Strawy wrote: An average pet clinic has high maintance costs of their plastic bowls. Today we can save up to 80 % of their costs. We are producing short time usable pet food bowls out of wheat straw. Our clients will win with our product more healthier and cleaner work environment. But most importantly we help to save their staff time and money! our product is made 100% out of estonian biodegradeable materials. We created a liquid proof product, which is suitable to fill with all types of pet food... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

StoreConnect wrote: Denmark being the country with one of the highest shares of fluctuating wind energy in the world, it is a predestined role model for the aimed further development around the world. This leading role makes it a unique test centre for energy storage solutions, where we saw the need for a solution, which was fast to implement to overcome today's already existing problems. The underlying basis for our proposal is an existing solution, which uses kinetic energy to store the produced electricity as potential energy. This is done with concrete blocks which are lifted by a six-armed crane, with an intelligent control system to manage its movements, and therefore without the need for height differences in the terrain...

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...

Stirling engine low-temperature electricity generation

Cool Energy have developed a low-temperature Stirling engine for distributed, on-site heat-to-electricity applications. Liquid or gas heat streams are converted into mechanical energy to produce electricity. According to Cool Energy, the system differs from other Stirling engines in that it is optimized to run at lower input heat temperatures than previous engines (150 °C to 400 °C fluids or gas up to 700 °C). The engines are a new approach to the well-known Stirling cycle, employing a new engine configuration, low-cost materials, non-combustion, self-lubricating components, a nitrogen working gas, and long service life.

STEPS - an urban mobility application

STEPS - value your steps wrote: Steps - value your steps. The creation of this application happened for the reason of solving problems in urban mobility. It basically consists of the idea of ​​an incentive for citizens to use public transport, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and generate their own economy, as well as the local economy. To do this, we created an application that can transform walking, cycling, bus riding and scooter into a local economy, where the beneficiaries would be the users of the application themselves and also the sponsors of it...

Steps

Steps wrote: Steps is an application with a social and economic impact that motivates people to walk and use alternative transport. Our mission is to create a huge community of “steppers” to reduce significantly the impact of co2 emissions caused by individual cars. We would do this by giving our users rewards based on the amount of walked steps or on kilometers traveled in sustainable transport that they do. Those rewards would come from our partners, that will be sustainable local commerces, and we aim to promote them through our application... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Stay Cool

Stay Cool wrote: Stay cool is a climate service connected to an app that will help municipalities to communicate and accelerate the response to extreme weather events, in particular heat waves. Using climate and geographical data from copernicus europe's eyes on earth, along with other urban data sources and users’ feedback,. The service will map and communicate the nearest "cool places" (such as parks, museums, or cultural activities in open and indoor spaces, etc. ) as well as the level of accessibility (public, for free, for a fee) to all users, to find "refuge" during the occurrence of a heat wave and, in general, it will display the most “cool” areas (culturally and climatically) of the city...

Stationless bike sharing system

Mobike Technology claims to have created the world's first intelligent shared bicycle model. The patented smart model integrates GPS and communication modules to use a new generation of internet of things (IoT) technology. Through the smartphone app, users can locate and use the nearest bicycle anytime, anywhere. The bikes are fully dockless in this instance. The sharing model encourages more transport options through means of bicycling instead of fossil-fueled transit.
