BENTØ will create a sharing economy proposal based on intergenerational co-creation. Seniors with culinary skills who need a platform for development will be gathered at a "Bento School" for centralized training and meal preparation. Delivered in collaboration with university volunteers, this initiative preserves traditional signature dishes while partnering with universities and enterprises to build a sustainable sharing economy.
ZEP: Zero Excrement Professional
Department of Industrial Design, Tatung University
With the growing popularity of mountaineering, alpine ecosystems face severe challenges from biological waste pollution. "ZEP" is a zero-impact alpine waste management system designed for extreme high-altitude environments. Utilizing advanced Anoxic Pyrolysis Technology, ZEP thoroughly sterilizes and deodorizes human waste in an oxygen-free, high-temperature chamber. The system drastically reduces waste weight by up to 90%, transforming environmental burdens into stable, sterile mineral carbon blocks for climbers to easily carry down the mountain. It features a sleek industrial metal aesthetic and an intuitive interface. ZEP fully embodies the Leave No Trace (LNT) philosophy, offering a visionary circular economy solution for sustainable alpine ecology.
