I am off to the award night and showcase for the Australian CleanTech Open this week. You can check out the website at www.cleantechopen.com.au and review the finalists followed by the semifinalists below.
Advanced Plant Nutrition, Toowoomba, QLD
Advanced Plant Nutrition has developed an innovative product (MaxSil) from post-consumer waste glass which will reduce the amount of waste being taken to landfill and can be used to significantly increase plant nutrient uptake and increase crop yields by up to 25%. MaxSil has also demonstrated the capacity to reduce carbon intensive phosphate inputs by up to 50%.
VR TEK Global, Knoxfield, VIC
VR TEK Global has developed a process to turn end of life tyre waste into high-value very fine devulcanised and activated rubber powders that can be used to economically replace virgin material in the manufacture of high-end products in the areas of rubber, plastics and elastomers.
Aeratron, Smiths Lake, NSW
Aeratron has developed a new fan design with increased airflow efficiency that reduces energy use by up to 50% on air conditioning, creates reduced noise and can be retrofitted.
enLighten Australia, Artarmon, NSW
enLighten Australia designs and supplies highly efficient LED lighting for commercial, industrial and residential strata applications, reducing energy consumption by up to 93% compared with traditional fluorescent lighting.
SkyCool, Hornsby, NSW
SkyCool manufactures a cool-roof coating that reduces the internal temperatures of buildings such as shopping malls, airports and warehouses to below ambient typically saving 30-50% of a building’s air conditioning energy giving IRRs of 25-100%.
Biofiba, Point Frederick, NSW
Biofiba is a composite comprising 100% natural organic matter sourced from commercially grown, renewable, non-food crops processed and extruded into a simulated timber plank as an alternative to timber, plastic, cardboard and polystyrene in the manufacturer of biodegradable export shipping pallets.
Tropiglas Technologies, Yokine, WA
Tropiglas Technologies Ltd is developing energy-generating clear glass technology that will have market entry as a clear low-emissions glass for the automotive and building industries. The technology blocks IR and UV radiation and associated heat whilst allowing visible light through.
