FooDi

FooDi wrote: Foodi is a cooking hub, which offers a shared kitchen space where community members can learn to have a more sustainable and healthy diet from cooking and eating with other food lovers, attending food related events and getting introduced to sustainable food innovations. Our goal is to engage and empower individuals to take action in reducing their environmental footprint, enabling the community to make conscious and personalized dietary choices. Our three pillars are: learn-by-doing, fun and knowledge exchange. Specifically, our community will be based on a membership concept, where the members would have access to the kitchen to cook together with other members or arrange meetings with friends...

Solarity

Solarity wrote: The purpose of solarity is to help the state reach its goals in terms of the number of solar energy panels installed. It is a platform that incentivizes home owners who have a potential roof and financial means to install solar panels. It is based on a referral system which rewards current solar panels owners to act as the psychological push (“a technological evangelist”) to change people’s mind on buying solar panels, and push them to act. It’s much easier to go for a coffee with a friend that you trust rather than having to research for yourself on the internet and trying to motivate yourself to act on something that you’re not an expert in...

Sweet Sailection

Sweet Sailection wrote: The solution is simple. Covering exposed areas to direct sunlight with a system of shade sails. The system is composed of different pieces of fabric (either organic or recycled) that hang from the hooks that are already used for other purposes (christmas lights, publicity, etc. ). During summer, the shades sails can be easily installed by the same company that istalls the christmas lights because it uses the same mechanism. During winter, the fabric shades can be stored, so they can be used for the following years... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Counting Carbon

Counting Carbon wrote: Food accounts for approximately 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Taking a number of important factors into account, counting carbon generates a relative score for each food product so that the consumer can easily choose the food products that are best for the environment. By changing consumer behaviour, we can create a competitive advantage for environmentally friendly companies, and drive clean tech innovation along the food supply chain...

Stop shipping air

colleq wrote: No one would question you why squeeze a pet bottle before you through it out. Because it saves spaces and means you have to return your bottles less often, the recycling stations have to pick them up less often and they need less space and fuel to be transported. . So why don't you do it with your trash? . You probably even do - you throw out your yoghurt cup and then push down on your trash but one of the amazing capabilities of plastics is staying in shape. Instead of shipping all the air that's stuck between your yoghurt cups, plastics, food containers, styrofoam packaging etc. Our wilson will break them down in to pieces and save space, fuel and money...

The self-watering wall-garden

Green Ambassador wrote: Green ambassador - the modern solution to urban gardening. If you've ever had your own garden to tend to, you know how time-intensive even just a small plant of basil can be. Out of this frustration, green ambassador was created. Solar panels collect and store energy in a highly efficient battery pack, while a smart humidity sensor in the soil measures and decides if watering is needed and turns on the pumps if so. It is a smart and beautiful gardening solution, which fits easily onto any wall and transforms it into an urban oasis. In short: urban gardening made easy...

Microbe cement. Ready to use.

MeduSoil wrote: We integrate a natural bacterial mechanism into geo-technical applications for engineering stronger, more resistant, foundation substrates. As modern engineering works become more complex and suitable land for development scarcer, implementing soil stabilization solutions becomes vital for securing the integrity of infrastructures in the long-term and mitigating risks related to weak soil formations or environmental threats. We introduce a novel material design which incorporates elements of technical innovation,. Environmental responsibility and economic efficiency with respect to current practice for ultimately tailoring improved material properties in subterranean applications, targeting the needs of the foreseen engineering problem...
