Worm-box that transforms domestic waste

Worm Revolution wrote: We live in a world of resources extraction and waste: 99% of our food is not organic, so it requires chemical inputs that come from mining. Moreover, 99 percent of the stuff we buy is trashed within 6 months. Luckily worms are our allies to solve this issue!. With our worm compost bin, we help citizens to transform easily organic waste into natural fertilizers. By reducing their waste footprint, our customers produce a high value resource to grow their own healthy food, to share or to sell. . Our product is easy to use, hygienic and fun. It is made of non-treated wood and is manufactured digitally (with an automatic wood cutter), allowing to produce it locally and at a custom size... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Re-inventing take away food packaging

Prêt-à-Pack (PAP) wrote: Prêt-à-pack is a lifestyle changing daily accessory that you won’t leave home without. In our co-effort attempt to reduce plastic waste, pap is your bring your own, pack and go food container, aiming to reduce the use of single-use plastic containers and advocate positive change in consumers’ habit. The idea is to turn a fundamental, uncomplicated concept, with ingenious design, to tackle current plastic waste problems. Our aim is to instill pap and its concept into our everyday lives, for one day becomes a habit so natural that we will unconsciously diminish the use of single-use plastic, helping to unlock the issue of accumulating plastic waste on our planet...

Seaweet wrote: Forests are becoming scarce, soils are getting drier and temperature is getting hotter than ever. And at a moment of a climate crisis we still need to feed 10 billion people in 2050. Either we adapt just like every specie did throughout the process of natural evolution or we inevitably face extinction. Seaweet wants to take part on this change by providing the most sustainable life source – microalgae. It doesn’t require arable land to grow, needs 6 times less water than maize and has more protein and iron than meat. At seaweet, we design microalgae based irresistible superfoods to every person that wants to eat in a sustainable and healthy way.

URBiome wrote: Climate change adaptation is acknowledged as one of the main challenges faced by mankind. As cities are becoming the dominant human setting, many local authorities are trying to deal with this issue by developing thorough adaptation plans. However, most cities still lack implemented plans, and even when they exist, they tend to be an administrative tools scarcely used by the common citizen. Thus, this is the perfect opportunity to implement an integrated web-sig platform for home searching, that shows the most relevant urban climate change-related layers, such as pollutant exposure, sea level rise or the urban heat island effect, as translated from the plethora of satellite remote sensing data available...

Micro Catch

Micro Catch wrote: Micro catch is a solution for filtering microfibers during the washing cycle of synthetic clothes in our homes - preventing these from ending up in our oceans. Our innovation lies within (1) the development of an innovative technology that will not only contain/filter the microfibers but also degrade them and; (2) doing it in a way to allow for multiple product applications. We will develop a solution with plastic degradation capabilities and self-cleaning function that can be integrated directly in washing machines (and, in the future, other applications such as waste water treatment facilities, food processing water treatment, etc. )...

Reef - Reactions For Efficiency wrote: Nowadays, the world still get 83% of our energy from fossil fuels. This is not sustainable! . In this sense, the european union approved in 2018 the red ii: a 7% quota for 2nd generation biofuels in transport. Now, there is a huge demand (by law) and all fuel distributors concerned about the commercial supply of this second generation biofuels. . We, from reef, have developed a smart way to convert residues from forest, agriculture or urbans activities into bioethanol. Despite applications in food or cosmetic industries, the initial focus will be as additive to be blended with gasoline as there is a huge potential of ghg savings! and also: up to 25% there is no need of any engine changes. ...
