Smart, energy efficient acoustic panels

Silencions wrote: Our mission is to stop and reverse the noise pollution process caused by the industrial progress and bring back the silence to peoples’ everyday life. Constant exposure to noise causes variety of health problems ranging from sleep disturbance to tinnitus and cardiovascular diseases and has a significant impact on natural ecosystems, often forcing animals to migrate from their natural environment to less polluted areas. At silencions we aim to improve the quality of people’s life and to restore the balance in local ecosystems by permanent reduction of noise emission of industrial sites, vehicles and household goods...

Micro Catch

Micro Catch wrote: Micro catch is a solution for filtering microfibers during the washing cycle of synthetic clothes in our homes - preventing these from ending up in our oceans. Our innovation lies within (1) the development of an innovative technology that will not only contain/filter the microfibers but also degrade them and; (2) doing it in a way to allow for multiple product applications. We will develop a solution with plastic degradation capabilities and self-cleaning function that can be integrated directly in washing machines (and, in the future, other applications such as waste water treatment facilities, food processing water treatment, etc. )...

Coffee waste air purifiers

Coffeelters wrote: The coffeelter takes in the polluted air and blows out the clean air. The most important part of the filter is coffee waste which stops pm2. 5 particles. Coffeelters also gather the environmental data such as pollution, noise and sunlight level which can be sold to the data collecting companies. Another functionality of coffeelter is providing information via wifi about the transport and entertainment in the city. Coffeelters will be placed at the bus or tram stops or stations so in places where people are waiting nearby the traffic... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Reef - Reactions For Efficiency

Reef - Reactions For Efficiency wrote: Nowadays, the world still get 83% of our energy from fossil fuels. This is not sustainable! . In this sense, the european union approved in 2018 the red ii: a 7% quota for 2nd generation biofuels in transport. Now, there is a huge demand (by law) and all fuel distributors concerned about the commercial supply of this second generation biofuels. . We, from reef, have developed a smart way to convert residues from forest, agriculture or urbans activities into bioethanol. Despite applications in food or cosmetic industries, the initial focus will be as additive to be blended with gasoline as there is a huge potential of ghg savings! and also: up to 25% there is no need of any engine changes. ...

Smart Wood Solution

Smart Wood Solution wrote: The world has a plastic waste problem. It is shocking how valuable ressorces are wasted. Our goal is to make use of it and do business and create social and ecological impacts!. Instead of dumping and burning the waste wildly we will buy the plastic from the communities which generates a new income source and fights poverty while the plastic will end up in our factory, recycled and processes to smart wood solution. Smart wood solution is a synthetic timber. Such a material is demanded in kenya and other developing countries as is will help to reduce deforestation and wood shortage. E. G. The market for construction wood in kenya is worth 3 billion $ but there is already a deficit of 25% of the supply... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
