#4 No dummies here: Renewable mannequins debut in Seoul

In South Korea, the sportswear brand of chemical and textile giant Kolon Industries has developed renewable and biodegradable mannequins for its showrooms.

The new mannequins will be tested at Kolon Sports’ Hannamin store in Seoul before being expanded to five or six additional sites.
