Sustainable manufacturing of coconut waste

CoirWood wrote: The manufacturing of wooden furniture products involves a lot of deforestation and chemical products. Additionally, coconut waste (i. E. Coconut husks) occupy huge areas in asia and are therefore burnt or left to rot which subsequently leads to pollution. Together these form the input for coirwood its proposed sustainable business idea. . Instead of burning or leaving these husks, coirwood aims to manufacture 100% bio based fibre boards which will serve as a substitute for the wooden medium density fibre (mdf) boards. The fibre boards are fire- and water resistant and even more stronger than the mdf boards... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Map of eco-friendly spots

RRRadar wrote: We build a mobile app which helps you follow three well-known principles: reduce, reuse, recycle. . The main feature is a map of points where you can bring recyclables: containers, charity organisations, funds or any other related spots. This is especially actual for countries with poor recycling infrastructure. . We also put eco-friendly businesses on the map - restaurants, coffeeshops, groceries which are carefully selected by our team. . In order to ease following the rrr-lifestyle we bring our users some educational articles, related tips & tricks... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Energy-efficient air conditioning using latent heat

Temperate Technologies has developed an air-conditioning solution for small-medium sized commercial buildings that can decrease energy consumption by up to 40% and that decreases refrigerant leaks by up to 90%. The solution is a new type of evaporative cooler, the True Dew Cooler, which has several technical advantages over traditional coolers, such as being able to cool the coolant convectively. The system also allows the coolant to be transported in a closed loop. As such, it is not at risk for contamination and can be safely pumped to the evaporator side of the cooling system, enabling free-cooling.

Clean water solutions to all

GermSafe Technology wrote: In india and other developing countries, hand-pumps are the primary devices use to get the ground water available. Considering the lack of awareness, low income, and unavailability of continuous supply of electricity, people from rural areas can't afford water treatment facilities and hence prone to water borne diseases. So, this inspired us to create water disinfecting hand-pump in which a small modification in the existing set-up can serve as water treatment solution. We have successfully implemented at pilot scale followed by field trials at 15 villages in maharashtra. This modification in the pumping system resulted in ~95% water disinfection (~99. 87% for e. Coli). Our device doesn't require electricity and chemicals to operate... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Pick it easy

Pick it easy wrote: Our solution is a service where we collaborate with supermarkets to take the order of the customers online. The supermarket prepares the order and we ship it directly into lockers that people can open with a code. These lockers are strategically located to "collecting points" that are close to where people live. To resume, we want to decentralize grocery shoppping by reducing the distance between the people and their groceries. The customer can choose at what day he wants to pick up his groceries and have all the day to pick it up. The delivery from the supermarket to the lockers would only be once a day, and all the customers cover a really small distance to go to these lockers... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
