“ Revolutionary change does not come as one cataclysmic moment but as an endless succession of surprises, moving zigzag toward a more decent society. We don't have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions ” of people, can transform the world. Howard Zinn († January 27, 2010)

While world politicians gather at isolated summits, people already take action. The cases above are consequences of single ideas originated in creativity, suffer, circumstance, curiosity or need. Many waste ideas and solutions emerge in families, communities and innovative organisations. Often unrecognized. Everywhere these agents of change take action. Now.

We make it happen!
We'll map ideas that make waste an issue by providing the world's first idea-sharing and collective intelligence platform solely dedicated to the topic. By making technological, so- cial and cultural waste innovations visible, we pave the ground for a bottom-up waste revolution. Our mission is to accompany people to a life with sustainable technologies and holistic ways of consumption, by pragmatically bridging the time until concepts like cradle-to- cradle replace our current industrial make-take-waste paradigm.
Two search modes: Exploration and edutainment mode for lurkers and low-involved people. Research mode for high-involved pro users.       The most impressive cases are prominently featured A detailed rich-media description of every on the homepage. case is extended by social networking functions and the possibility to track the ideas development in other countries. Our community-driven platform will be a Google or OpenMaps mashup that uses the power of visualization and connectivity to other platforms to foster visual sense-making and the free travel of waste ideas around the world.
      Our community-driven platform will be a Google or OpenMaps mashup that uses the power of visualization and connectivity to other platforms to foster visual sense-making and the free travel of waste ideas around the world.
Our application will … … be the world's first intelligence platform for waste, that not only addresses technological but also social and cultural innovations. … include social networking functions for spreading and replicating already existing waste innovations to other countries and industry contexts. … be the first site that collects those ideas in a structured way enabling target-oriented research, comparison and benchmarking. … make heavy use of visualization for sense-making and inspiration. … connect like-minded people from all over the world to facilitate the waste revolution.
But... Who will benefit from such a platform?
Users 01 Environmental Service In- dustry // Anton Larssen (43), Senior RD Manager, Busi- ness Development @ Veolia, Paris Anton Larssen Environmental Service Industry Anton regularly executes market and trend research. His main task is to identitfy dis- ruptive patterns or new technological so- lutions in early stages, that could affect his companies current business models. GWI not only helps him monitoring new market entrances and best practices worldwide but also provides him with interesting insights and ideas that pos- sibly could be integrated into his compa- nies portfolio. Be it via recruitments, in- vestments or partnerships with respective startups or technology providers arranged over GWI or by just transfering interesting (cost-saving) concepts to his business di- visions. By the way: Anton also appreciates the insightful side effect of learning a lot about the different cultural contexts those Photo Credit: www.flickr.com_photos_beglendc_330353975.jpg solutions are embedded into.
Users 02 NGO's // Oleba Numgabi (27), Volunteer Helper @ Terre De Oleba Numgabi Hommes, Bukuni (burkina Faso) NGO's Oleba knows that many efforts in devel- opment aid fail as they don’t take the local contexts and cultures into account sufficiently. But she also knows that many proven ideas and concepts could be eas- ily transferred to even far-away countries that have similar problem areas. That’s why she is very keen on connecting to peers with same interests. Be it for learn- ing exchange or even partnering projects. GWI helps her in various aspects. First of all, she proudly can make ideas, concepts and achievements of her organization vis- ible and accessible for others. Secondly she is enabled to see, what other help or even commercial organizations are do- ing and can transfer their concepts to her own problems. And thirdly, her work will benefit from the idea exchange by cata- lysing eco- or social-entrepreneurship for people in her field of application with Photo Credit: www.flickr-com/photos/usag-yongsan/2808245888.jpg simple means.
Users 03 Private Equity // Jeff Clarks Jeff Clarks (58), Private Investor and Dealmaker @ Sustainvest, Private Equity London Like Anton, Jeff is always after the next big thing. His problem usually never is having to little money to invest. His day- by-day challenge is knowing where and what to buy into with his clients capital. Western markets are saturated, competi- tion over the few growing industries is very tough and risky. He needs to make informed decisions where business op- portunites in early stages of their devel- opment become apparent – especially in emerging markets like India and South- East Asia, that are hard to access without a dense network on-site. For him GWI is another welcomed source for scanning early signals. It serves him as a kind of observation and contact plat- form for possible investment opportuni- ties in their earliest stages or at least as another highly specialized trend watch tool for a field with highest growth ex- Photo Credit: www.flickr-com/photos/argonne/5042177106.jpg pectations.
Users 04 Governmental Services // Elin Flotabo (45), Administration Secretary @ Ministry of Eco- nomics, Copenhagen Elin Flotabo Governmental Services Elin appreciates GWI for its up-to-date case studies of new waste technologies and initiatives from other countries in the world. A short query through the GWI-API gives important (performance) indicators for her nation compared to others. She can use GWI as an additional benchmark tool to get a feeling of the »innovation performance« of other countries. Additionally she becomes aware of emerging future fields in waste innova- tions that could also be relevant for her Photo Credit: www. flickr-com/photos/jimgris/3755334432.jpg regional business development activities.
Users 05 Susan Steiner Ordinary low-involvement User Susan Steiner (24) // Student @ Zeppelin University, Frie- Susan is an »ordinary student«, having drichshafen, Germany better things to do than engaging herself with waste. The other day a friend of her posted a re- ally cool YouTube-Video on Facebook. It shows a funny bin that thanks every pe- destrian for throwing in trash, while it moans with others that carelessly let drop stuff on the footway. After having instantly forwarded the link to other friends, she discovers a whole playlist of funny ideas how to deal with waste and finally GWI - the playlist cura- tor – catches her curiousity. While explor- ing the various ideas on the map, she re- alizes how easy it can be to make a small but significant difference in the reason- able handling of waste. She also starts remembering her last year's trip to Asia, where she saw a very pragmatic approach of recycling old bottles by using them to build river rafts and asks herself: “Seems like this idea isn’t in here yet. I could submit this case…”
We are not just starry-eyed idealists.
We believe, if we are successful, we could …
Find ways to put social peer pressure on people by building on positivism and promising opportunities to solve our global (waste) problems. Broaden people's perception of waste as a valuable commodity and re- enforce cross-cultural collaboration from bottom-up. Raise awareness and make ideas visible that otherwise would have been overlooked. Connect people who make those ideas and their derivatives come true. Facilitate the transfer, adaption and improvement of grassroots and high- tech waste ideas around the world.
Inspire the adapted replication of complex and successful technical or social innovation models for akin but different contexts. Provide an open research platform that takes up on cultural practices, geographical conditions and other frequently overlooked variables, that often prevent the assertive implementation of (waste) innovations. Help comparing, discussing and benchmarking existing solutions against each other for their viability within certain problem contexts. Observe and support potential business opportunities all over the world – especially in developing countries. Catalyze a new dimension of social entrepreneurship.

