Ukrainian eco-inventions.

It is extremely important for humanity to contribute to the preservation of the planet, especially for future generations.
Ukraine does not stand aside and tries in every possible way to help improve the climate situation and reduce environmental pollution.
The GSM-Forsage team has collected advanced Ukrainian ecological developments for you, because we need to know and support our developers.

Rekava

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks. For example, thousands of tons of waste in the form of coffee grounds are thrown into the trash only in coffee shops. This is exactly what the Rekava startup is working with.
They make disposable cups, candles, and plant pots — all from recycled coffee grounds.
Secondary raw materials from corn, eggshell and other natural components are also used.
Rekava products are completely biodegradable.
The glasses decompose in about one and a half to three months.
And they can be disposed of as animal feed, or as fertilizer or pellets for heating.

Generator-utilizer

"Bio-waste is real gold for Ukraine, thanks to which it is possible to abandon blue fuel and reduce the load on the energy infrastructure," says the director of the "Energy-Efficient Technologies" Center of the Ternopil National Pedagogical University named after Hnatyuka Valery Fedoreyko.
It was there that they created a unique generator-utilizer that works on bio-waste and provides enterprises with thermal energy.
They can also be used for drying concrete, firing bricks and heating greenhouses.
Advantages of such generators:
- in terms of cost savings — obtaining thermal energy in this way is 14 times cheaper than using natural gas;
- in improving the state of the environment — disposal of bio-waste is carried out in order to avoid its decay.
Therefore, generators-utilizers create a replacement and provide an opportunity to save natural gas.

A device for the study of water

The development belongs to Nikita Nevyedrov, a student from Zhytomyr. He presented a special project — a mobile platform for geodetic and ecological water research.
The platform can measure quality, temperature, acidity and depth at a specific point in the water body. It records all indicators on an SD card, and then these data can be processed and visualized on a computer.
The uniqueness of the development lies in the fact that thanks to it, it is possible to quickly and easily carry out ecological studies of water bodies and it does not require a lot of resources and time.
In the future, Nikita plans to improve it: to add a special module for measuring the level of radiation pollution.

Releaf Paper

Releaf is a company producing paper products from fallen leaves, founded in 2020 by Oleksandr Sobolenko and Valentin Frechka.
Everyone understands that eventually the use of plastic should go down to 0. So this company created an ecological alternative by recycling leaves.
The founders note that every ton of paper made from fallen leaves saves 17 trees from being cut down.
At first, Releaf did not have its own capacity, paper was produced in Zhytomyr, and then in Lutsk. But this year it became known that the company received a grant from the EU in the amount of €2.5 million to create its own factory. France was chosen among the countries.
And in Ukraine, Releaf Paper products are already used by well-known companies, including: L'Oreal, Samsung, Weleda, Schneider Electric.Environmental problems that exist today on our planet are the consequences of human actions. Therefore, each of us can contribute to the protection of the environment: use electricity and water sparingly, consume products and things wisely, and reduce the amount of waste.
Let's help our planet with joint efforts!
