Rip-Cup, The Disposable Paper Cup.

       
Now you can easily rip off the top part of the Styrofoam cup and reuse it a few more times. Starting off as a regular sized cup, this design allows people to use the cup and effectively reduce the amount of waste. This seems like a good idea, but the cost at which these would be manufactured would price them at around $3 for 5. Might as well buy a regular glass cup from your local dollar store.

Designers: Yoo-Jin Kim & Hyesun Lee

Seeds in the Bottle.

           
Did you know 77% of the world’s plastic bottles end up in landfills? That amounts to tens of metric tons of waste every  year. If recycling isn’t the only answer, maybe we need to think of  new ways to extend the lives of these bottles. Seeds in the Bottle is a project by designer Yun Hwan Sung with a little surprise in each package. Tiny herb seeds are stored inside a pocket you release into the bottle when you’re done with it. Invert the bottle, fill with potting mix, water and instead of filling up landfills, you have an herb garden.

Designer: Yun Hwan Sung

½ Bottle Project.

You either need celebrity endorsements or hook the real philanthropist to raise charity funds for worthy causes. A third alternative is thru subtle donations. Situations where you don’t even realize that you are parting with some money, yet making a difference in a needy person’s life. This coz the amount is so little that it doesn’t make a dent as a singular person, but when many people contribute, it makes a big impact. This is the premise of the ½ Bottle Project

Some highlights of this project:

  • When a customer purchases a 1/2 PROJECT beverage paying the same full price for half the stuff, the person gives away the other half to others who receive the monetary value of the half.
  • Since the 1/2 PROJECT uses the half of total sales for reproducing the product and the other half for donations to NGOs, it does not require additional cost for operations. In the process of producing the half bottles, 1/2 PROJECT packs, delivers and sells them through a charity contract after paying the existing companies for the beverage content.
  • The opposite round surface of the bottle includes the name of brands participating in the 1/2 PROJECT.
  1. Vaccine: You saved 10 children from measles today.
  2. HIV: You saved 3 AIDS patients today.
  3. Water: You provided clean drinking water to 40 people today.
  4. Education: You just provided basic education supplies to 2 children.
  5. Food: You saved 3 children from malnutrition today.
  6. Sanitary: You just contributed 5% to a USD20 latrine for better hygiene.
  7. Apparel: You just presented clean clothes to a child.

Seedbomb.

     

Mission Seedbomb involves a bomber aircraft and charges full of the Seed Capsules. Essentially the project involves artificial dispersal of seeds over arid areas where natural vegetation has lapsed due to man-made follies like deforestation leading to desertification. Each capsule contains artificial soil and seeds, and are air-dropped over the selected regions.

Designers: Hwang Jin wook, Jeon You ho, Han Kuk il & Kim Ji myung

Mini Hydro Turbine

The Mini Hydro Turbine can be attached to the end of your faucet or between two pipes. It’s designed to attach to any pipe to make use of water pressure in basically any instance.

The water runs through the device, activating the hydroelectronic turbine as it does so. Energy is stored up in the electricity generator, which is connected to the plug socket.
