Zero Carbon Pitch

For the past four years, Zero Carbon Pitch organised by Jockey Club CarbonCare Open Innovation Lab (JC COIL) has offered a platform for innovative low-carbon ideas to grow into feasible plans that contribute to climate actions in Hong Kong. Participating teams are divided into two categories: four InnoTeams incubated by JC COIL and four teams selected from an open public recruitment.

These teams will pitch for various funding awards totalling $115,000 to implement their solutions at both business and community levels. The judging panel will be formed by veterans and independent practitioners from multiple sectors. The public audience will be inspired by zero-carbon innovative solutions and witness the birth of the award winners.

 

Experience Sharing & Award Presentation

We are much honoured to have invited Mr Victor Tsang, Head of Create Hong Kong, Commerce and Economic Development Bureau, the Government of the HKSAR and Miss Donna Tang, Executive Manager, Charities (Grant Making – Sports and Environment), The Hong Kong Jockey Club as our guests of honour for the event. Mr Victor Tsang, Miss Donna Tang as well as representatives from CarbonCare InnoLab and winning teams of Zero Carbon Pitch in previous cycles will share their experiences and insights with the audience. The sharing will be followed by an award presentation ceremony. Around 200 guests are expected to attend the event, including JC COIL’s individual and corporate members from various businesses and professions, impact investors, as well as representatives from charitable foundations, green startups, social enterprises, NGOs, the academia and the media.

 

       “Inno Green Living Choices” Exhibition

An exhibition themed “Inno Green Living Choices” will be concurrently held at the venue, showcasing ways to lead a sustainable lifestyle.  Exhibitors are all winners of previous Zero Carbon Pitch and they have implemented their proposals in real-life business. They are “Reconnect” (solar-powered WiFi sharing service), “Utentials” (reusable tableware and utensil rental service), “Plant Right Now” (first participatory guarantee system (PGS) in Hong Kong that lines up local organic farms and communities), “WeFill” (online market of eco-friendly products), “Infinergy Power Limited” (energy-efficient electrical appliances), “2HAND” (clothing consignment service) and “V Visionary” (sustainable fashion platform).

 

“Audience Popularity Award” Voting

The winning team of the "Audience Popularity Award" will be selected through public voting online and audience voting onsite. The ratio of online voting to audience voting is 3:7, which will be used to calculate the final total number of votes.

Eight Finalist Teams

InnoTeams

1. Flexiture Develop reusable flexible modular furniture for exhibitions and promotional events. The furniture can be reassembled into new furniture after the events for use by institutions in need.
2. Agreenman    A social media platform that integrates environmental protection, education, promotion and public relations. It aims to provide creative marketing strategies for environmental sustainability, targeting local SMEs or green organisations and hopes to drive the trend of environmental protection in Hong Kong.
3. One Pair Straw Combining environmental protection and creativity, the reusable drinking tube can be dismantled for cleaning. All compartments are clearly visible and washable, solving the difficult-to-clean problem of traditional straws.
4. Golden    Enzyme The "Hong Kong-style Diner Lemon Head Recycling Programme" proposes to make non-toxic and carbon-reducing cleaning products with discarded lemon ends.

 

       Open Groups

1. Plant Technology Alliance The proposed domestic kitchen waste processor can help reduce household food waste and the pressure on landfills. The compost produced by the kitchen processor can also be utilised. 
2. TECHPOWER CREATIVE The promotion of solar exhaust fans is expected to bring the concept of environmental protection into domestic setting. It is hoped that the total electricity consumption of the exhaust fans in Hong Kong will eventually be reduced.
3. Plabo Recycle Technology A processor is developed to break up plastic bottles into smaller pieces immediately after collection to reduce the volume of bottles for transportation and thus lower the cost for recycling. The size of the processor is small and suitable for commercial use in buildings and shopping malls. 
4. Link the Unlink Through the award-winning wooden liaison DIY design, old clothes and used bedsheets can be upcycled to make fashionable handbags and promote sustainable fashion.
