Most of them ends up on landfills and incinerators, what leads to pollution of air and water and also huge losses of resources. But what if there was an alternative? could you imagine a device that will convert those bottles into something you actually like?. Our company made this dream a reality with a simple device, that processes plastic bottles into cheap 3d printer filament. With three single steps – collect, process, print! – anyone can transform their garbage into anything they can dream of. This device not only reduces amount of waste, but also gives an attractive alternative for expensive printing materials... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

He said that from the moment of landing at the airport, only by the gate his plane burned more than 2 tons of aviation fuel! what a waste . We solved the problem that the entire aviation industry could not handle since the 1970s. If the ats is implemented the fuel cost savings only at three european airports: frankfurt, heathrow, parics will amount to 749. 400. 000 eur!. The following amounts of gases are released into the environment during aircraft taxiing procedures at these three european airports every year: hc - - hydrocarbons - 1. 602. 850 kg. Nox - carcinogenic nitric oxides - 4. 309. 050 kg. Co - lethal damp, carbon monoxide - 19. 315. 799 kg... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Cloop creates micro-enterprises in these communities and equips them with relatively low-cost and easy-to-use plastic recycling technology. Called cloopcenters, these community micro-enterprises are partnered with other enterprises in the private and public sector, who provide their plastic waste. This is processed through the cloopcenter and sold back to these enterprises in the form of upcycled plastic products... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Grey Tech wrote: We offer a solution towards water management with a different concept since we’re focusing primarily on wastewater. Given the social norm and failure to control the consumption of individuals we are focusing on a solution that would cater to the wastewater that is being generated by an average household. The concept is to tap out the wastewater component which is less toxic and can be reused. This includes wastewater originating from toilets (excluding human waste), bathtubs, kitchens sinks, laundry areas, generally called as greywater. Greywater if treated can be reused for several purposes i. E. Toilet flushes, landscaping, laundry, organic farming to name a few... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
