Inspired by the Venus flower basket's efficient cellular architecture, Metavoxel Technologies has developed 3-D modular building materials. This innovation addresses the environmental impact of traditional construction, which consumes vast resources and contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and waste.

Engineers design cellular blocks from materials like wood and biocomposites. These can be robotically assembled into strong, ultra-lightweight metamaterials for diverse applications, including buildings and vehicles. This revolutionary approach reduces raw material use and carbon footprint, embodying nature's principle of "doing more with less."

Christine’s TEDx presentation addresses food waste, a significant global environmental issue, particularly in Hong Kong. She emphasizes that individuals and organizations have direct control to reduce food loss. The talk proposes collaboration among Hong Kong, Macao, and Guangdong to transform their food culture for waste reduction.

Christine's extensive career includes serving as a Legislator, CEO of Civic Exchange, and Undersecretary for the Environment, HKSAR Government. She currently teaches at HKUST and UCLA. Learn more about TEDx at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Inspired by millions of years of natural evolution, Fusion Bionic harnesses the surface properties of plants and insects to create advanced functional surface technology. Their laser technology engraves micro and nano textures onto materials, efficiently mimicking nature's solutions and outperforming traditional methods.

For instance, lotus leaves repel water and dirt, while moth eyes are naturally anti-reflective. By mimicking these structures, Fusion Bionic optimizes materials for eyeglasses, smartphones, solar panels, vehicles, and electronic connectors, reducing energy and chemical use.

Our livers use enzymes to break down complex molecules, inspiring Sudoc, a non-toxic industrial cleaning solution. While traditional cleaning often relies on harsh chemicals, creating toxic conditions, Sudoc offers a sustainable alternative.

Sudoc employs biomimicry, mimicking liver enzymes to create catalysts. Paired with oxidants like hydrogen peroxide, these catalysts accelerate the breakdown of pathogens, drugs, pesticides, and industrial contaminants in land and water, achieving zero elemental toxicity.

The Biomimicry Institute recognized Sudoc in its 2022 Ray of Hope Prize Program. For more, visit Sudoc, Biomimicry Institute, AskNature, Root House Studio, and Ray C. Anderson Foundation.
