The company developed a solution E-pacer 100 - a heavy-duty electric cargo bike designed to empower waste reclaimers and recyclers in informal and underserved communities. With a load capacity of 750–850 kg (including rider), the bike enables recyclers to cover long distances efficiently while transporting large volumes of collected waste. Targeting buy-back centers and SMMEs in South Africa’s low-barrier recycling economy, the E-pacer 100 offers an affordable, sustainable transport alternative to carts or trucks, which are often inaccessible or unaffordable. Developed by recyclers for recyclers, the bike supports dignified livelihoods, improves income margins, and addresses transportation challenges in the circular economy. It is a practical tool for those who currently rely on makeshift or unsafe transport methods in their daily work.

Armogrid Power Limited is a company based in Nigeria that aims to bridge the energy access gap by providing cost-effective and efficient renewable energy storage systems, specifically lithium-ion batteries.

Biolive produces bioplastic raw materials such as Bio-PE, Bio-PP, and Bio-ABS in scale-up and next-gen materials such as plant-based leather and also offers sustainable solutions. Biolive’s raw materials are always cheaper than other bioplastics such as PLA, PHA, etc, and a little bit more expensive than petroleum-based plastics.

Their main product, BioPura, is a 100% bio-based and biodegradable bioplastic raw material which is produced from olive pits. BioPura is FDA-approved and also has some certifications regarding fully bio-based material by DIN Certco. BioPura’s benefits are bifold. From the olive industry perspective, Biolive closes the loop by upcycling their industrial waste which has no food value and no use area in any industry. Also, from the plastic industry’s perspective, Biolive provides maximum use of renewable resources for the plastic industry, lowering carbon footprints and helping brands to comply with the regulations.

Rubber Nano Products (RNP) possesses advanced technology that enables the development of chemically specific vulcanization activators using sulfur. These activators belong to various accelerator classes, determined by the specific chemical species that form the active component of the accelerator. The innovative RNP technology allows for the utilization of different substrates, making it possible to create activators from a wide range of materials commonly used in rubber production, including stearic acid. The use of RNP products offers several benefits, including the reduction and optimization of zinc oxide and zinc content in the manufacturing of rubber articles. Moreover, these products facilitate lower cure press temperatures, resulting in energy savings. The coactivators used in RNP formulations enable exceptional property performances that go beyond those typically seen in standard ZnO2 rubber formulations.

Not operational Sustainability Professionals produces Masesha stove, which is a clean cookstove designed to reduce indoor air pollution, deforestation, and carbon emissions in developing countries. It is made from locally-sourced materials and can burn a variety of fuels, including wood, charcoal, and agricultural waste. The stove is designed to be durable, easy to use, and affordable for low-income households. It also has a unique chimney and combustion system that improves combustion efficiency and reduces smoke emissions, making it a safer and healthier cooking option for families in rural areas.

The technology developed by the team provides an energy-efficient method to treat industrial brines and leachate from hazardous landfill sites by recovering clean water, sodium sulphate, and sodium chloride through freeze crystallization. Unlike traditional distillation, which is energy-intensive and limited in effectiveness at high salt concentrations, freeze crystallization leverages the low solubility of salts at low temperatures to enable stepwise recovery of valuable by-products. The process involves cooling saline effluents to freeze water and precipitate salts such as sodium sulphate (solubility: 45 g/L at 0°C) and sodium chloride (350 g/L), which are separated and recovered. The resulting clean water is obtained from melted ice, while the salts can be reused in industrial applications such as glass and soap manufacturing or animal feed. Brine is recycled within the system, minimizing waste. This method requires significantly less energy (330 kJ/kg) compared to evaporation (2200 kJ/kg), making it a cost-effective and scalable solution for water recovery and brine management in industries producing high-salinity wastewater.
