Reimagine Challenge REIMAGINE CHALLENGE Anthology of 2020 Winning Proposals IT’S TIME TO REIMAGINE OUR WORLD FROM THE GROUND UP Foreword by Eric Schmidt The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed our world, revealing vulnerabilities and magnifying challenges in nearly every community across the globe. But it also presents us with an opportunity to reimagine our future. In the summer of 2020, Schmidt Futures announced the Reimagine Challenge, inviting the world’s college and university students to put forward their most innovative proposals to build back better and more resilient than before. I’m inspired by the bold ideas we received and the rising generation of leaders who developed them. From combating misinformation online to tackling food insecurity with sustainable farming to improving access to remote mental and physical health care, the issues students addressed revealed the myriad challenges faced by communities around the world. Their projects showcase not only critical thinking and ingenuity, but also empathy. Although the long-term impact of this pandemic is daunting, we cannot forget we live in the most educated, interconnected, empowered period in human history. If we come together with all of our tools, knowledge, and talents—as these students have done—I’m confident we can build a world that’s fairer, safer, and more prosperous for everyone. —Eric Schmidt, Co-Founder of Schmidt Futures 44 MUZZAMMIL ISMAIL Data-driven virtual management and care of patients through scale of a successful model from South Africa to assist with the management of elderly diabetic patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

REIMAGINE CHALLENGE The Challenge consisted of two rounds of judging—Round 1 by a panel of Schmidt Futures team members and partners, and Round 2 by an external panel of 35 global experts across science, technology, health, law, policy, educa- About tion, and business. Students in Round 1 were asked to provide a short, plain text proposal no longer than 1,200 words that addressed one of the two topics above. Judges then selected a number of participants from Round 1 to provide a more extensive proposal in Round 2. This proposal could be up to 12 pages of text and be accompanied by a 60-second video pitch, as well as any graphical components that explore or dramatize the idea and explain its origins, details, and implications. Each proposal was judged along the following criteria: The Reimagine Challenge 2020 invited college and university students from around the world to submit project proposals to address one of two topics: Sparking a Global Movement and Community Impact from COVID-19.

  • UK Energy from Waste Statistics - 2020
    UK Energy from Waste Statistics – 2020 May 2021 UK Energy from Waste Statistics - 2020 INTRODUCTION Tolvik’s seventh annual report on the UK Energy from Waste (“EfW”) sector brings together data from a range of sources into a single, readily accessible document. We are very grateful to the continued co-operation from all concerned, in particular the Environment Agency (“EA”), Environmental Services Association and individual EfW operators, with data analysis greatly helped by the new Annual Performance Report (“APRs”) formats. Building upon last year’s report, the section on carbon intensity of EfW has been expanded. As in previous years we welcome any feedback on the report as a whole but we are particularly interested in comments on what is becoming an increasingly significant section. For consistency with previous years, the focus of this report continues to remain upon conventional moving grate EfWs and Advanced Conversion Technology (“ACT”) facilities in the UK generating energy from the combustion of Residual Waste. In 2020, in addition to the use of Residual Waste in the form of Solid Recovered Fuel at cement kilns, increased (but still very modest) tonnages of Residual Waste were co-incinerated at biomass facilities including Slough Fibrepower, Boston (Biomass No 3 Limited) and RWE Markinch. This data has once again been excluded but will be reviewed each year. Residual Waste is defined as non-hazardous, solid, combustible mixed waste which remains after recycling activities. This definition is a little broader than that for Municipal Waste but primarily includes wastes falling within European Waste Catalogue (“EWC”) 19 12 10, 19 12 12 and 20 03 01.

    Annual Performance Report 2014 Newhaven Energy Recovery Facility PPC Permit: BV8067IL 1. Introduction. This report is based on the requirements of Article 12(2) of the Waste Incineration Directive regarding the requirements on access to information and public participation, which requires the operator of an incineration or co- incineration plant to produce an annual report to the regulator on the functioning and monitoring of the plant and to make this available to the public. Name of Company Veolia ES Southdowns Ltd. Name of Plant Newhaven Energy Recovery Facility Permit Number BV8067IL Address North Quay Road, Newhaven BN9 0AB Phone number 01273 511310 Further information Newhaven ERF (Energy Recovery Facility), Line 1 and 2, built on a new site situated at Newhaven (neighbouring Brighton). The site is located besides a river and approximately 2.0 km north of the south coast. Newhaven ERF provides a long term, sustainable solution for waste disposal in the area as part of an integrated approach to waste management. Municipal waste that is not recycled in East Sussex is incinerated at this ERF minimising disposal of waste to land fill. The principal objective of the new facility is the provision of an independent ERF with two separate lines burning acceptable mixed municipal waste at an average rate of 14.0 tons per hour, per line with a calorific value of 9.2 MJ/kg for producing 19MW of electrical power, of which 16.5MW goes for export. 2. Plant Description The main purpose of the Facility is to incinerate Mixed Municipal Waste (MMW) as defined by European Waste Catalogue (EWC) Code 20 03 01, however up to 30% of the total throughput can be composed of a range of non-hazardous trade waste of a similar nature.

