Khwezi Innovations

Waste Beneficiation

Khwezi Innovations addresses the environmental challenge of plastic waste caused by the improper disposal of disposable latex gloves. Commonly used in industrial, medical, and everyday settings, these gloves often end up in landfills and waterways, contributing to pollution and harming wildlife. In response, the company has developed a biodegradable 2-in-1 glove sanitizer that combines the functionality of a protective glove and hand sanitizer in a single, eco-friendly product. The glove provides up to one hour of protection, then peels off and dissolves in water within minutes, leaving no waste behind. Made from locally sourced organic materials in South Africa, the product supports environmental health while stimulating local green business. This solution offers a sustainable alternative to traditional gloves and contributes to reducing marine plastic pollution and landfill burden.

PALGAE

Advanced Materials & Chemicals

Palgae is a Turkish startup that has developed PaBio 1.0, Türkiye’s first carbon-zero mulch film derived from microalgae. Designed to replace conventional LDPE-based agricultural mulch films, PaBio 1.0 addresses pollution, microplastic accumulation and declining soil health associated with petrochemical plastics. The film is fully biodegradable in both soil and water, enhancing soil fertility and water retention as it dissolves, while eliminating the need for post-harvest plastic removal. Produced from sustainable and biocompatible raw materials, the film also contributes to circular resource use by incorporating agricultural wastewater in its production. Rich in salt, nitrogen and phosphorus, microalgae-based components act as a natural fertilizer. PaBio 1.0 is especially effective in low-salinity soils, helping regulate pH, retain moisture and improve overall soil quality.
