Project
Ignited by our ACT4 project, our team has created an easy-to-use tool for measuring carbon footprint that enables individuals to accurately determine their environmental impact. With verified data as our foundation, we have developed a measurement system that empowers individuals to be aware of their lifestyle choices and how to reduce their carbon footprint.
We are in the process of creating a carbon calculator specifically designed for corporates.
Objectives
-
Increase awareness of the footprint attached to our daily activities.
-
Enable pathways to support carbon-mitigating projects.
-
Reduce atmospheric carbon emissions.
Platform
Project
Through collaboration with leading project developers and on-ground organizations, we sell climate compensation certificates, also known as climate credits, which are based on verified measures that either reduce or eliminate atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions.
Objectives
-
Launch a platform that connects and offers greenhousegas-mitigating initiatives
-
Build and offer a carbon calculator designed for companies and individuals
-
Provide verified, certified, and traceable climate credits
-
Contribute to the conservation of key ecosystems, and reduce atmospheric carbon emissions.

Project
Increasing awareness of plastification and pollution of our oceans through campaigns calling for climate action.
Objectives
-
Contribute to ocean- and coastal cleanup
-
Improve marine life habitats
-
Increase awareness of plastification and ocean pollution.
Project
We are creating a virtual reality (VR) ecosystem that enables a “play for impact” model, connecting and correlating activities from VR, with the physical world. Our objective is to create a platform from which we can share knowledge and increase impact through gaming.
Objectives
-
Connect impact activities from VR to the physical world
-
Develop a VR platform
-
Teach and share knowledge through games and entertainment
-
Create a VR carbon calculator

Project
Firsthand knowledge, know-how, and insights from our field of work give us the ability to share and “teach from experience” which we believe is key in order to spark interest in the ordeals of entrepreneurship. The project was an opportunity to enlighten young, bright, and curious minds looking to learn more about the concepts of a circular economy.
Objectives
-
Mitigating the gap between school and entrepreneurship
-
Teach and promote a circular economy
-
Teach and promote entrepreneurship.

Project
In close collaboration with partners across industries, we sought to increase recycling and upcycling rates in the construction sector. Nordic Waves explored and mapped industrial waste streams with low risks and ideal use for recycling and upcycling within the framework of the construction sector's market requirements
Objectives
-
Mitigate industrial conservatism and lower GHG emissions
-
Increase recycling rates
-
Create cross-industrial and cross-border symbioses
-
Create products and roadmaps customized for the construction sector.

Project
Applying circular economic design practices for commercial product development, aiming to incentivize urban bicycling. We sought to combine habits and needs with elegance and smart innovation, grounded in a tailored business model with a net-positive impact ratio.
Objectives
-
Merge urban habits of bicycling and grocery shopping
-
Increase bicycling as means of (urban) transportation
-
Develop a commercial, circular, and innovative product
-
Mitigate urban/city pollution and transport GHG emissions.

Project
Nordic Waves Group joined the circular economic cluster “Grøn Cirkulær Omstilling” (Green Circular Transition) as an official advisory helping SME’s turning linear business processes into more circular.
Objectives
-
Scale circular economy
-
Share know-how and insights
-
Incentivize corporate transformation.

Project
A bio-plastic storage box for the restaurant industry, designed in close collaboration with chefs, restaurant owners, plastic consultants, molding manufacturers, and product designers, we sought to develop a box that met market demands in terms of functionality, durability, and sustainability.
Objectives
-
Mitigate demand for fossil fuel-based plastics
-
Use non-edible, low-cost bio-based PP (polypropylene) that withstands high temperatures, is recyclable, and holds long-term durability
-
User-driven innovation.

Project
Regenerative technology capable of converting industrial hemp-waste into graphene electrode material, ideal for energy storage solutions in the form of ultra-capacitors, with primary applications in the electrical grid and transportation. The project aims to provide renewable energy storage solutions, with a business model keenly focused on regenerative energy and materials economies from sourcing through disposal, to facilitate a global transition from the fossil fuel economy to a relocalized, resilient, and equitable economy with distributed, decentralized, and democratic energy systems.
Objectives
-
Upcycling industrial waste
-
Electricification of societies
-
Carbon-sequestering resource sourcing alternatives to graphite mining activities
-
Providing an end product focused on quality, durability, performance, and affordability
-
Mitigating GHGs through a localized supply chain
-
Promoting renewable energy production and storage, thereby lowering demand for fossil fuels
-
Increasing current energy storage solutions’ capacity, power delivery, lifespan, and safety
-
Bringing farming and manufacturing jobs to rural agricultural communities, including tribal lands.
