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.

Biodegradable ZEP-BAG and reusable burn pouch. Insert ZEP-BAG, slide handle to close and compress. Connect alpine gas and activate anoxic pyrolysis. Sterilize, deodorize, and reduce waste weight by 90%.

“Learn evacuation with An-Tsai—stay calm when crisis strikes.” Taiwan is located in a geopolitically sensitive region. However, topics related to war and evacuation are rarely discussed in everyday life. Most people still have limited understanding of wartime response and evacuation knowledge, and relevant information is not easily accessible. When a disaster or conflict occurs, would you know what to do? Targeting younger audiences, we have organized essential wartime evacuation information. Through the character “An-Tsai,” and using fluorescent green and red in a visual design system, we present the content in an approachable and easy-to-understand way—guiding the younger generation to learn how to prepare in advance and respond effectively during emergencies.
