Sustainable Architecture & Construction / Clean Energy
Window Edge Foam is Tinbys name for a piece of insulation foam (“PIR-foam”) in plate form being used as an insulator around windows and doors instead of mineral wool.
PUR/PIR foam plates are an effective insulation materials on the marked. The foam plates are light, easy to handle and mount. The materials low heat conductivity means that a thin layer of insulation can reach high energy efficiency levels, PUR/PIR is very versatile. Therefore, it can be used a variety of places of construction.
PUR is conserving the high insulation ability throughout the entire lifespan because it does not retain moisture or water.
Skumplast is an unique insulation for larger roofs, industrial buildings, buildings for farming or other constructions.
The plates can be places on steel plates or felt board just like felt board can be placed directly on the PUR/PIR foam plates.
Advantages:
High insulation ability even with thinner layers
Long lifespan
Stabile form and dimension
High compressive strength
Water resistant and does not absorb moisture
Low weight
Easily adaptable
Can be produced in your specific size requirements
The material is easy to work with as it,
Easily can be cut and does not crumble or break.
Does not itch when in contact with the body and is not burning it in contact with your eye area.
Has a good resistance to high temperatures (and thereby a low risk of catching fire)

Carmo supplies 10 tons of surplus plastic material each year to the Swedish bag manufacturer Hinza that transforms the material into designer bags. When Hinza uses the 10 tons of plastic each year, the recycling corresponds to a saving of approximately 22,000 kilos of emitted CO2 compared to if the material had been burned as waste material.
Stolen ”R.U.M” – som står for ReUsed Materials - fås i tre varianter, hvor råmaterialet til stolen enten er plast fra elektronikaffald, fiskenet fundet i havet eller et mix af fiskenet og Carlsbergs ølfustager.
Disposable medical devices from a growing network of Belgian hospitals are turned into aesthetic and long-lasting wall covering for healthcare facilities.
Bug Bite Thing® is made from PE and the product is re-usable. The company provides life-long guarantee which is part of their sustainability vision.
The big challenge in hospitals and clinics all over the world is how to fixate the biopsy in formalin without exposure to spillage or vapour. Formaldehyde is a known human carcinogen which affects health in many nega-tive ways. Either when a person is exposed directly or through inhalation. Long term exposure to formaldehyde has been proven to be associated with an in-creased risk of cancer of the nose, nasopharyngeal and lung cancer.
Droneholdet har udviklet den første ”blended-box wing” drone. med et specielt vingedesign, som er udviklet for at gøre fly mere energieffektive. Konstruktionen af vingerne gør, at flyet bruger mindre energi på at holde sig flyvende.
Offshore wind energy is an important source of renewable energy. Decommissioned Vindeby blades were adopted by Technical University of Denmark, DTU Wind, and are currently used in ongoing project activity investigating the fibre-reinforced composite structures.
Giv nyt liv til dine injektionspenne fra Novo Nordisk, Lilly, Sanofi og Merck. Tag dine brugte penne med på apoteket eller din fertilitetsklinik. Materialerne får herefter nyt liv frem for at ende som affald.
The bio garage set is developed and produced to ensure the future growth of sustainable plastic products with focus on sustainable materials, production, play and learn, recycled to become a new item again. The raw material is renewable and made from residuals of the sugarcane production.
All LifeStraw products start with advanced hollow fiber membrane technology. Picture bundles of straws with microscopic holes in them, so small that organisms like bacteria, parasites, and even dirt and microplastics cannot pass through. Think of a super advanced spaghetti strainer or tea sieve.
