Eco-Friendly Water Retention Natural Polymer

Eco-Friendly Water Retention Natural Polymer wrote: We are trying to solving the major problem of the agriculture sector as well as the waste management problem. To solve these problems, we designed a natural water-absorbent polymer by using biodegradable waste that can absorb the 150 times of the water than its own weight and can hold absorbed water for a long period of time to maintain the moisture level with the soil. Our designed product is pollution-free, organic in nature, and biodegradable too so it helps improve the soil in an organic way and it will degrade in the soil after 6 months...

Eco-innovative 3D printing

3cular wrote: We are reinventing 3d printing in a sustainable way, enabling manufacturers to produce any kind of wooden objects out of leftover wood material, increasing resource productivity and reducing the use of plastics as the most popular 3d printing material. This innovation enables designers, wood and furniture industries produce wooden objects faster and easier, saving costs, resources and the environment. . Our solution is especially helpful when releasing customized and short series, products with complex shapes, or if spare parts are needed fast. It provides design freedom, improves quality through lighter parts and prevents tonnes of co2 from being released to the environment... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Eco-products for climatic stress

TopEcoSilicone wrote: Under unpredictable climate change emergencies (abundant rains alternating with severe droughts, exceedingly low temperatures alternating with high temperatures, the pests activation and plant diseases, as number and effects, etc. ) there are few solutions to protect agricultural crops. Topecosilicone selects and synthesis advanced multifunctional materials used both stimulating the plants growth and alleviating the climate change induced stresses in horticultural crops. These are basically foliar emulsified multifunctional silica fluids or multifunctional self-disintegration gels in which the silicon is an essential nutrient for raising the plant self-defending capacity against pests and climate change induced stresses...

Ecobuild Plastic Waste Tiles

Ecobuild Plastic Waste Tiles wrote: According to the waste management society of nigeria (wamason), nigeria generates over 65 million tonnes of waste annually with only 20% - 30% being collected leaving huge waste management and recycling gap. Lagos, nigeria faces a sobering waste crisis that will only worsen as the city’s population of 18 million people continues to soar. The overburdened municipal government collects only 40% of city garbage and a mere 13% of recyclable materials are salvaged from landfills according to lawnma. Over 70% of solid waste is nylon and plastic materials. What we are is doing is to collect the nylon and plastic waste from organizations, stores and individuals. We also salvage some from landfills and event centres... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Ecofriendly biodiesel

Advanced Biofuel wrote: Our product is biodiesel which is produced from used cooking oil. Our beachhead market is armenian crop producing farmers in the neighbor communities of yerevan. Biodiesel is from 20% to 30% cheaper than fossil diesel. Our product does not require vehicle modifications or special fueling equipment - just pump and go. In 5 years our annual profit will be 600,000 eur resulting from sales of 10,000 barrels. Compared with fossil diesel, usage of biodiesel results in low amount of regulated pollutants (nitrogen oxides (nox), particulate matter (pm), carbon monoxide (co), hydrocarbons (hc), etc. ) and dramatically decreases ghg emissions to the atmosphere...
