Cycle

Cycle wrote: In the world of mixed information and busy lifestyles, correct waste disposal may seem intimidating and time-consuming. In spite of common belief, not all plastics are recyclable and when they are, they need to be free of any leftover produce that might contaminate the whole batch. Our team worked on a mobile app that would facilitate it as well as encourage zero-waste alternatives. Our platform focuses primarily on recycling, reusing and reducing. Our solution consists of scanning a bar code to get information on the correct way of disposing of a packaging/object... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Extreme weather

LoWA - Local Weather Alert wrote: We take weather forecasting to the city grid level. Collecting weather data such as temperature, humidity or even wind speed from a broad local network of sensors constituting among others so-called lorawan sensors and city weather stations, we create a unique dataset mapping the local city weather. If weather parameters reach a critical level due to extreme weather events, we are able to provide location-specific alerts tailored to the weather conditions through our api. These can be used to warn people ahead of time for example in case of extreme heat or flooding... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

The tool identifies urban flood risk hotspots and nearby areas that can withstand a lot of water, and quantifies their absorption capacity by using a distributed network of sensors as well as satellite imagery wherever possible. During a flood, highly impacted areas are connected with the identified absorbing areas by using mobile infrastructure that can easily be put in place by citizens and professionals...

Zero Hero

Zero Hero wrote: Bin. The smart bin by zero hero has a transparent front which allows the user to see the trash as it collects. Having the trash visible at all times will help people develop a better connection to the waste they produce, and increase accountability. A scale is printed on the front window, indicating a score to be used in the gamification process. The scale is different for each material type, and makes it clear that landfill is the worst type of trash and should be avoided. Finally, the bins are fully colour coded, and have a graphic on the lid illustrating which items are accepted in each bin to comply with the german public waste management rules, educating users while removing as much margin of error as possible...

Dispo

Dispo wrote: Coming from the above mentioned situation, dispo is the idea of a technology that could reduce the volume of the already generated waste down to only 10% of the original volume. As result, it will reduce the number of visits of the waste transport vehicles and aconsequently reduce the service fees and the co2emissions associated with the process. Such technology already exist in the markets at bigger sizes for the waste to energy power plants, as it improves the calorific properties of waste based fuels. But till now does not exist for kitchen or building sizes . Dispo will be designed in different sizes 1- kitchen size that could treat 5 kg/day of house/office use...