    Users 03 Private Equity// Jeff Clarks Jeff Clarks (58), Private Investor and Dealmaker @ Sustainvest, Private Equity London Like Anton, Jeff is always after the next big thing. His problem usually never is having to little money to invest. His day- by-day challenge is knowing where and what to buy into with his clients capital. Western markets are saturated, competi- tion over the few growing industries is very tough and risky. He needs to make informed decisions where business op- portunites in early stages of their devel- opment become apparent – especially in emerging markets like India and South- East Asia, that are hard to access without a dense network on-site. For him GWI is another welcomed source for scanning early signals. It serves him as a kind of observation and contact plat- form for possible investment opportuni- ties in their earliest stages or at least as another highly specialized trend watch tool for a field with highest growth ex- Photo Credit: www.flickr-com/photos/argonne/5042177106.jpg pectations.

    Users 04 Governmental Services// Elin Flotabo (45), Administration Secretary @ Ministry of Eco- nomics, Copenhagen Elin Flotabo Governmental Services Elin appreciates GWI for its up-to-date case studies of new waste technologies and initiatives from other countries in the world. A short query through the GWI-API gives important (performance) indicators for her nation compared to others. She can use GWI as an additional benchmark tool to get a feeling of the »innovation performance« of other countries. Additionally she becomes aware of emerging future fields in waste innova- tions that could also be relevant for her Photo Credit: www. flickr-com/photos/jimgris/3755334432.jpg regional business development activities.

    Users 05 Susan Steiner Ordinary low-involvement User Susan Steiner (24) // Student @ Zeppelin University, Frie- Susan is an »ordinary student«, having drichshafen, Germany better things to do than engaging herself with waste. The other day a friend of her posted a re- ally cool YouTube-Video on Facebook. It shows a funny bin that thanks every pe- destrian for throwing in trash, while it moans with others that carelessly let drop stuff on the footway. After having instantly forwarded the link to other friends, she discovers a whole playlist of funny ideas how to deal with waste and finally GWI - the playlist cura- tor – catches her curiousity. While explor- ing the various ideas on the map, she re- alizes how easy it can be to make a small but significant difference in the reason- able handling of waste. She also starts remembering her last year's trip to Asia, where she saw a very pragmatic approach of recycling old bottles by using them to build river rafts and asks herself: “Seems like this idea isn’t in here yet. I could submit this case…”

    Find ways toput social peer pressure on people by building on positivism and promising opportunities to solve our global (waste) problems. Broaden people's perception of waste as a valuable commodity and re- enforce cross-cultural collaboration from bottom-up. Raise awareness and make ideas visible that otherwise would have been overlooked. Connect people who make those ideas and their derivatives come true. Facilitate the transfer, adaption and improvement of grassroots and high- tech waste ideas around the world.

    Inspire the adaptedreplication of complex and successful technical or social innovation models for akin but different contexts. Provide an open research platform that takes up on cultural practices, geographical conditions and other frequently overlooked variables, that often prevent the assertive implementation of (waste) innovations. Help comparing, discussing and benchmarking existing solutions against each other for their viability within certain problem contexts. Observe and support potential business opportunities all over the world – especially in developing countries. Catalyze a new dimension of social entrepreneurship.
