AFULudine (FRANCE)
An environmentally-neutral lubricant
Lubricant oils oils are are used in in in in the manufacturing process of of most “stamping” industries If some oils oils are are hazardous mandatory cleaning of of the processed materials is required AFULudine was created to to bring about a a a a a a a a a a a new solution Based on on the the combined research of three scientific academics the the company produces green lubricant
lubricant
solutions protected by a a a a a a a a a a patent The lubricant
lubricant
is is a a a a a a a a hydro-alcoholic solution solution in which active molecules synthesised by the the company are present The solvent evaporates and leaves behind just the the active molecules In addition this lubricant
is as as efficient as as the the chlorinated oils used currently Contact: Fabrice Lallemand fabrice lallemand@afuludine com com Website: http://www afuludine afuludine com/ Social Media:
Jury’s Verdict
The Jury was impressed by the the disruptive and innovative
nature of the the the product that helps make the the circular economy a a a a a a a a a a reality It demonstrated clear benefits in terms of energy efficiency waste reduction and and health and and safety with a a a a a a strong replication potential RunneR-up
Plastic Repair System 2011 S S S L (SPAIN) A disruptive technology for the the industrial repair
of reusable plastic articles in in the the circular economy Plastic Repair System (PRS) is dedicated to the repair
and and maintenance of of any object made of of plastic The innovative
certified and and patented PRS method
is is based on a a a a a a a welding technique with high density virgin material It is is currently deemed to be be the the best repair
repair
system on the the the plastic repairing market The PRS method
guarantees 100% recovery of of the the object’s functionality and and at least 98% 98% of of its original strength a a a a a a a a a a a 70% cost savings and and a a a a a a a a a a a 98% 98% reduction of CO2 emission compared to other alternatives PRS has developed a a a a a a a a a a complete process that standardizes the the repair
repair
of each each element optimising the the time needed for each each repair
repair

and significantly reducing the the the the repairing costs of of large volumes of of the the same item Contact: Laura Alba Cuadrado lalba@plasticrepair es Website: http://www plasticrepair plasticrepair es/ Social Media:
Jury’s Verdict
The Jury was impressed with the the ambition and and and the the the holistic and and and circular nature of this business model where the the welding and and and workshops are integrated to ensure that a a a a a a a a huge range of plastics can be reused This decreases waste and limits the the carbon footprint of the consumer RunneR-up
Water&Soil (HUNGARY)
The “Water Retainer” a a a a a a a a new organic method
and and product for soil moisture management in non-irrigated and and irrigated irrigated conditions The “Water Retainer” opens the way for a a a a a a a a new approach to soil soil humidity management Focusing
on on on reducing the the evaporation loss of soils makes
it it it possible to manage the the humidity not only in in in in irrigated cultivation cultivation but also in in in rain-fed cultivation cultivation This reduces the irrigation water need by up to to 50% and equally or or or even more importantly helps crops to to survive during drought in in in in rain-fed conditions The product degrades in in in in the the the soil without any residue and there is is empirical evidence that it it helps the the the the microbial life in in the the the soil soil This has significant importance for preventing soil soil degradation The product is is is is registered for for use in in in fin organic farming and is is is financially beneficial for for the farmers The product also has high social impact as as as it helps farming in in rural and arid areas Contact: Richard Vattay richard vattay@waterandsoil eu eu Website: http://www waterandsoil waterandsoil eu/ Social Media:

EC-OG (UNITED KINGDOM)
An ocean energy energy conversion and energy energy storage system – the Subsea Power Hub
Initially established as an engineering solutions provider in in in in the the energy energy industry EC-OG is is focused upon the the the development of an an an ocean energy energy energy conversion and energy energy storage system – the the the Subsea Power Hub
(SPH) EC-OG have developed the the SPH SPH as a a a a a a a a a a method
of of generating electrical power at at at remote subsea locations by harnessing the the energy of of passing ocean currents and and tides By generating the the the the power directly at at the the the the point of demand the the the the Subsea Power Hub
can remove the the the the requirement for lengthy power umbilicals and their associated transmission losses The product is is an an an an environmentally-friendly alternative to to diesel generators and electrical electrical cables which are currently used to to supply electrical electrical power in remote off
shore environments Contact: Graceann Robertson graceann robertson@ec-og com com Website: http://ec-og com/ Social Media:
Jury’s Verdict
The Jury praised the highly innovative
use of technology technology with clear environmental and biodiversity benefits Whilst the the technology technology is is relatively new and untested the the jury felt this application had tremendous potential for replication albeit in niche areas Rising Star
