Made from waste instead of trees
TechTransfer
ETH Zurich
The start-up Treeless Pack produces cellulose with microorganisms - entirely without wood. The cellulose can be used to produce paper, packaging material or composites for the construction industry in a resource-saving way.
In the great outdoors
Teaching
ETH Zurich
ETH students are mapping the groundwater in an area of forest near Bern. This fieldwork will give them the skills they need for a career in environmental engineering.
Computation Model Paves the Way for More Efficient Energy Systems
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers make theoretical breakthrough in thermoelectric material to better harness waste heat for sustainable energy.
Valuable raw materials from olive waste
TechTransfer
ETH Zurich
ETH spin-off Gaia Tech transforms waste from olive oil production into high-quality antioxidants for use in cosmetics or food. This turns waste into valuable raw materials.
Capturing carbon where it is produced
Research
EPFL
EPFL engineers propose a system-wide integration solution for carbon capturing and mineralisation in the cement production, steel manufacturing, and waste incineration sectors. 
Exploring a new approach to treating collapsed airways in newborns
Research
EPFL
In collaboration with CHUV, EPFL engineers propose wrapping an adhesive hydrogel patch around a collapsed trachea for treatment of Tracheomalacia.
