Gamifying recycling to educate consumers

Bingoing wrote: Contamination levels of recyclable waste are as high as 50% in some urban areas, resulting in increasing costs and penalties, and also lost opportunity for revenue. Compared to the 50% target set by eu for 2023, yield from recycling including energy recovery is currently at 34% for plastics - there's still a long way to go. We believe that one of the root causes of this situation is lack of proper awareness among household consumers, who are willing to do the right thing but require more knowledge and tools. We want to address this knowledge gap with a fun and exciting solution. Bingoing teaches consumers about better waste management habbits, with a fun, social and competitive set of games...

Green shopping education

Green shopping education wrote: As a matter of fact, waste has major negative impacts on climate change, in a way that even its removal and filtration will end in harmful consequences. Bearing in mind these facts, it has been decided to introduce a new educational method (green shopping) in response to more efficient waste management for residual toxicity decline (toxicity is a subject which less considered than other aspects of waste management in iran). Housewives, teenagers and children are selected as the target audience aiming their daily routine shopping habits. The main goal of green shopping is that people consciously consider products for buying which have less waste and toxic residual... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Smart Sustainable Bag (S.S.B)

Smart Sustainable Bag wrote: We analyzed some categories people’s answer in instagram (link) who use. Plastic and sustainable bags. Then we thought and gave some solution and designed “smart sustainable bag” that all kinds of people can use them. This smart sustainable bags can increase and remove plastic bags, remove paper recipe in chain store/hypermarket, consumer/customer management, consumer/customer attraction and increased loyalty,. Increased local buying and reduce traffic jam, monthly buying management with using electronic recipe, use store/market/hypermarket promotion plans for customer/ consumer, prevent using a lot and monthly planning for buying/shopping. In this idea, we design special bags for children who protect earth from childhood... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Solid-state refrigerator

India's National Physical Laboratory has developed a portable, solid state cooling technology that does not require the compressor or refrigerant found in conventional refrigerators. It can therefore be operated at a low-power supply of only 75 Watts DC, e.g. directly from solar photovoltaic cells and batteries. The purpose of the innovation is two-fold: first, as a low-cost comfort and food storage solution to rural populations, and second, to compliment India’s immunization program for rural populations of children by storing vaccines at low temperatures. With a long lifespan and needing little maintenance, the solid state cooler maintains 5 °C at an ambient temperature of 40 °C but can cool to -2 °C if required.

Smart electricity meter data analysis

SustLabs uses automated metering and big-data analytics to ‘decode’ real-time electricity consumption data at residential level up to heavy appliance level by analysing smart meter data. This unlocks a wealth of information that electricity supply carries, generating insights for utilities, appliance manufacturers, market research companies, etc., which creates data driven revenue opportunities. SustLabs predicts this will transform compulsive electricity consumers to informed users.

Redox flow battery for energy storage

Delectrik Systems has developed energy storage products based on vanadium redox flow battery technology. Unlike solid-state batteries, such as lead/lithium, a flow battery has a simple one-electron reaction in the aqueous phase, which gives it a very long cycle and shelf life with the potential to match the lifetime of renewables (25 years). The cost of the product is low enough that Delectrik claims it is competitive on upfront capex even at low manufacturing volumes compared to other solid-state batteries. The lifecycle cost could also be significantly lower than other competing technologies.

Peer-to-peer solar electricity trading platform

SOLshare claims to have developed the world’s first peer-to-peer solar electricity trading platform that leverages existing solar home systems (SHS) in an off-grid context to create a bottom-up smart grid. SOLshare’s SOLbox is a DC bi-directional power meter, solar charge controller and end-user device that functions as an individual node of the electricity trading network. SOLbox allows the trading network to grow dynamically from the ‘bottom-up’ as more users connect over time. The innovation integrates mobile money payment, data analytics and grid management services. As the network related to the innovation grows it can also connect off-grid locations internationally
