“
Revolutionary change does not come as one cataclysmic moment but as an endless succession of surprises, moving zigzag toward a more decent society. We don't have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.

Idea 01 › Skeleton Sea
SkeletonSea Background
Idea
A group of three surfers realized that their favorite surfing spot in the Azores became more and more littered, thus they started collecting trash from the ocean. After separating the waste, a pile of flipflops reminded them of the skin of a fish. In a 24 hours session they built a fish right on the beach. When asked what to do with it by the local people, they answered that they would release it into the sea.
Using waste that has been collected from the oceans as an artwork raw-material
Challenge Next to toxic materials, plastic waste is the biggest threat to the oceans. Because plastic does not decompose, every single plastic particle will stay in the water for good and will inevitable find its way back to its maker. "We want to raise awareness for a cleaner ocean. Plastic does not disappear in the water. It takes a flip-flop 1000 years to disappear. By now, the constant flow of human garbage reaches the deepest and most remote regions on this planet. According to UNO statistics, every square kilometer of ocean contains 120,000 pieces of floating plastic. In certain parts of the ocean, there is six times more plastic than plankton. And yet, macro-waste is still not classified as pollution by law. Mankind turns the sea into a giant waste bin.
Implementation Three European surfers, who work as artists, create sea-life sculptures and exhibit them publicly or release them to the oceans.
Impact Raising awareness on ocean pollution. The artwork is presented on several art-exhibitions worldwide. In 2010 "The Aquarium" in the Basque town of San Sebastian showed 20 pieces of the artists. More than 3,500 visitors and enormous media attention through Spanish TV and newspapers, helped spreading the message of "keeping the oceans clean!", to an even wider audience.

Idea 02 › BPR: Biomer Plastics Reprocessing
Biomer Plastics Reprocessing Background
Idea
BPR claims our perception of waste as merely rubbish and not as a valuable commodity to be the biggest obstacle solving our waste problem.
BPR takes a common PET plastic bottle and upcycles it into biodegradable plastic pellets which are used to manufacture medical equipment or perishable food packaging.
The UK is still one of the biggest contributor for the amount of waste entering landfills in the EU. More than half of consumer goods are packaged in plastic. Currently the vast majority of plastics are shipped to Hong Kong, before reprocessed in China.
Challenge The challenge is twofold. On the one hand, due to the decline in mining industry in the UK, people in the Rother Valley face unemployment, loss of livelihood and social problems. On the other hand, it is to find a substitute for shipping used consumer goods that contain PET abroad, by taking part in the PET reprocessing market.
Implementation BPR is currently seeking funding to build a test facility near Sheffield, United Kingdom. The valley was the industrial heartland of mining, before rapid decline after the events of the miners strikes in the 1980s.
Impact A clean, cost effective plastic recycling that stimulates local economies.

Idea 03 › Fertiloo & Peepoople
Fertiloo & Peepoople Background
Implementation
According to the WHO, more than three billion people in the world have no access to improved sanitation. As a consequence open defecation is widely practiced, contaminating water-sources and spreading preventable water-born diseases.
Peepoople AB was founded 2006 and is based in Stockholm, Sweden. Research for the Peepoo toilet has been conducted in cooperation with the Swedish University of Agricultural Science and the Royal Institute of Technology. It will be available in late-2010.
Challenge Industrial sanitation solutions are too expensive for developing countries and often disregard local sanitation habits.
Idea Both ideas give access to improved sanitation by designing a low-tech solution. Peepoople is a biodegradable slim bag which is used as a mobile toilet. An inside layer of sterile material prevents all contact with the excrement and guarantees the bag to be odor-free for at least 24 hours. The Fertiloo is a light-weight compost latrine which is installed at Kenyan farms. Its design considers traditional sanitation habits and human waste can later be used as fertilizer.
The Fertiloo was designed by Stanford students and the Kenyan social entrepreneur organization Nuru and costs less than $100, which is the amount of money saved by not having to buy industrial fertilizer.
Impact Safely collecting and reusing human waste not only reduces family health expenses and improves quality of life, but also helps saving 20% of their annual income currently spent on industrial fertilizer and top soil.

