PLANTABLE BIO-BAG (EARTHTECH CHALLENGE 2020-FINALISTS)
A Plantable Bio-Bag is a pro-environmental product that is plantable, recyclable, biodegradable, sustainable, cost-effective, and helpful in the mitigation of climate change. Embedded in the corn husk bags are calamansi seeds. After using the bag, it may be planted and grown into plants. These bags will leave no carbon footprint. Instead, it will leave a flowering plant that will convert carbon dioxide into oxygen throughout its life. (Not a machine but a replacement for plastics. Eradication is a long process. You can't solve the problem when the problem is present so why not replace the actual product. Prevention is better than cure.)

SOLARGen+
Due to the effects brought by the frequent power outage, the livelihood of the residents in Barangay Lodlod is significantly affected. Given this problem, the group generated an innovative product called “SolarGen+”. Unlike most power generators, this product does not use fuels such as gasoline instead, it uses renewable sources for energy production, specifically solar energy. SolarGen+ operates through solar panel electricity systems, also known as photovoltaics (PV), to capture the sun's energy using photovoltaic cells. In addition, these cells don't need direct sunlight to work and can still generate some electricity on a cloudy day. The cells convert the sunlight into electricity, which can be used to run household appliances and lighting. This solar generator could house its 80000 mAh battery in only 8 hours, enabling it to charge 7 phones at its full capacity and could accommodate appliances with its 3 built-in sockets. This product utilizes photovoltaic solar cells, increases efficiency, improves reliability and giving a bit of a twist on the concept of portability.

Bulatech+ Vermicomposter
The proposed product Bulatech+ is an alternative way of composting animal manure into organic fertilizer to improve soil quality. The main foundation of the machine uses vermi (earthworms) to compost various forms of organic waste (e.g. animal manure, food scraps, & garden clippings). The product uses thermophilic and vermicomposting processes to produce vermicompost, a high-quality organic fertilizer that is known for being homogeneous, contains desirable aesthetics and reduced levels of contaminants, and holds more nutrients over a longer period of time without adversely impacting the environment. Moreover, the vermicomposting procedure is faster than traditional composting methods, more convenient, and creates less odor.
