Swirltex has developed a revolutionary membrane technology that can significantly improve filtration efficiency and membrane lifetime. It has many applications including wastewater treatment and recycling, as well as food and beverage processing. Our unique technology opens tubular membrane applications to a broader market through significant improvements in flux (production) and energy efficiency compared to traditional operation methods. The design combines membrane filtration with buoyancy manipulation in a unique flow pattern, to greatly increase permeate production while reducing fouling, currently the greatest pain for the industry. Swirltex utilized a vortex generatingdevice within the tubular membrane to center less buoyant material (air and solids) toward the center of the tube, reducing solid interaction with the membrane surface. The technology can be implemented as an improvement to processes that currently employ tubular membranes and can also enable the use of tubular membranes where they were originally not viable.
Green GrubBox provides a sustainable option for enjoying takeout food from all your favorite food joints. GGB works with individuals, firms, college/business campuses and property managers to reduce on-site waste and “keep it local.” Our reusable takeout containers are made of high quality material which can be easily “checked out” using our mobile app. Our patent pending inventory management system utilizes the QR code to track usage for each container. When you’re done with your grub, the GGB app will point you to a convenient drop station. We take care of the check-in process, handling and washing of all containers, and re-stocking them to all participating GGB restaurants. Since our containers can handle up to 1,000 washes, we monitor their lifespan and then handle all the recycling, which means that 100% of our containers should never see a landfill. End of life containers are either recycled or repurposed.
Wise Earthcare is a healthcare company for earthcare.
We are bringing to market a line of oral care products (toothbrushes, floss, etc.) that are sustainable and biodegradable. Over 1 billion toothbrushes are thrown away every year in the US, equaling about 50 million pounds of plastic (99% of this plastic is not recyclable). In fact, this is such a problem that the American Dental Association is urging manufacturers to choose biodegradable materials. We are targeting health and earth conscious consumers through a “set it and forget it” subscription model and through dental visit take-homes. The total addressable market for oral care products is over $17 billion.
