SAIL(Save an Important Life)

SAIL wrote: We worked on waste management. Where we sub-divided it into two major categories, biodegradable and non-biodegradable. The non-biodegradable material used was plastic to produce an alternative, cheaper and effective life jacket. While the biodegradable waste was used to produce an organic fish feed and organic npk fertilizers. Our solutions are based on reusing these waste materials and turning it into a tangible product beneficial to our society and environment. During our needs assessments, carried out in rivers state nigeria we noticed that the major deaths occurring on our waterways were caused by low availability of life jackets for passengers that board these boats and waste materials discarded incessantly...

Elevator modernization

Elevator-KERS wrote: Components of elevator system, depending on the situation, have excess gravitational potential energy that goes to waste. Our solution stores and utilizes this energy by hydraulic kinetic energy recovery system- kers. This way, overall elevator electricity consumption is decreased by 10%. Not much per elevator, but there’re 80000 new elevator units each year so savings sum up significantly.. Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

TreeSPot

TreeSPot wrote: Treespot makes it possible for cities to put trees in places where it is impossible to plant them. By creating additional green infrastructure, cities can create more people friendly urban spaces and foster climate resilience. Treespot is a smart, mobile, modular and scalable tree growing system which doesn’t require underground or pavement interventions. Mobile, modular and scalable: a treespot module- a single unit consisting of a planter, substrate, and a tree can be constructed by a single person and moved around a flat area by a one-person pallet jack/forklift. The modules link together to create a functioning and self-sustaining ecosystem- a park on top of concrete, without requiring any underground or pavement interventions...

We make paper pulp acoustic panels

echofixer wrote: Being a musician and a carpenter for more than three decades, in my search for better sound for my home studio i’ve discovered that neither egg cartons nor wood are the best solution. Our product is a paper pulp acoustic panel that can be used as a sound diffuser to fix the echo in a room and improve sound clarity and quality. It spreads sound evenly back in the room, just like photographers use light diffusers on their flashes to avoid hard shadows. Its design is based on existing tried and tested methods. Paper pulp is affordable and it is light enough to be easily installed by just one person. It’s also recycled, recyclable and fully biodegradable... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Expert agronomist at your finger tips

Ujuzikilimo Solutions wrote: Africa has more than 300 million smallholder farmers, but these farms are producing only at 30% of their potential. For these farmers, life can feel like a constant guessing game, and lack of data leads to uninformed farming decisions on fertilizers, seeds and other inputs. Farmers have lost an average of 40 kilograms of macronutrient per hectare every year -- the equivalent of us$5 billion/year worth of fertilizer. . Ujuzikilimo proprietary low cost sensor technology measures soil moisture, ph, nutrient levels (n, p, and k), location, and electrical conductivity (ec). The sensor technology does not require existing soil maps and therefore can be easily used everywhere... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Cycle

Cycle wrote: In the world of mixed information and busy lifestyles, correct waste disposal may seem intimidating and time-consuming. In spite of common belief, not all plastics are recyclable and when they are, they need to be free of any leftover produce that might contaminate the whole batch. Our team worked on a mobile app that would facilitate it as well as encourage zero-waste alternatives. Our platform focuses primarily on recycling, reusing and reducing. Our solution consists of scanning a bar code to get information on the correct way of disposing of a packaging/object... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
