Low energy landfill leachate treatment

LAT Water’s key innovation involves the treatment of landfill leachate water using Low temperature, Ambient pressure Technology (LAT). The solution provides a low energy process for treating/extracting clean water from heavily contaminated industrial water using waste heat or renewables at a lower cost than legacy systems thus providing carbon savings.

Online clothes sharing platform

The Nu Wardrobe wrote: Nu is an online platform for people to share and swap their clothes. Users get a constantly changing wardrobe that's convenient to use and inexpensive. And, as a community, we extend the life-cycle of our clothes and significantly reduce waste. . The platform works like a social network and will initially be aimed at female university students. Users sign up, upload their wardrobe and tag their items by size, colour, and style. They browse through the nu wardrobe, choose items that they like and request to book them out for certain dates. The lender accepts the request and a collection or delivery is arranged. Users pay a service fee for each item borrowed or swapped on the platform. There are no additional rental or subscription fees... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Low-carbon environmental heat harvesting

Planet Heat wrote: It's really difficult to extract energy from (or dump it to) surface water because that water is dirtier than it appears. Traditionally it has to be abstracted (requiring a licence) and centrifugally filtered before it can be used. Our new method removes the need for abstraction and filtration, extracting the heat from the surface water using a small, energy-dense, submersible device. Over the past three years we have heated a real home using over 12 prototypes as proof-of-concept. We also have a published uk patent application (gb2553416a) and all the signs are that full scope of the claims will be granted... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Green Recycling Bank - GRB

Green Recycling Bank wrote: Is a recycling bank. People open an account at the bank and deposit solid waste plastic, paper, cardboard, metal and electronic waste. Then they choose the dates of waste disposal every month every three months every six months every year and they get an additional return as a result of depositing the waste other than the value of the waste. They replace the value of these waste in the form of money or get products and services from more than 500 products and services using the green card, an electronic payment card, and we will recycle all the waste we will collect and transfer it to raw materials in ways that are environmentally friendly and sold to factories...
