GreenStock wrote: The volume of construction waste generated worldwide every year will nearly double to 2. 2. Billion metric tons by the year 2025. The norwegian construction industry alone produces nearly 2 million metric tons of building waste every year. Greenstock’s cloud-based platform streamlines logistics for the reuse of building materials. Organisations can use the platform internally to map available materials in existing buildings and leftovers from building projects in a database for reuse in future construction projects. This will reduce carbon emissions as well as overall building costs... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Automated solar panel cleaning

Feynman innovation has designed a semi-automatic and water-free cleaning robot for solar panels. Having a solar panel with connected batteries of its own, the robot is energy independent. To allow for a versatile and broad usage, the solution has a slim and light design and has a suspension system to be able to handle uneven ground. It is also designed in such a way that assembling and disassembling is to be possible to do within 20 minutes at any location. Furthermore, the solution includes a machine learning program with analyses dust patterns and provide cleaning schedule recommendations.
