October 2020: Pyrowave | Cervest | Orora
Plastic regeneration, climate volatility and wildfire detection
By Megan Wibberley. Share it with friends, they can sign up here. Every month, I share three teams working on Earth tech and innovation.
🇨🇦 Pyrowave: Regenerating Plastics with Microwaves 🛢
Pyrowave’s technology regenerates plastics by breaking them back down into their original raw materials. Here’s the key: the process restores the materials to their full original value instead of recycled lower value. (SDG 12)
🇬🇧 Cervest: Predicting climate volatility 🌪
Cervest uses AI to predict and model climate risk for specific assets and geographies. Important software for climate risk disclosure obligations, insurance planning and operational risk analysis. (SDG 12, SDG 9)
🇩🇪 Orora: Detecting forest fire from space 🛰
Orora Technologies uses satellite imagery and machine vision to detect wildfire hotspots early, monitor risks and predict fire growth. (SDG 15)
