How revolutionary can a new type of floor drain in a bathroom really be? More than one might think – the innovation from Umeå can have crucial positive effects on the Earth's climate and the way we use resources. Sweden's energy savings could equate to what a nuclear reactor produces annually. It is no wonder that Enduce is considered one of Sweden's 33 hottest tech startups.
North Sweden Cleantech gathers innovators who go to great lengths in pursuit of solutions that can lead to significant environmental improvements. Gary Cass has gone further than most.

A world-leading centre for green innovation in environmental technology, recycling, green energy and local production in Umeå. That is the vision and goal for the 600-hectare area that is now emerging near Dåva. The area also gets a new name, Dåva Eco-Industrial Park.
Today it goes without saying to recycle. Companies highlight their green profile; employees demand more sustainable routines and there are also legal requirements to have knowledge of and to manage the waste. Lack of time can be an obstacle for this and Caicla therefore provides a recycling solution, where the companies both receive data on how much they put in the bin, as well as having the bins emptied before they are completely full. A smarter recycling solution, quite simply.
A feasibility study carried out by Liquid Wind in partnership with Umeå Energi confirms that there are excellent conditions for establishing Sweden’s third electrofuel facility for the maritime sector at the Dåva cogeneration plant in Umeå. A partnership between Liquid Wind and Umeå Energi is now launched to make the facility a reality.
Vegetation contributes to cleaner the air, lowered carbon dioxide levels, increased well-being and security. In growing cities, the horizontal space for vegetation becomes smaller and the only way to increase the greenery in the city is through vertical cultivations. The Umeå-based company, Vertisà, therefore offers vertical gardens for both indoor and outdoor environments, with local fauna that attracts local insects and create a local ecosystem. A win for both the eye and environment.
