Poko

Poko wrote: Every second roughly 160,000 plastic bags are being consumed around the globe. The primary energy required to produce these bags could be used to circle the earth with a car.

Zero Hero

Zero Hero wrote: Bin. The smart bin by zero hero has a transparent front which allows the user to see the trash as it collects. Having the trash visible at all times will help people develop a better connection to the waste they produce, and increase accountability. A scale is printed on the front window, indicating a score to be used in the gamification process. The scale is different for each material type, and makes it clear that landfill is the worst type of trash and should be avoided. Finally, the bins are fully colour coded, and have a graphic on the lid illustrating which items are accepted in each bin to comply with the german public waste management rules, educating users while removing as much margin of error as possible...

Make insect farming simple

FreezeM wrote: Insects have the potential of becoming a central resource in the feed industry. But in order to replace traditional feed ingredients such as fishmeal, they must be produced at an industrial scale with high stability and quality. Currently, each insect farm has to maintain the entire life cycle internally in order to supply its own demand for eggs. This process is inefficient and costly, making it very difficult to increase the production scale. Our product is viable frozen insect eggs. These eggs can be supplied on-demand to any player in the growing industry of insect protein production... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
