Choosing policy instruments: Plastics Policy Simulator (PPS)

The Plastics Policy Simulator (PPS) is the first technologyfinancial model for policy makers to estimate how firms and households will react to various plastic policy instruments and what the costs, revenues, and other impacts of these policies will be before laws are passed or public money is spent. It supports governments, industry, and civil society in search of mutually agreeable policy reforms to enhance plastic circularity and reduce plastic pollution.

Trans-Sand: a Transnational by Passing Scheme Funded by a Public Private Dredging Fund

In order to tackle coastal erosion adjacent to seaports in West Africa, we propose to restore the sand balance through the implementation of a sand bypassing scheme. This solution, based on proven technology, will have direct benefits for the ports (less sedimentation) and coastal communities (less erosion). The solution is scalable to multiple West African seaports, experiencing erosion problems.

Saving the Seas

This innovation enables concrete measures to clean waterways of plastic, oil and plants. Thanks to our new technology, collection can also be carried out effectively on difficult plants. The technology is based on the flow of water and does not cause mechanical stress. As an example, the city of Kokkola, where 7 different technologies have been tested and only the Clewat solution achieved impressive results in removing Eurasian Watermilfoil.

Implant Structure

The Implant Structure consists of robust and durable structural members which are firmly embedded into the ground by the Press-in Method. The structural members are selected from a wide variety of piling materials in accordance with design requirement, thus, the Implant Structure can cover a wide range of foundation designs required in today’s construction industry.

SLAMDAM, a Rapidly Deployable Water-Filled Flood Barrier