Idea 04 › Ciudad Saludable
Ciudad Saludable Background
Implementation
Solid waste management is a serious problem in Peru. Before Ciudad Saludable started its work, some 1,000 tons of garbage were being generated daily in Cono Norte, one of Lima’s largest slums. Only half of it got collected by official municipal workers. Remainders usually were left to accumulate in stinking waste heaps or strewn along public roads and in vacant lots. Futhermore waste often gets dumped into rivers, contaminating the the drinking sources for many families. This situation is alike in towns throughout the country.
Ciudad Saludable provides highly efficient »low-tech trash collection and processing« as well as waste management services that are more dependable and less expensive than those provided by municipal governments. It encourages people to pay a modest fee by using creative and educating marketing incentives that emphazise the health benefits of waste collection. Paying customers sometimes get rewarded by planting trees in front of their houses and prompt payers even receive gifts such as kitchen baskets.
Challenge
Impact
People neither wanted to or couldn’t afford to pay for public waste collection nor had they an awareness of its importance to health issues. Levels of education are low while unemployment and poverty are usually very high.
6 Million peoples living conditions have been improved, thousands of jobs were generated and the general level of education and awareness regarding the reasonable handling of waste raised remarkably. While in upscale suburbs where the city government collects the trash, waste collection payment rates are below 40%, the rates in Ciudad Saludable’s microenterprises districts are over 80% now.
Idea Ciudad Saludable turned these problems into an profitable opportunity. By working in partnership with municipalities, it brought over 1,500 waste collectors in those slums into employment. Their work in return steadily improves health and living conditions for more than 6 million disadvantaged people living in these areas.

NOW?
We make it happen!
We'll map ideas that make waste an issue by providing the world's first idea-sharing and collective intelligence platform solely dedicated to the topic. By making technological, social and cultural waste innovations visible, we pave the ground for a "bottom-up waste revolution". Our mission is to accompany people to a life with sustainable technologies and holistic ways of consumption, by pragmatically bridging the time until concepts like cradle-tocradle replace our current industrial "make-take-waste" paradigm.
Two search modes: Exploration and edutainment mode for lurkers and low-involved people. Research mode for high-involved pro users.
 The most impressive cases are prominently featured on the homepage.
Â
A detailed rich-media description of every case is extended by social networking functions and the possibility to track the ideas development in other countries.
Our community-driven platform will be a Google or OpenMaps mashup that uses the power of visualization and connectivity to other platforms to foster visual sense-making and the "free" travel of waste ideas around the world.

Our application will …
… be the world's first intelligence platform for waste, that not only addresses technological but also social and cultural innovations. … include social networking functions for spreading and replicating already existing "waste innovations" to other countries and industry contexts. … be the first site that collects those ideas in a structured way enabling target-oriented research, comparison and benchmarking. … make heavy use of visualization for sense-making and inspiration. … connect like-minded people from all over the world to facilitate the waste revolution.
But... Who will benefit from such a platform?
Users 01 Environmental Service Industry // Anton Larssen (43), Senior R&D Manager, Business Development @ Veolia, Paris
Anton Larssen Environmental Service Industry Anton regularly executes market and trend research. His main task is to identitfy disruptive patterns or new technological solutions in early stages, that could affect his companies current business models. GWI not only helps him monitoring new market entrances and best practices worldwide but also provides him with interesting insights and ideas that possibly could be integrated into his companies portfolio. Be it via recruitments, investments or partnerships with respective startups or technology providers arranged over GWI or by just transfering interesting (cost-saving) concepts to his business divisions.

