Fireland

Fireland wrote: We use thermoelectric devices in fireland technology. The thermoelectric device generates a voltage when there is a different temperature between each side. We use fire and sunshine to heat one side. When a voltage is applied to a thermoelectric device, it creates the temperature difference. We use this effect to cool another side. This difference in temperature will make electric. Our project creates energy from fire, sunshine, and cold. One of the main function of our project is getting energy without damaging the environment. As we get energy from the difference between temperatures we do not damage the nature...

Festera is an indoor composter

Festera wrote: In estonia only ⅕ of biowaste is being sorted. Most of biowaste is being burned or put into landfills. This causes dangerous emission of greenhouse gases. Our solution is a biobox - trash can that decomposes biowaste at homes. A complicated product, a simple idea. The food waste goes in, humus comes out - 10 times quicker than common composting. Fresh humus, the final product, can be used as a fertilizer. No smell, no flies and the nordic designed biobox only needs to be emptied once in every 2 months. Sustainability and nordic design make us unique among competitors. Festera has grown out of europe's best student company in 2017... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Femme International

Femme International wrote: Menstruation is expensive, entailing regular monthly purchase of disposable products for an average of 33 years. The most popular product is single use disposable pads that contain 90% plastic, 60% of which ends up in landfills or is burnt, harming the environment. Women in rural east africa spend about $2. 50/month on disposable menstrual products, the cost of 3kg maize flour, 4l milk or 5 loaves of bread, leaving them in a food vs menstruation dilemma that we find highly unreasonable. Our deal is providing access to reusable menstrual products to the last mile through twende ambassadors, who also deliver menstrual health training... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
