###Awards Introduction The German Green Product Award is an international competition for creative and sustainable design products and concepts held regularly every year in Berlin, Germany. The competition is currently the largest competition in the field of sustainable design in Europe and is highly supported by embassies of various countries. So far, 35 countries or regions have participated in the award. Since 2013, the Green Products Awards have been designed to recognize sustainable and innovative products and services that have been launched on the market and provide a platform for manufacturers, design studios and agents to showcase their products in the German market. ###Category: 1. sports
Whether it's competitive sports, hobbies, temporary fitness exercises or work-life balancing sports, sports play an increasingly important role in our lives. But what fabrics are in yoga mats, diving masks and running gear? Under what conditions do you make balls, running shoes, skateboards or golf clubs? Where are bicycles, badminton rackets and canoes produced? Are sports equipment selected for clubs or schools based on sustainability? When it comes to sports equipment, we always have frequent direct and regular physical contact-usually sweating, so these issues become important. In addition, sporting goods are often a status symbol and are rarely cheap. 2. kitchen
The kitchen is a core space of social life. Sustainable kitchen products are characterized by: saving electricity, gas and water; using sustainable materials, innovation, ergonomics... This is the product category for preparation, storage and enjoyment-indoor and outdoor. Examples submitted: kitchen furniture, sinks, appliances, cookware, refrigerators, kitchen accessories, pottery, tableware, cleaning products, storage containers, etc. 3. Buildings and small houses
How will we live and work in the future? If 40% of energy consumption is caused by buildings, then the densification of cities will lead to higher real estate and rental prices, and changes in family and working conditions have made home purchases obsolete in the classic sense, then now is the time for a new approach! In this category, sustainable, modular and possibly even temporary buildings are sought-existing solutions and concepts. 4. fashion
Clothing is our second skin. Despite this, the fashion industry is still considered one of the most harmful industries to the environment. Taking advantage of groundbreaking innovative examples of sustainable design requires changing the status quo and developing new processes, materials, innovative dyeing techniques and usage concepts. The choice of production locations and the ability to repair and recycle them also play an important role. This is the category of designs and new collections for coats, jackets, capes, dresses, street wear, swimming gear, underwear, jewelry and jewelry. 5. Beauty and personal care
Sustainable personal care products such as perfumes, cosmetics, masks, plasters, creams, shower products, deodorants, hair care, hygiene products, razors... Even though its market share is growing steadily, it is still a niche market. Winners in this category have one or more of the following characteristics, such as: using natural ingredients, being vegan, no animal testing, and no synthetic dyes or spices. 6. office
Creating an inspiring work environment is a challenge, especially when it comes to new forms of work. As a result, this category already includes services used to plan for a sustainable work environment. Of course, equipment should avoid negative impacts on the environment, use healthy materials and recommend the use of energy-saving equipment. Components that promote aspects such as comfort and user satisfaction (such as good sound and lighting) are also useful for maintaining health and improving performance and productivity. If these solutions and concepts can be used flexibly and can benefit over the long term throughout their life cycle, they can gain the upper hand economically. Lounge rooms, desks, chairs, meeting areas, silencers, leisure islands, floors, lighting systems and any technical equipment all require consumables to promote a new work culture. 7. children
Children are the legacy of our future, and indeed all children can obey them, because a healthier world should be our focus. But we have an equal category that is dedicated to everything children grow up, so it involves concepts and solutions with great materials that grow with them (in terms of size or type of use or customization, modularity) that have educational value. We are looking for ecological furniture, toys, cutlery, clothing and equipment, or games and projects to make them interested in sustainable living and grow into active green people. Register your product or concept today to inspire and support our children! 8. building components
Although the building category is dedicated to the building itself, sustainable building components (existing solutions and concepts) that are relevant to the building itself are sought in this category. The second step is to integrate the most fully submitted components into a prototype of a green modular micro-house. This category applies only to floors, walls, insulation, exterior wall or roof systems, bathrooms and kitchens, supply technologies (sanitation, ventilation, heating and energy) and product and service levels building automation systems. 9. liquidity

The freestyle category is submitted for awards that cross the boundaries of other categories, span multiple industries, or are simply not suitable for other categories. Sustainable cross-sectoral development includes, for example, solutions and concepts for forestry, agriculture and horticulture, automation innovation, artificial intelligence, supply chain traceability tools, carbon dioxide emission calculators, recovery systems, recovery mechanisms, and production equipment. 11. packaging
Whether it's product, food, medical or transportation packaging... The EU shows 910 million tons of packaging waste every year. The impact potential of sustainable packaging is huge!这一类别的提交物的特点是。材料创新、减少材料的使用、使用可持续的颜色或涂层方法、回收系统、可回收性、可堆肥性、可追踪和透明的供应链。
12.室内和生活方式
人们将大部分时间都花在室内，所以我们称之为“室内装饰的一代”。这种生活方式可能导致室内空气污染(例如，通过材料蒸发)。我们周围的内部环境不仅影响我们的健康，还影响我们的心情和幸福感。此外，更小的公寓，家庭办公室和更频繁的搬家导致了不同的要求，从而重新定义了我们的生活空间及其设备。为了提供未来的居住空间(包括阳台/露台和花园)，人们寻求环保，节能，可维修的家具，固定装置，电器和家用电器，灯具，配件，油漆等的解决方案和概念。
13.新材料
我们星球上的原材料储备正在稳步减少，而碳排放量和温室气体却在增加，因此从循环经济的角度讲，资源的使用和保护已成为当务之急。因为通过这种方式可以在生命周期的任何阶段创建新材料，最终，材料本身就是它的来源-您只需要寻找开始并思考“结束”即可。 资源消耗，来源，可用性，运输路线，使用寿命或材料特性(重量，弹性，电导率，电导率等)提供了进一步的方法。我们正在扩展材料和(非常重要的)原型数据库，并期待新的材料应用，例如 来自蘑菇，水果，藻类，松针，海草，灰烬，可用于建筑，室内装饰，时尚，移动性，包装和许多其他项目。
14.消费品
快速消费品影响我们的日常生活。它们中的许多在日常使用中，并且大多数被消耗并影响我们的健康，环境，并且通过它们的包装，占包装的很大一部分。因此，我们正在寻找清洁产品，化妆品，盥洗用品，食品和饮料，以将消费者的购买行为转变为合乎道德，环保且可能本地制造的产品。
