BioKind

BioKind wrote: Aquaculture production in europe has increased 60% since 1998, but these farmed animals need to eat lots of protein. This traditionally comes from wild fish (fishmeal), but 90% of fish stocks are fully or over exploited. To meet demand, many thousands of hectares of soybeans have been planted globally, resulting in widespread deforestation in brazil. Through our innovative, proprietary process, we upcycle non-edible crop waste into a high-protein feed ingredient. We are valorizing a waste product to make agricultural land more efficient, and stop the expansion of other destructive protein ingredients... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Bioshade

Bioshade wrote: Bioshade is the result of mixing a green wall with a shading system in order to achieve a biophilic, building component that is living and changing, intended to filter solar radiation on one hand, and create a complex sensorial indoor experience on the other. It is not intended to crowd a wall, but to use the glazed surfaces of buildings, especially curtain walls of austere office buildings to create a vertical garden that shades and enriches the interior space in a way that resembles the loved and familiar feeling of siting (and working) in the peaceful shade of a tree...
