Notpla ( not plastic) provide a range of all-natural packaging solutions made from seaweed. They are 100% biodegradable and home-compostable - just like a piece of fruit. The team behind Notpla first bought the world Ooho's - edible sachets filled with water - used in the London Marathon. But have expanded to deliver sauce sachets, pipettes, paper, film-based packaging, rigid protective packaging and water/grease proof coatings for takeaway food containers. https://www.notpla.com/
On construction sites, big power loads are needed for big equipment. Often much of this power comes from diesel generators. Diesel is a highly polluting fossil fuel, spills can occur, and diesel generators can be very noisy. AMPD Energy has designed a continuously operating battery storage system that is safe for the rough and tumble of construction sites, 30% less noisy and of course produces no diesel particulates and 85% less CO2. Most importantly they are able to deliver the high-power loads needed, for example, to run massive equipment like cranes.https://www.ampd.energy/
Nuclear Fusion remains an elusive source of clean, abundant, non-radioactive energy. This is largely because the temperatures needed to fuse elements together have traditionally required so much energy the whole reaction results in a net loss of energy. By introducing lasers to speed up the heating process, some net energy gains have been demonstrated - albeit for very short durations. But a radically different approach, which uses lasers to accelerate the movement of hydrogen through boron, holds the potential promise of being able to generate petawatts of clean, non-radioactive electricity directly from the unit. https://youtu.be/OlGzt9ur1bY