By the way: Anton also appreciates the insightful side effect of learning a lot about the different cultural contexts those solutions are embedded into.
Users 02 NGO's // Oleba Numgabi (27), Volunteer Helper @ Terre De Hommes, Bukuni (burkina Faso)
Oleba Numgabi NGO's Oleba knows that many efforts in development aid fail as they don’t take the local contexts and cultures into account sufficiently. But she also knows that many proven ideas and concepts could be easily transferred to even far-away countries that have similar problem areas. That’s why she is very keen on connecting to peers with same interests. Be it for learning exchange or even partnering projects.

GWI helps her in various aspects. First of all, she proudly can make ideas, concepts and achievements of her organization visible and accessible for others. Secondly she is enabled to see, what other help or even commercial organizations are doing and can transfer their concepts to her own problems. And thirdly, her work will benefit from the idea exchange by catalysing eco- or social-entrepreneurship for people in her field of application with simple means.
Users 03 Jeff Clarks
Private Equity // Jeff Clarks (58), Private Investor and Dealmaker @ Sustainvest, London
Private Equity Like Anton, Jeff is always after the next big thing. His problem usually never is having to little money to invest. His dayby-day challenge is knowing where and what to buy into with his clients capital. Western markets are saturated, competition over the few growing industries is very tough and risky. He needs to make informed decisions where business opportunites in early stages of their development become apparent – especially in emerging markets like India and SouthEast Asia, that are hard to access without a dense network on-site.
Photo Credit: www.flickr-com/photos/argonne/5042177106.jpg
For him GWI is another welcomed source for scanning early signals. It serves him as a kind of observation and contact platform for possible investment opportunities in their earliest stages or at least as another highly specialized trend watch tool for a field with highest growth expectations.
Users 04 Governmental Services // Elin Flotabo (45), Administration Secretary @ Ministry of Economics, Copenhagen
Elin Flotabo Governmental Services Elin appreciates GWI for its up-to-date case studies of new waste technologies and initiatives from other countries in the world. A short query through the GWI-API gives important (performance) indicators for her nation compared to others. She can use GWI as an additional benchmark tool to get a feeling of the Âťinnovation performanceÂŤ of other countries.

Susan Steiner (24) // Student @ Zeppelin University, Friedrichshafen, Germany
Susan is an »ordinary student«, having better things to do than engaging herself with waste.
"Ordinary" low-involvement User
The other day a friend of her posted a really cool YouTube-Video on Facebook. It shows a funny bin that thanks every pedestrian for throwing in trash, while it moans with others that carelessly let drop stuff on the footway. After having instantly forwarded the link to other friends, she discovers a whole playlist of funny ideas how to deal with waste and finally GWI - the playlist curator – catches her curiousity. While exploring the various ideas on the map, she realizes how easy it can be to make a small but significant difference in the reasonable handling of waste. She also starts remembering her last year's trip to Asia, where she saw a very pragmatic approach of recycling old bottles by using them to build river rafts and asks herself: “Seems like this idea isn’t in here yet. I could submit this case…”
We are not just starry-eyed idealists.
We believe, if we are successful, we could ‌
Find ways to put social peer pressure on people by building on positivism and promising opportunities to solve our global (waste) problems. Broaden people's perception of waste as a valuable commodity and reenforce cross-cultural collaboration from bottom-up. Raise awareness and make ideas visible that otherwise would have been overlooked. Connect people who make those ideas and their derivatives come true. Facilitate the transfer, adaption and improvement of grassroots and hightech waste ideas around the world.
Inspire the adapted replication of complex and successful technical or social innovation models for akin but different contexts. Provide an open research platform that takes up on cultural practices, geographical conditions and other frequently overlooked variables, that often prevent the assertive implementation of (waste) innovations. Help comparing, discussing and benchmarking existing solutions against each other for their viability within certain problem contexts. Observe and support potential business opportunities all over the world – especially in developing countries.
Catalyze a new dimension of social entrepreneurship.
