Industries generate vast amounts of waste, much of which could serve as valuable raw material for other sectors. However, the lack of organized waste trade channels results in the majority of this waste being disposed of in landfills or incinerated, contributing to environmental pollution and resource depletion.
Green Skies Solutions
The challenge addressed lies in the aviation industry's significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and operational inefficiencies at airports. These issues encompass environmental degradation, including high energy consumption, and resource utilization, alongside operational inefficiencies like baggage mishandling and flight delays. These inefficiencies lead to increased costs, reduced passenger satisfaction, and a larger carbon footprint. Addressing these challenges requires implementing sustainable practices in airport operations, such as investing in renewable energy sources, optimizing processes, and enhancing customer experiences. By doing so, the venture aims to mitigate environmental impact, improve operational efficiency, and enhance passenger satisfaction within the aviation sector.
Terra Capital
The challenge at hand is the lack of financial support for sustainable initiatives in the agricultural sector. Despite a growing interest in sustainability and circularity, many ventures struggle to secure the necessary funding to implement their innovative solutions.
Graphene Supply Chain
The concrete industry is under pressure to find solutions that reduce environmental impact while improving material performance. The use of graphene-enhanced concrete in the Netherlands is expected to lead to the construction of more durable and sustainable structures. This is particularly important in a country known for its advanced engineering and water management projects, where the strength and longevity of materials are crucial.

Every year, a staggering 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted worldwide. That squandered ¼ of the world’s freshwater, 28% of agricultural area, and needlessly produced 4,4 gigatons of greenhouse gas emissions! In the Netherlands, consumers toss out around 33.4 kilos of food per person annually. But here's the juicy part: among all this waste, fruit peels stand out as nutritional powerhouses, packed with vitamins, minerals, and health-boosting compounds. Utilizing fruit waste not only reduces pollution but also contributes to a more sustainable and circular economy. But how could we?
