GUNTER PAULI
WORKSHOP
hi,
Hello Welcome Next Tuesday, April 13 and Wednesday, April 14, we will count with Gunter Pauli's presence at Valldaura Labs. Gunter and his team of specialists together with the Urban Sciences Lab, and Valldaura Labs of the IAAC, will form a work team for the redesign of the New Porrima: The redesigned, solar-powered Race for Water boat will be present on July 23 at the opening of the Tokyo 2020/21 Olympic Games. It is a great opportunity for the iaac community to work in collaboration with this emblematic project for the international recognition of advanced sustainable and ecological design, so that all its redesign has the brand of IAAC associated to this project
About Gunter:
Gunter Pauli is a Belgian economist born in 1956 in Antwerp (Belgium), president of the student union in Belgium from 1978 to 1980. He was fortunate to meet Aurelio Peccei, the 1st President of the Club of Rome, and thus had the opportunity to take part in the meetings. He learnt the fundamental role of ecology and engaged fully in the “Green Economy” when he took over the reins of the detergents company ECOVER in 1991. He then created the first eco-friendly zero-carbon-emission factory. However, concerned about the image he was conveying to his children, he ended the dream in 1993 when he discovered that the palm oil used to make his products was destroying the Indonesian forest. After some time of reflection in Japan, he bounced back with the creation of the ZERI (Zero Emissions Research and Initiatives) foundation in 1994. Backed this time by a committee of scientists with the aim of developing an economic model respectful of nature and men, obtaining only added value.
The book “The Blue Economy”, a result of this reflection, appeared in 2010 and has since sold 1.4 million copies. His goal today is to disseminate all the innovations that the ZERI Foundation has developed in the form of children’s Fables and describes his Fables as his greatest legacy.
About Porrima:
THREE STRATEGIC GOALS REDUCE For a limited production and a sensible consumption of plastic
RETHINK For a material that is healthy, reusable and easy to integrate in a true circular economy RECOVER TO REPURPOSE For incentivized collecting systems, local and safe plastic waste management and repurposing infrastructures, funded by the entire plastic industry
challenges refit of the interior and exterior design of a solar boat, manufactured with a new design and new material.
