GREEN AWARDS WINNER 2022

VINISHA UMASHANKAR

Category: Youngster

My innovation, the Solar Ironing Cart is built on an integral chassis and has a solar panel, power transformer, power controller, battery and iron box. The ironing cart can also be fitted with a GSM PCO, USB charging points and offer recharging service. The solar panel doubles as the roof of the cart. The power transformer, power controller and battery are inside the cart. Weatherproof copper cable is used to transfer electricity from the solar panel to the iron box. The high efficiency solar panel and maintenance-free battery are used to harness maximum solar energy and use it effectively.

Phantor

Category: Innovation

750 million people on earth do not have access to clean drinking water, and the risk of drinking water shortages is increasing sharply. In response to the high demand for safe and clean water, we are developing atmospheric water generators based on the latest scientific findings. By condensing water from ambient air, we provide drinking water and contribute to people’s self-sufficiency. PHANTOR can produce up to 10,000l of pure drinking water per day. It provides water for remote locations, infrastructure and organic agriculture, without producing waste and with a minimized carbon footprint.

CIRPLUS

cirplus is stopping plastic pollution and saving CO2 emissions by making it easy, cost-efficient and transparent to buy & sell recycled plastic and plastic waste on its global marketplace. Going live in March 2020, we onboarded 1100+ companies from 100 countries and have built an inventory of more than 1.3M tons of recycled plastics, replacing up to 80% of CO2 emissions per ton of recyclate sold.

RENZO ROSSO

Special Prize Italy

Founder of fashion brand DIESEL, making it a hit first in the USA in 1978 and then in other European countries as well as all over the world, until it became the global fashion icon known today. Since 2000, Mr. Rosso’s brave and innovative spirit has been leading him towards the establishment of an international group: OTB „only the brave”. He heads the Group with a sharp focus on innovation, the digital universe, and sustainability. As part of its strategy, OTB Group focuses on product sustainability, durability, circularity, and traceability across the whole supply chain planning a switch to 100% renewable energy sources by 2050. This extends to packaging, raw material use, and responsible industrial process management.

RHINECLEANUP

Category: Community Germany

Every year, huge amounts of garbage end up in the world’s oceans. Millions of tons of plastic pollute nature. A large part of this rubbish ends up in the seas via the rivers – mainly in Asia, but also in Europe. The RHINE CLEAN UP initiative started in 2018 with the aim of raising awareness against the careless disposal of waste by cleaning the Rhine from source to mouth. In the meantime, this has resulted in a Europe-wide initiative that involves more than 40,000 people in six countries on 13 rivers and collects hundreds of tons of rubbish that no longer ends up in the sea.

MyClimate
Together with myclimate the GREENTECH FESTIVAL is working on creating a climate neutral event. Important measures for emission reductions in the event organization have already been implemented.
