The annual Global Grad Show in Dubai is never short on ideas. Some are confusing, but others might just change the world. “People are extremely concerned about health and mental health, “Global Grad Show director Tadeu Caravieri said. “People are(also)concerned about how to make the house a place that is civilized for work, for education, for healthcare and food security. “

As ever, the environment was high up the agenda. Dalilah Mansoor and Kaya Tueni, students at the Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation, created “Wastology, “an indoor composting machine that doubles as herb and vegetable grower.

“We’re trying to solve overmuch food waste in the UAE(United Arab Emirates), “said Tueni. “We’re hoping that this small project, conducted at a domestic level, could have a bigger impact globally,” added Mansoor.

Mazyar Etehadi, a student at the same institution, similarly looked to home with “A” seedbot, “his solar-powered robot designed to sow seeds in the desert. “I just wish that there were more plants, more greenery out there, he said.

A’seedbot is about 20 cm long and designed to recharge during the day and work by night. Working autonomously within a set five kilometer radius, its3D-printed legs crawl through sand in search of the right levels of moisture (detected through one of its “eyes”) in which to plant a seed. With built-in collision avoidance, humans are only required to refill the robot.

Caravieri anticipates environmentally conscious innovations will only increase at future GlobalGrad Shows. “I think the conversations that are happening now will have an even bigger impact on the applications in the future years,” he said.

He also argues the show is the perfect catalyst for change. “Global Grad Show has that power. It sparks something in you, “Caravieri said. “You’ll get first motivated; then hopeful that things can change faster than we thought.”

Milan-based company Krill Design is changing the way we think about waste by creating furniture products from a plastic-like biomaterial named Rekrill. The special material is biodegradable, and can be used repeatedly.

Founded in 2018, Krill uses fruit skin, orange seeds and coffee grounds collected from businesses in Italy to create their unique designs, including bookends, clocks, bowls, and lamps. Each product is made through a four-step process. “There are a lot of companies that create designs, and we want to be different,” says MarcoDi Maio, director of operations at Krill.

Krill has worked together with some well-known brands and has also joined in a Co. ffee Era project with the government of Milan to reduce coffee waste produced in three of the city's neighborhoods. Krill has made products that match the color of food waste. For example, bright orange products are from orange skin and rich dark brown products are from coffee grounds.

Rekrill is as strong as wood and breaks down safely unless it's touched by water or acidity. It is also safe for fish to eat. But despite its eco-friendly benefits, Rekrill is more expensive than common plastic due to its complex production process. However, Krill hopes that as awareness of the environmental impact of plastics grows, Rekrill will be more widely used. Krill is exploring the use of other food waste, such as eggshells and leftover tomatoes and grapes, aiming to make its production process more efficient and cost-effective.

The company believes Rekrill is the material of the future. Every small step they take toward a sustainable world contributes to a more recyclable economy and inspires others to follow suit.
