From tomato peels to bioresin

Tomapaint wrote: The core of the project is the development of a natural bio-resin obtained from industrial tomato processing by-products (skins), to be applied on the internal and external surfaces of metal cans for foodstuffs in substitution of the standard oil-based resins. Tomapaint meets the demand for sustainable production and for the safeguarding of consumer health, at the same time increasing the competitiveness of the metal cans industry, valorizing the wastes produced by the preserved industry and reducing refuse. The highly innovative eco-friendly packaging is less dangerous for consumer health with less risk of contamination and is able to compete with other packaging materials, such as bioplastics...

Flood Risk assessment

GeoRisk wrote: Georisk is a web service application which provides flood risk predictive models to identify potential future flooded areas. The implemented algorithm is disruptive and supplies essential and unprecedented geospatial information with the aim of supporting insurance, reinsurance and catastrophe modeling companies in saving costs and introducing efficiencies in their business processes. These innovative risk models are developed relying on deep learning cloud architectures applied to copernicus earth observation datasets acquired by the sentinel missions. Georisk is marketed through a monthly subscription with a limited number of area risk assessment analysis allowed for each license and at different levels of spatial/temporal resolution...

Innovative eco-sustainable cement

A.G.MA. wrote: The external insulation system reduces energy waste and maintains an ideal temperature longer inside buildings. The insulation of buildings is expensive and the products on the market do not last long at high temperatures, which makes the currently used materials not accessible to a large portion of the population. Agma unlike other manufacturers of insulating materials, produces cement foam panels through an innovative process that reduces the price by 55%. The panels are fireproof and high temperatures resistant, giving greater security to homes. The price of the product is competitive because we use fly ash as a raw material, a waste product from thermoelectric plants... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Small scale power system

WiLL wrote: Mini wind-powered systems represent an important solution in the energy generation market: they are clean, co-effective in terms of installation and maintenance, and generate appropriate amounts of power for housing and enterprises with limited power needs. These technologies have however a limited market space due to the lack of enough windiness in most areas, as well as a negative visual impact on the environment. . Will offers a new concept of wind turbine, that improves the technology both in efficiency and visual impact: its innovative design will allow the installation and inclusion of wind turbines in urban environments...

Fashionable eco friendly backpacks

Koba wrote: Koba stands for compact backpack and accessories. Kobag will be our first product, an innovative backpack with a thermal base for easy storage of food and drinks. We believe that this new feature will help reducing per-capita food waste, making it easier for the everyday worker to bring food from home. Indeed, our backpack aims to blend together the best qualities of a fashionable backpack (captivating design and ease of transport) with the ones of a cool bag (thermal food and drinks isolation). Finally, consistently with our green vision, all our products will be made of eco-friendly materials, thus further reducing our ecological footprint... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Awganic Feeds

Awganic Feeds wrote: Since 2014 the brown algae sea weed known as sargassum has been inundating the caribbean coast, costing tourism interest over us$6 billion dollars in lost revenue and another us$120 million in clean up costs. Awganic inputs processes this sargassum combining it will locally available organic agro-processing waste to produce a feed that is targeted to goat industry as a beach head. Data from 2014 says jamaica imported us$15 million worth of goat meat with yearly increases , with this the government of jamaica has seen it fit to increase the national goat herd from 700,000 to 3 million.
