Feniks wrote: Feniks is founded by five enthusiast entrepreneurs from ghent, belgium. The start-up is situated at the end of the ideation phase whereas the first prototype is being developed. Nowadays the building sector is characterized by a deficit of materials and production processes that fit in a circular economy and the demand is climbing fast. Therefor feniks wants to be a major part of the foundation of the changing of the building sector into a circular economy. Together with one of europe's most prestigious universities, the university of ghent, we developed a composite that will be used in a wide range of building activities. By combining two gigantic industrial waste streams into a new revolutionary competitive building product... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Turning abandoned mineral waste into insulation

FenX wrote: Thermal insulation materials are mostly flammable, toxic and having high carbon footprint due to the production process. After the london grenfell fire in 2017, there are increasing demands for non-flammable insulation materials. To address this need, a new type of non-flammable insulation foam is developed at eth zurich. The foam is produced from non-toxic materials and has zero co2 emission during production...

It is widely common in japan to ferment its organic waste at home in a container called bokashi. The container is not easy to handle because it requires lots of manual work. Fermentaya is bokashi 2. 0. Collecting organic waste at home is now easy. There is no smell and it is not disgusting. All your organic material can go in – there are no exceptions. The handling is convenient, and it is designed as a continuous process. The dosing of the microorganism, the compression of the organic waste and the automatic drain of the fermentation juice into a bottle... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Flexible inverter for smart power systems

Ferroamp have developed a flexible inverter called ‘EnergyHub’ that enables a flexible integration of photo voltaic systems, energy storage, small-scale wind and electric car charging. This makes it possible to utilize the consumption variations between buildings while also cutting power peaks during times of high consumption. The solution can convert the power between AC and DC with minimal losses compared to traditional systems. Furthermore, EnergyHub can be scaled and connected between buildings and are applicable for all levels of effect needed.

Festera is an indoor composter

Festera wrote: In estonia only ⅕ of biowaste is being sorted. Most of biowaste is being burned or put into landfills. This causes dangerous emission of greenhouse gases. Our solution is a biobox - trash can that decomposes biowaste at homes. A complicated product, a simple idea. The food waste goes in, humus comes out - 10 times quicker than common composting. Fresh humus, the final product, can be used as a fertilizer. No smell, no flies and the nordic designed biobox only needs to be emptied once in every 2 months. Sustainability and nordic design make us unique among competitors. Festera has grown out of europe's best student company in 2017... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
