5 very ecological inventions that will not change the world but will damage it less

One of the biggest concerns we have on this planet, covid part, are the effects that climate change can cause on the environment and therefore on our future as a species. Hence, there are more and more researchers dedicated to developing a technology that lessens the impact of what we are contributing to this global warming. This is what we know as eco-sustainable inventions, many of them based on the reuse of materials whose manufacturing contaminates and that we usually discard. Let's go with some of the most pointers and striking.

Coffee ink

We owe the first to the Korean engineer Jeon Hwan Ju, who invented a printer that uses ground coffee as ink, thus avoiding the chemicals that are part of traditional inks. The printer, named Riti Printer, does not need electricity to function either, since it is the user himself who prints the sheet by moving the tank attached to the head from one side to the other

Sugarcane bottles, containers and freezer bags

They are not a recent invention because they have been on the market for more than 10 years, although their use has been minor until now. Their appearance is similar to that of any plastic, but the material from which they are made has nothing to do with those derived from petrochemicals. In addition to being able to recycle, they are usually compostable and in the worst case, they degrade quickly without harming the environment.

Eco-sustainable inventions are based on the reuse of materials whose manufacturing contaminates and which we usually throw away

Lamps without electricity

Solar lamps are very good... when it's sunny, but what happens in countries where the hours of darkness are many or where the sun hardly penetrates because they are jungles? Aisa Mijeño, is a researcher at the University of La Salle in the Philippines and has designed the prototype of a lamp that does not need electricity to work since it only needs a glass of seawater or salt water to start up. The autonomy of these lamps is 8 hours and of course, they do not contaminate anything at all.

Seedling cigarettes

Cigarette consumption, apart from affecting health, contaminates twice: first through smoke and then through the cigarette butt whose filter, made with fifteen thousand monoacetate fibers, takes about fifteen years in decompose. If we take into account that there are close to a billion smokers worldwide, the following invention, the result of the imagination and work of the English designer Ben Forman, is not nonsense. It consists of a biodegladable filter inside which there are several seeds of wild flowers, so that when it is disposed of, these seeds germinate and flourish. A good idea to change the ashtrays for pots.

Newsprint Furniture

We're talking about the alternative to clearing forests, which is what prompted Dutch designer Mieke Meijer of the company Vij5 to create a method by which rolled up newsprint They end up becoming logs and planks in which the grain of the wood is perfectly imitated and whose durability and properties are identical to that of any traditional furniture.
