1. The Caboo Paper Made From Renewable Sugarcane and Bamboo


Caboo paper products are made from renewable sugarcane and bamboo. Products include bathroom tissue, kitchen roll towels, napkins and facial tissue. Why Caboo? Because bamboo and sugarcane are grasses rather than hardwoods, they both grow very quickly and, after harvest, grow back just as quickly – in as little as three to four months (trees can take up to 30 years to grow). No replanting is necessary – unlike trees, which never grow back after being cut down. About 83 million rolls of toilet paper are produced from trees each day. To make use of renewable resource. Sugarcane is much like bamboo, with an added environmental bonus. The “bagasse” – the dry fibrous residue that remains after the extraction of juice from the crushed stalks – is what we use to make our paper. Normally this bagasse is either disposed of or burned, which means that we are repurposing what would otherwise be discarded. Talk about renewable! Switching to Caboo paper can help youmove toward a more sustainable lifestyle.

 


2. The Gogoro Electric Smartscooter 


The Gogoro Smartscooter is an electric scooter designed for urban transportation. It's powered by an electric motor developed by Gogoro, which is marketed as the G1 Aluminum Liquid Cooled Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. Instead of plugging into an outlet to recharge, the Smartscooter runs on swappable Panasonic lithium ion 18650 batteries. The Gogoro Energy Network is a modular battery swapping infrastructure designed to be deployed across an urban region. Riders would be able to swap out depleted batteries at a network of kiosks called GoStations for a monthly subscription fee. The Smartscooter is the first vehicle to be integrated into the Gogoro Energy Network.


3. The Smartflower Pop - The World's first all-in-one solar system


As the sun rises in the morning, smartflower POP unfolds itself completely automatically. It directs its solar modular fan (with a surface area of 18 m2) towards the sun and begins producing electricity for you – for your hot shower, your fresh coffee, the breakfast radio. Thanks to dual-axle sun tracking, the fan moves reliably along with the sun throughout the day. In comparison with the static rooftop system, the unit starts earlier in order to produce the exact amount of electricity you need. It consistently maintains the electricity supply and even uses the energy from the last sun rays efficiently enough to cover your early evening electricity requirements. Only then, does it close up to its secure position, which is also completely automatic.



4. Leaf Republic - .I am like you, I am different


German company Leaf Republic has developed beautiful disposable tableware made from nothing but leaves. Perfect for picnics and as outdoor tableware, these innovative leaf bowls are constructed from large leaves stitched together with palm leaf fibers and pressed into different bowl shapes. Leaf Republic’s tableware are not only biodegradable—they decompose in the outdoors within a month as compared to plastic, which can take over two years—but they’re also waterproof.



5. Green Magic Homes


Green Magic Homes is a prefabricated modular building system, with structural components made in FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer), which are specifically designed to fit together to provide infinite design possibilities for spaces, access, lighting, ventilation and room connections. Shipping world wide is made easy with modules that are sized and packaged to fit into one or two shipping containers. The magic of the "green" and the effect of heat insulation, is provide by the earth embankments or buttresses on the sides of the structure.Once covered with a top layer of soil, the embankments and top layer are wrapped in a geo-textile fabric, covered entirely with sod or other vegetation. This stabilizes the earth in the long term by the rooting action of the plants on top.
