WEBINAR – Project Zero econext Circular Economy Incubator

Posted on by Colin Heffernan

What is the circular economy? In our largely linear economy, most of the products we purchase are manufactured from raw materials and are destined to end up in landfills or our oceans after just a few uses. In a circular economy, materials and goods are designed to remain in the system through innovation, reuse and repair, redistribution, reconditioning, and recycling.

This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of the Project Zero econext Incubator, a FREE application-based six-month program designed to support circular ventures.

Participants in the online session will learn more about the structure and schedule for the initiative, the application process, and details on coaching, workshops, and resources available to successful applicants!

Wetland Treatment Solutions (WTS)

Posted on by Colin Heffernan

Wetland Treatment Solutions (WTS) provides wastewater treatment for the industrial, municipal and private sector. WTS specializes in engineered wetland technology. Using the power of nature in as natural an environment as possible to clean up and stabilize sewage – human waste. We deal with the solids (septic sludge) and convert it into a re-usable mineralized/compost material in our sludge cells, and the liquids into clean effluent at secondary or tertiary levels. We can build large or small, full towns or small individual applications – Big or Small we do it all.

Through our association with Sharp Management we generate carbon offsets from these wetland systems, and sell the offsets and transfer the funds back to the wetland projects to reduce their operational costs – our goal is to bring our designs to ZERO cost to operate.

Celerity Craft, Inc.

Posted on by Colin Heffernan

Our vision is to significantly reduce the environmental impact of marine transportation, while delivering a faster and better overall shipping and boating experience.

We will do this by using a fundamentally different approach to boat design, one that has never been commercially introduced before and has significant advantages compared to incumbent solutions including much higher speeds, lower power requirements and reduced environmental impact.

The technology has broad market applicability and is suitable for applications that require high speed, smooth ride, shallow water operation, amphibious, operate in sensitive environments, zero-emissions, or beach landing. It is a better solution for many applications currently served by planning vessels, hydrofoils, hovercraft, military craft and swamp boats.
