Meta­mor­phous: Reduce con­sump­tion and increase effi­cien­cy (Fash­ion category)
How can design influ­ence the con­sump­tion of fash­ion? The Meta­mor­phous col­lec­tion address­es this ques­tion with­out deny­ing cloth­ing as a means of com­mu­ni­cat­ing and express­ing the wearer’s per­son­al ver­sa­til­i­ty. Instead, each gar­ment becomes more effi­cient, trans­form­ing into dif­fer­ent looks and adapt­ing to the per­son in his dai­ly life. The tech­niques of trans­for­ma­tion are inspired by the process­es of meta­mor­pho­sis, which dif­fer­ent species have already per­fect­ed as the abil­i­ty to reshape their appear­ance to fit the demands of a new stage of life.

Easyp­isi Pot­ty: The first pot­ty with splash guard (Kids category)
The Easyp­isi is a nov­el prod­uct for the age-old method of “hold­ing it”. It is designed for new­borns whose par­ents want a dia­per-free upbring­ing. With Easyp­isi there is a dou­ble sus­tain­able effect: par­ents use less to no dia­pers because they use the pot­ty and Easyp­isi itself is made of 100% recy­cled mate­r­i­al. What’s more, Easyp­isi has a splash guard, which pre­vents boys in par­tic­u­lar from spilling any­thing when going to the toilet.

The Sion: A solar-pow­ered e‑car (Mobil­i­ty category)
The Sion can gen­er­ate an aver­age of 112km/week from solar ener­gy through its more than 248 solar cells seam­less­ly inte­grat­ed into the body. Thanks to bi-direc­tion­al charg­ing, the Sion can not only absorb pow­er but also deliv­er it, serv­ing as a buffer stor­age. The fac­to­ry-inte­grat­ed shar­ing soft­ware in all Sions makes it pos­si­ble to share a ride, the Sion or stored ener­gy with oth­ers. With the Sion, Sono Motors aims to bring a dis­rup­tive yet afford­able tech­nol­o­gy to the mar­ket so that every­one can con­tribute to sustainability.

from the ash­es: A glass for future gen­er­a­tions (Cat­e­go­ry New Materials)
Glass is often con­sid­ered sus­tain­able because it can be recy­cled seem­ing­ly end­less­ly. But in addi­tion to an incal­cu­la­ble ener­gy con­sump­tion, it requires prob­lem­at­ic ingre­di­ents. Lime, which has a lim­it­ed sup­ply and is mined in gigan­tic mines with known prob­lems. And soda ash, whose avail­abil­i­ty is chang­ing dra­mat­i­cal­ly due to cli­mate change. from the ash­es draws on end­less resources in the form of waste: using wood ash from piz­za bak­ers and mus­sel shells from restau­rants, sand is turned into a glass that is ener­gy-sav­ing and tru­ly recyclable.

Ter­ra­caps: The sus­tain­able cof­fee cap­sule (Con­sumer Goods category)
Ter­ra­caps are cer­ti­fied bio-based, indus­tri­al­ly com­postable, oxy­gen-tight, CO₂-neu­tral and thus all-around sus­tain­able cof­fee cap­sules for Nespres­so machines. The veg­an, GMO- and gluten-free cap­sules are made from a spe­cial­ly devel­oped bio-plas­tic and have a par­tic­u­lar­ly high oxy­gen bar­ri­er that pro­tects the cof­fee for a long time. This com­bi­na­tion of inno­va­tion, qual­i­ty and sus­tain­abil­i­ty is appre­ci­at­ed by numer­ous cus­tomers worldwide.

Reusable Hyaluron Pads: Effec­tive wrin­kle reduc­tion with the first appli­ca­tion (Con­sumer Goods category)
The Pads are made of 100% med­ical-grade sil­i­cone and are enriched with high-qual­i­ty hyaluron as the only active ingre­di­ent. They are self-adhe­sive and are sim­ply stuck on the dry, clean skin area. Thanks to the micro­cli­mate cre­at­ed there, the hyaluron can pen­e­trate deep into the skin, mois­tur­izes, stim­u­lates blood cir­cu­la­tion and cell renew­al. The result: clin­i­cal­ly proven wrin­kle reduc­tion. Accord­ing to the man­u­fac­tur­er, all pads can be reused up to 30 times.

MYLK Oat Drink Machine: Low-emis­sion oat drink for super­mar­kets (Con­sumer Goods category)
To make a car­ton of milk sus­tain­able, the con­tents need to be changed. Oat drinks are a good alter­na­tive, but the trans­port weight of the water in the filled Tetra Paks caus­es high trans­port emis­sions and pack­ag­ing emis­sions could be sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduced. The MYLK  vend­ing machine enables the first fresh oat drink prepa­ra­tion in the super­mar­ket. The oat mix­ture is mixed with water in the super­mar­ket and thus reduces trans­port emis­sions com­pared to pack­aged oat drinks. Pack­ag­ing emis­sions are elim­i­nat­ed as super­mar­ket cus­tomers fill up their own bottles.

Organ­ic Oat Drink: plant-based bev­er­age (Con­sumer Goods category)
Greenforce’s veg­an Easy Mix prod­ucts become veg­an meats like burg­ers, veg­an drinks like organ­ic oat drink or veg­an eggs by sim­ply adding water. Since the prod­ucts do not require a cold chain, have a long shelf life and can there­fore be pro­duced in stock, they are even more sus­tain­able than oth­er plant-based prod­ucts. In addi­tion, the prod­ucts are high in pro­tein, made in Ger­many and climate-neutral.
