Our Projects
Basola
Solar Fuel from Plastic Waste for Sustainable Development
In many remote regions, efficient waste management solutions are lacking. Basola is developing a solar-powered pyrolysis plant that converts plastic waste into usable fuel. Our first pilot project will be implemented in Ladrilleros, Colombia, in 2025. With this initiative, we aim to create a sustainable alternative to conventional waste disposal while supporting local communities.

Kommit
The mediation service that takes senior citizens out of loneliness
The "Kommit" project, initiated by four students from Karlsruhe, aims to combat loneliness among senior women. They recognised that it is not a lack of events that is the problem, but barriers such as a lack of internet affinity and mobility that prevent senior women from participating. Kommit offers a matchmaking service that proactively reaches out to senior women and invites them to social activities. The service is aimed at around 19 million senior women in Germany, especially those who live alone.

Bee4people
Beekeeping with addicts
As a group of students and addicts, we meet weekly to look after the bees. While we mainly meet at our apiaries from spring to autumn and accompany the bees throughout the year, we make various bee products during the cold winter months, such as wax cloths, our own honey soap or insect hotels.
