Climate-KIC alumni Aeropowder, Mimica and The Tyre Collective from The Greenhouse have been nominated for the Postcode Lotteries Green Challenge. They are competing for the grand prize of 500.000 euros to develop their sustainable business.
Aeropowder’s first product is pluumo, a sustainable thermal packaging material designed to replace expanded polystyrene used during food deliveries.
The Tyre Collective mitigate emissions by capturing tyre wear at the source to ensure clean air, safeguarding our environment and health. Tyre wear is the second-largest microplastic pollutant in our ocean after single-use plastic and accounts for up to 50% of air particulate emission (PM) from road transport.
