According to the New York Weather Forecast, New York is on its 688th day without at least 1 inch of snowfall in Central Park as of 2 January 2024, well ahead of the second-longest streak of 400 snow-free days, which ended in 1998. In 2023, New York City experienced only light, sporadic snowfall, totalling just 2.3 inches, the lowest amount of snowfall since the mid-19th century. On average, New York City receives about 30 inches of snow per year, and last year’s snowfall was 92% below average. The last time New York City received less than 4 inches of snow was in 1913. Throughout 2023, the U.S., with the exception of areas like the Southeast, averaged at least five degrees warmer nationally and had a warm December, with the North having a snow-free Christmas as a result. Government officials say this is just a small part of the decades-long climate change.
Why?
Environmental Crisis
With extreme weather, melting glaciers, plastic pollution, and a significant increase in waste emissions, the environmental issues surrounding global warming have become increasingly prominent, endangering not only the balance of natural ecosystems but also human health and even threatening the future survival of humanity.
By 2050, the world’s oceans will contain more plastic than fish. Marine ecosystems are deteriorating. Plastic in the oceans is expected to quadruple.
All of the above makes us pay attention to the impact of environmental protection on human society. We need to take active action to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions.
Policy Support
The long-term goal of the Paris Agreement is to limit the increase in global average temperature to no more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to work towards limiting the temperature increase to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Economic Development
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) inflows, a tan all-time high, are expected to reach $50 trillion by 2025.
Consumer Perception
Data shows that more than61% of core Millennials (aged 27 to 32) are most likely to choose environmentally friendly products when shopping, and 60% will check the green certification of environmentally friendly packaging and labels.
All of this data tells us one thing：Sustainability, which has become the standard for brand business transformation.

C&T has undertaken a comprehensive review of the use of disposable packaging at each production site to reduce the use of disposable cartons, wooden boxes, inner pallets and other packaging materials. The current production lines are all using recyclable packaging to transfer products and reduce the number of times non-environmentally friendly materials are used.
At the same time, the storage locations of materials in the warehouse have been re-planned to reduce the impact of non-environmental factors in the transportation of materials.
What will C&T show at CES?
At CES, C&T brought more than 30 newly designed products to all brands, how to combine new products with environmental protection? Let’s find out before the show.
According to Pantone’s newly released 2024 trend colour, Peach Fuzz, Leatrice Eiseman said “In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a color radiant with warmth and modern elegance. A shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.”
PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz captures our desire to nurture ourselves and others. It’s a velvety gentle peach tone whose all-embracing spirit enriches mind, body, and soul.
C&T, as a flexible customizer of mobile cases at the forefront of fashion, has made a batch of Peach Fuzz coloured TPU cases with GRS eco-friendly material before leaving for the US.
In addition to the annual representative colour phone case, we also have a new technology combination – graphene material and TPU. graphene, as a very flexible and lightweight thermal conductive material, is used by C&T to make mobile phone cases, to help the phone in the use of the process of better heat conduction, to reduce the mobile phone wrapped in the case can not be very good heat dissipation leads to the reduction of the service life of the mobile phone.
In addition, C&T will also bring a memory foam computer bag to the CES exhibition. The memory foam computer bag has a good function of 15 seconds of rebound, which can maintain its shape and use effect for a long time. It has a good shock-absorbing effect, which can effectively alleviate the impact of shock and vibration from the outside on the computer, providing additional protection. It has good thermal insulation properties and can prevent the computer from overheating or overcooling to a certain extent. Especially in the cold winter, memory foam computer bags can provide extra warmth for the computer.
Although memory foam has good shock absorption and protection functions, it is relatively lightweight and easy to carry. This makes memory foam computer bags ideal for business trips, travel, or school.
If you want to know more about the new products, please contact us or just come to CES to meet us!
