Results

The winners’ project: Persilair

The Team Rotterdam Particles (Marin Schuerman, Sepopo Attiogbe and Wibe van de Vijver) won with a revolutionary concept of Laundry & Home Care: Persilair. A small bottle of ecological friendly gas is connected to the washing machine. This gas removes all the dirt, which makes it possible to wash clothes without using any water. 
 

2nd place: Henkel Evolution Program

The Team Gaudis Lab (Carlos E. Crespo, Ilias Pantelakis and David van Damme) finished second with their idea of the Henkel Evolution Program. In a five year program, water containing a special detergent is sprayed through all streets of cities capturing accumulated dirt. Filters prohibit air transmittable diseases from spreading and provides the city with fresh air.

3rd place: DermOne

The Team Creative Cube (Yilmaz Can Akbulut, Can Kalafat and Ali Caner Türkmen) finished third with their innovative concept of Color Cosmetics: DermOne. This innovative cream contains nano-particles which can be applied to the face. A picture of the face is taken and different make-up styles can be selected on a special mobile application. The nano-particles will rearrange quickly so that make-up can be changed within seconds. 
 

3rd place: Dixsand

The Team Henkare (Giulia Cacciatore, Carlo Alberto Dall'Amico and Barbara Colombo) finished third with their
creative concept of Detergents: Dixsand. A foam detergent dries all organic matter (e.g. dirt) which is exposed
 to it and turns it into a dusty, eco-friendly substance. Thus, no water is needed and no harm will be done to
the environment by using this Henkel detergent. 
 

3rd place: Catch Patch

The Team Triple Single (Jolien van Bogaert, Lara Spaan and Irmin Leen) finished third with their inventive idea
of the Catch Patch. By pasting a small, sticky patch in your arm pit all sweat will be absorbed. A nice smell
will be spread while interacting with body heat. This inventive product is invisible and can be removed by water.
