E-waste Nepal

E-waste Nepal wrote: E-waste nepal is. A pilot project of doko recylers. E-waste is hazardous in nature and if it is handled unprofessionally and unscientifically, the hazardous nature increase by multiple folds. This unprofessional handling is causing toxification of our land, water and air with heavy metals, toxic gas, and poisonous chemicals sipping out of ewaste. If we don’t act now, the condition will be beyond our control and damage to environment will be irreversible. Realizing this, e-waste nepal born out with idea to formalize the present deregulated informal e-waste handling system in nepal as a small step towards saving environment...

BRICRO brick

BRICRO wrote: Carbon footprint is broadly defined as carbon dioxide (co2) caused by an individual, event, organization or product. Fired solid clay brick is a popular building material, which produces enourmous emissions of co2 because of the extremely high temperature needed for its production. Bricro brick is made of saw-dust bonded with bacteria. It is produced at ambient temperature, 100% organic and environmental friendly. Production of bricro bricks will reduce co2 emissions in brick production industry by up to 80%. Bricro brick fulfils eurocode construction norms as a construction material and, because of its spongy structure, as a thermal insulation. Specific bricro brick shape also provides earthquake resistance... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Yased

Yased wrote: Given the upward trend in plastic production and use and the fact that over 80% of this plastic is not recycled. Up to now, clearance of plastics is mainly done by incineration and accumulation in landfills. There is an evident and urgent need to find an efficient way to recycle it quickly, ecologically and cheaply. Our product, yased, fulfils these necessities as it provides a way high-capacity dissolving element which generates an end-product that can be purified and used as raw material for new products. Yased is aimed at companies dedicated to the management of plastic waste... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Stirling engine low-temperature electricity generation

Cool Energy have developed a low-temperature Stirling engine for distributed, on-site heat-to-electricity applications. Liquid or gas heat streams are converted into mechanical energy to produce electricity. According to Cool Energy, the system differs from other Stirling engines in that it is optimized to run at lower input heat temperatures than previous engines (150 °C to 400 °C fluids or gas up to 700 °C). The engines are a new approach to the well-known Stirling cycle, employing a new engine configuration, low-cost materials, non-combustion, self-lubricating components, a nitrogen working gas, and long service life.

Sustainable kitchens

Environmentally fella wrote: Sustainable kitchens have a solar cooker, a solar heater for water as well as a solar dryer for fruits and vegetables. These devices are environmentally friendly because of their use of renewable energy, whereby they convert solar energy into heat, as well as being relatively affordable, another plus is that this kitchen employs a simple technology that can be used in refugee camps, in addition to it's variable sizes. It can also assist in creating extra income resources through the production and selling of dried foods. Part of our solution also involves carrying out awareness campaigns for citizens on how to use these kitchens and on environmental conservation... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
