Samsung Solve for Tomorrow empowers young STEM talent worldwide to tackle environmental and social challenges through innovative ideas. Samsung showcases the stories of these young innovators striving for sustainability in their communities through Bloomberg, featuring "Team Green." Team Green, a group of animated climate heroes, illustrates Samsung’s various sustainability initiatives. This time, Team Green meets participants from Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, documenting their successes and challenges while exploring sustainable solutions together.
New Life for Waste Plastic
Team Green's ocean conservationist, Jacques, met with Peru’s Samsung Solve for Tomorrow team. The Peruvian team went beyond simply recycling plastic bottles that end up in the ocean; they are producing sturdy and affordable 3D-printed splints for stroke patients. This initiative not only tackles environmental issues but also provides practical solutions for underserved communities, achieving two goals at once.
Revisiting Insects as the Solution to Waste Problems
Team Green's climate expert, Willow, visited the team from the United States. This team proposed an effective way to manage food waste using black soldier fly larvae. These larvae consume waste, preventing the release of methane, a harmful greenhouse gas produced during decomposition. This inspiring solution shows how even small insects can make a significant impact on environmental challenges.
A New Era of Charging Powered by Movement
Team Green’s energy consultant, Robbie, met French students who have created an innovative prototype to charge smartphones by harnessing electromagnetic fields and human movement. This project proposes a new, sustainable approach to energy use, offering a creative and efficient way to conserve energy and protect the environment.
A Journey Toward a Sustainable Future
On this journey, Team Green met young innovators from Samsung Solve for Tomorrow program, witnessing firsthand how they creatively and practically address environmental and community challenges.
