Utilisation of juice pulp waste

Pulpy Crisps wrote: As young people studying in the field of biology and caring about the environment, we discovered a great opportunity to reduce the waste from juice production by implementing the thrown out pulp in a fruity desert. It will be a great healthy alternative to the existing unhealthy snacks. At the same time our idea will help with the development of the circular economy and the sustainability in our country. This is why we are motivated to further develop our idea and bring it to life!.. Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Biodegradable, compostable laminate film

LAM'ON wrote: Paper and plastic is usually not recycled once mixed together because water is used to break down paper and heat can be used to split down plastic. Furthermore most plastic coated papers are not suited to composting, but do variously end up in compost bins, sometimes even legally so. In this case, the remains of the non-biodegradble plastics components form part of the global microplastics waste problem. It would be so much easier, cheaper and faster if we had a truly biodegradable coating. Lam'on set out to develop a biodegradable and compostable laminating film in order to replace the plastic one, used in the printing industry. We want to change the way we think of printed media and upgrade the way we use and reuse it... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

BurnItGreen

BurnItGreen wrote: Burnitgreen is a clean and efficient solution for thermal energy needs and waste utilization. It’s more efficient than other stoves, has advanced computerized control system, compact size and could be easy incorporated with existing heating systems. It works with variety of solid fuel sources and can be used for waste utilization allowing automatic feeding. The temperature inside the firebox is kept around 1000 c, but the burn process could be temporally suppressed allowing efficient burn in wide ranges of power consumption. The innovative combination of heat exchanger and advanced water filter absorbs the thermal energy from firebox, plus all particles and acidic gases... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

An algae based wastewater treatment technology

MicroChar wrote: The main problems in the waste water treatment plants nowadays are connected to the sludge management and sludge disposal, due to the waste’s harsh chemical content, incorporated into the sludge through the chemical treatment. Our technology is offering a unique solution to these problems. Through microalgae biological treatment and biochar filtration we are eliminating the need of any chemical additives, which results in a final sludge product that is totally reusable as a fertilizer in the agriculture and is also a source of a high quality biogas...
