for this, the creativity as an ornamental is still not perfect enough.

Do you have any better ideas? Where are your discarded brake pads going?