  • The Waste Management System in Low Income Areas of Jos, Nigeria: the Challenges and Waste Reduction Opportunities
    THE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN LOW INCOME AREAS OF JOS, NIGERIA: THE CHALLENGES AND WASTE REDUCTION OPPORTUNITIES JANET AGATI YAKUBU A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Brighton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2017 ABSTRACT An estimated 2 billion people do not have access to waste collection services, and 3 billion do not have access to controlled waste disposal. This lack of services and infrastructure has a detrimental impact on public health and the environment with waste being dumped or burnt in communities. With waste levels projected to double in Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs) by 2025 there are significant challenges facing municipalities who already lack the basic resources needed to manage waste. The United Nations acknowledged the problems of poor sanitation and waste management in the Sustainable Development Goals which sets targets to address these challenges, including the target by 2030 to substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, reuse and recycling. Jos, the capital of Plateau state in Nigeria, shares the waste management challenges facing cities in LEDCs. The population of Jos is projected to increase from 1.3 million in 2007 to 2.7 million in 2025, with much of the population living in densely populated areas that lack basic sanitation and controlled disposal of waste. This thesis presents the results of a detailed investigation into the current waste management system in Jos with a focus on low income areas. Through the adoption of mixed methods the thesis identifies how waste is currently being managed and establishes the challenges to sustainable waste management.

  • Residual Waste in London and the South East Where Is It Going to Go…?
    Residual Waste in London and the South East Where is it going to go…? October 2018 FULL REPORT Residual Waste in London and the South East INTRODUCTION In 2017, London and the South East generated just under 10 Million tonnes (“Mt”) of Residual Waste, exporting circa 1.7Mt as Refuse Derived Fuel (“RDF”) to Europe – a greater dependence on the export market than the rest of the UK. At the same time securing planning consent for new Energy from Waste (“EfW”) facilities is particularly challenging (as evidenced by the recent refusals of EfW developments in West Sussex and Cambridgeshire). By the end of 2019 there could be a total of just 3 remaining Non-Hazardous Landfills across the south coast from Hampshire to Kent. When combined with the potential impact of Brexit on RDF exports, there is greater uncertainty with respect to the adequacy of future Residual Waste treatment capacity in this market than any other in the UK. This report therefore considers in detail the future for Residual Waste in London and the South East through to 2025, with a particular emphasis on the availability of local landfill capacity. In this report Residual Waste is defined as non-hazardous, solid, combustible mixed waste which remains after recycling activities and is capable of being processed alongside Residual Household Waste. The Environment Agency term of Household, Industrial and Commercial (“HIC”) is wider and relates to all solid non-hazardous wastes permitted to be landfilled in a Non-Hazardous Landfill. This report has been derived primarily from Environment Agency data, Tolvik’s own market knowledge and through confidential discussions with the major landfill operators in the area - Biffa, FCC, Veolia and Viridor.

  • UK Energy from Waste Statistics – 2019
    UK Energy from Waste Statistics – 2019 May 2020 UK Energy from Waste Statistics - 2019 INTRODUCTION Tolvik’s sixth annual report on the UK Energy from Waste (“EfW”) sector brings together data from a range of sources into a single document. Thanks to excellent co-operation between the Environment Agency, Environmental Services Association and individual EfW operators, there has been significant progress in the standardisation of reporting via the Annual Performance Reports (“APR”) prepared by operators which has greatly facilitated the preparation of this report. As we develop the report each year, so the range of subjects covered is expanded. For the first time, and in line with increased stakeholder interest, this year we have undertaken a preliminary assessment of the carbon intensity of EfWs per tonne of waste processed. Such analysis is, given the lack of an agreed methodology, subjective and we would particularly welcome any feedback on our calculations. Meanwhile the sections on operations, consumable usage and emissions to air have been developed as more data becomes available. For consistency with previous years, the focus of this report continues to remain upon conventional moving grate EfWs and Advanced Conversion Technology (“ACT”) facilities in the UK generating energy from the combustion of Residual Waste. Residual Waste is defined as non-hazardous, solid, combustible mixed waste which remains after recycling activities. This definition is a little broader than that for Municipal Waste but primarily includes wastes falling within European Waste Catalogue (“EWC”) 19 12 10, 19 12 12 and 20 03 01. The report continues to exclude EfW facilities in Jersey and the Isle of Man and facilities solely processing Waste Wood or other biomass wastes.
