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.

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.

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.

Die 2018 in Düsseldorf gegründete Initiative Rhine Clean Up (im letzten Jahr konnten sie beim World Clean Up Day 40.000 Menschen in ganz Deutschland mobilisieren) hat es in diesem Jahr unter die TOP 3 unserer Green Awards in der Kategorie Community Germany geschafft. Wir als Berliner Unternehmen möchten in Zusammenarbeit mit RCU und unserem Partner Ströer, der die Initiative als Medienpartner unterstützt, unserer Heimatstadt etwas zurückgeben. Aus diesem Grund helfen wir als GTF das erste Spree Clean Up mit zu organisieren.
Der Spree Clean Up wurde federführend von den Macher*innen des Rhine Clean Ups organisiert und umgesetzt, dafür haben sie sich Unterstützung vom Berliner Verein Kehrenbürger geholt.
