With an aim to riase public awareness on environmental protection, three PolyU design graduates and a current design student have formed a social enterprise, ATB Auto Art, to conduct upcycling of auto parts. The team consists of Telly Woo Sze-wing, Beatrice Lau Chui-wai, Kei Lo Wah-kei and Alex Yiu Chi-fai. Through exploring and experimenting, the team has transformed discarded auto parts into artistically designed furniture and domestic items, and was named the champion of the Hong Kong Social Enterprise Challenge 2010.
