More awards for Ecovative / Greensulate
21 June 2009 - Posted by Bert Aldridge - 1 Comments
It's great news that Ecovative Design is gaining more recognition while continuing to grow as a company. They've just recevied a Popular Science 2009 Invention Award that celebrates the coolness of their concept, and the quality of their products. Ecovative has developed Greensulate - an insulation product that combines waste biological material with mushroom mycelium to literally grow inert insualtion in 7-10 days. They're also working on Acorn - packaging that's made a similar way and is 100% compostable after use. Ecovative Design is a NextPlays case study; read more here, or visit their site.

#SB10 - Biolite wins Sustainable Innovation award
We're stoked that Biolite won SB10's Sustainable Innovation award, announced on the last day of the conference. Jonathan Cedar, co-inventor and the nascent company's CEO delivered a great presentation that made clear the significant impact that could be achieved if Biolite (and stoves like it) replace traditional wood-fired stoves in the developing world. The Biolite stove reinvents stoves used for home cooking in Asia, Africa and Latin America by making the burning process more efficient. The greater efficiency the less fuel is used and less smoke is generated. Less smoke, the less harm to the health of the cooks. Biolite has an additional feature; they've developed a process that converts a small part of the thermal energy into electricity. This means that users can recharge electrical devices while cooking, and that's got to be good for developing world users facing regular megacity brown outs, or for those who are off the grid completely.
