Kapture’s Post

I'm beyond excited to share that my team and I emerged as the 2nd Runner-Up in the recently concluded #3MTTHackathon2.0! Competing against incredible teams from different ALCs within Owerri, it was an amazing opportunity to showcase innovation and teamwork. As the Team Lead for our project, I can confidently say it wasn't easy, but the effort was absolutely worth it. Our Waste Management App is designed to: - Allow users to report waste problems such as littered areas and illegal dumping. - Scan and prioritize urgent waste issues needing immediate intervention. - Enable trading of recyclable waste in a dedicated marketplace. - Reward users with coupons that can be converted into monetary value. Special appreciation goes to our instructors Iheanyichukwu Aguwa and Chinomso Daniel Okoronkwo for their unwavering support and guidance, and to 3MTT for creating this platform to inspire innovation. Together, we’ve shown the power of tech for good! Here’s to building more impactful solutions for a better tomorrow. 🙌 #3MTTImoSummit #3MTTIMO #3MTTHackathon2.0 #TechForGood

Jolijn Zwart-van Kessel, Innovation Lead Circular Agrifood Foodvalley NL, opened this hub with insights from the visions and messages presented from the publication Circular Agrifood & biomass, released in 2023*. We brought together various stakeholders in the transition process towards a circular agrifood economy sharing their insights: - Imke de Boer, Professor at the Wageningen University & Research: What is the Agrifood system of the future? - Marten Van den Berg, Director-General Ministry of Agriculture: How do you steer towards a new system? - Prof Dr Jeroen Hugenholtz, Co-founder & CTO at No Palm Ingredients: Scaling up difficulties in a market that does not yet exist. - Derk Van Manen, Manager of Quality Nutrition & Research at Duynie Followed by an in-depth panel discussion to enrich the future vision of Upcycled food with a bridge to daily practice. Jolijn said, “A lot of challenges can bring opportunities if we work together in making that new Agrifood system the new normal”. 🎬 Watch the after-movie here: https://lnkd.in/e399jfvS Thanks to all the speakers mentioned above and Marjolein A.J. Brasz for setting the scene on the theme of circularity, Duynie Group, and Duynie Ingredients for hosting this launch, Freek van Eijk for moderating this hub.

CEO and Co-Founder of {CODENAME: E-LIXR}, Sam Payrovi, has a vision to create a sustainable transport service that scales alongside premium ride-share companies like Uber The idea for the {CODENAME: E-LIXR} service was inspired by Sam’s floating private members club, ARKHAUS —when his team realized there was a need for an eco-friendly waterborne mobility solution to transport his guests. Through his ambition to solve this problem, the concept of {CODENAME: E-LIXR} was born, a concept that has since developed into a vision to create the all-electric, zero-emission water transport future America deserves.

Back in September, we had the pleasure of being sponsor of the month for Wasteshark Leeds, celebrating its official launch just a few months earlier in July. 🦈 So, how’s the little guy been doing since then? Let’s dive into the stats... During our sponsor month, WasteShark covered an impressive 4.59 kilometres and scooped up a whopping 768 litres of mixed waste (both man-made and natural) - that’s a huge amount for one little drone! Since it first entered Leeds' waterways, the bot has travelled 19.44 kilometres and removed an incredible 2,136 litres of waste. 👏 While we recognise that there's still a lot of work to do when it comes to changing behaviours and caring for our environment, it's projects like these that really drive forward the power of innovation and collaboration. They’re a reminder of how technology can actively support and sustain our natural world. 🌎 As WasteShark Leeds continues its journey, we can’t wait to see even more initiatives like this emerge as we head into 2025! A big thank-you to the organisations behind this amazing project: Yorkshire Design Group | Canal Connections CIC | Wasteshark Leeds | RanMarine Technology  #CollaborateForChange #TechForGood #WasteShark #DroneTechnology #SustainableInnovation #Leeds #WasteManagement #EnvironmentMatters #PlasticPollution #WeAreCPW

Delighted to see Roke become the latest buyer of the JOSCAR Zero community. JOSCAR Zero has been designed to support buyers and suppliers with their carbon reduction and as a community, work towards Net Zero. By delivering primary carbon emissions data at site level, your organisation can demonstrate tangible and auditable evidence that you are working towards the Net Zero target with your supply chain. The provision of action plans, tailored based on each supplier's data, provides awareness of where suppliers are against the Net Zero timeline and provides a strategy to help them reduce their carbon emissions. If you are interested in learning more, drop me a message or pick up the phone and let's discuss. #JOSCARZero #JOSCAR #collaboration #sustainability

As a team, we’ve spent a lot of time over the course of the past year redefining and refining our core values as a company. We started with regenerative systems thinking and scrapped everything we had to start from scratch. We asked things like: > Who are we and what do we aspire to be? > What do we want to bring into this world? > What makes Wildway, Wildway? > How do we think, act, and show up in order to make a difference? > What do we need from each other, as a team, and as an organization to create the positive change we seek to make in the world? It was an incredibly iterative, creative, and cooperative process (as it should be), and I’m incredibly proud of our team and the work they've done.  Here’s a sneak peak of the first of five of Wildway's core values that came from this process. A testament to how we have to think and act to create a truly ethical, just, and regenerative future. 1. Be Unbound by Convention Being unbound by convention means that we do things Wildly different. It’s embracing change, challenging the status quo, and excelling beyond the standard. It's not about the numbers or the metrics, but about pioneering a new way forward that creates opportunities for positive change. Its actively progressing past and challenging conventional ways by embracing unconventional ideas.
