Our Work
Science - Technology - Nature
Science
We have taken part in ground-breaking research and will continue to grow our knowledge and share it with the world.
Nature
Sustainable management only works when we apply the Cradle-to-Cradle principle. It’s how our concepts and technologies are designed. We see waste as 100% valuable raw materials.
Education
Knowledge is a finite resource. One of the most important challenges is to work for a future where everybody has equal access to education and information – no matter their skin colour, their gender, their origin or their religion.
Technology
We have developed a multitude of different disruptive technologies and want to give them to the world for a better future.
Circularity
Everything is connected. It is important to preserve and protect ecosystems, but also to support and improve natural processes. Only with circular economies can we minimise the impact on the environment and still meet our needs as humankind.
Projects
We create projects for a better planet.
We use our knowledge and our network to develop projects, support them along their milestones and ensure funding.
Science & Technology

Our scientists have developed a portfolio of more than 20 proven technologies.
These technologies have been extensively tested on an industrial scale and are ready for the world to use. This is why our members have donated them all to the foundation.
Some of the proven technologies have the potential to be used in different scenarios, turning them into key technologies for future Circular Economies.
We plan to further develop these technologies and add new ones to constantly surpass all challenges on our way through innovation.
Nature & the Planet
The earth’s condition is bad.
Let us summarize where we – as Humanity – stand: We have pumped sufficient gases into the atmosphere to create acid rain, destroy the ozone layer, poison everyone and every living thing with lead and increase the global temperature by 1.2 °C within a century. We have used up the majority of global water reserves, constantly increase their rate of deterioration by exploiting them further, and poisoned the bit that is still left to use. We have produced so much waste that now there is more synthetic material than living organisms. Our air is loaded with fumes, aerosols, microplastics and – again – greenhouse gases, the groundwater is poisoned by leaching, and even volcanos are starting to form plastic-containing minerals never known to the planet before the Anthropocene! We have depleted our soils of life and now pour toxic amounts of salts on them to prevent global agriculture to decline in a way that would cause devastating hunger throughout the world.
Although historical evidence can prove that the intent was never to follow a master plan to destroy humanity and the earth with it, it seems that if we had intended it, we could have taken the exact same path to succeed.
Air
Pure air without pollution increases the health of all living organisms.
Water
Clean water without toxic chemicals is fundamental for life.
Soil
Ensuring soil health means ensuring all life on land.
Today, there is no question that our way of exploiting our soils, our water, our natural resources and the entire environment is damaging nature and, ultimately, ourselves.
Although we have not yet reached the point where we fully understand how an ecosystem works in every detail. But we have learned over millennia how we can improve their health. Unsettlingly, we have gone through a process of forgetting that in the past century.
We slowly begin to relearn the basic facts that carbon is stored in healthy soils, that water stays clean if we do not pollute it with poison, that healthy soil is a necessary condition for plant growth, that biodiversity facilitates plant management and that the capability to produce food is necessary to feed our society.
It is time to finally recognize that the air we breathe must be pure, the water we drink must be clean and the soil we live on must be alive.
Alternative Approaches
Many people have dedicated their lives to finding new ways or uncovering old knowledge of producing crops and food.
Based on their amazing work, it has become much clearer how ecosystems work and how agriculture can become more efficient without the use of toxic chemicals and mined minerals.
Integral Use of Biomass
Biomass is all matter originating from life. Nature equipped all living organisms with their own specific combination of biomass.
Thanks to advances in science and technology, we are now able to stop categorizing biomass into usable and waste. Instead, there are ways to efficiently use virtually all biomass.
Circularity
Almost 4 billion years ago, life formed on earth. Nature was born.
Soon, life conquered the entire planet and the Circular Economy was invented. We do not see ourselves as promoters of a new idea because it is as old as life itself.
Without the principle of Circularity, life would not have survived over billions of years. The boundaries and finite resources of our planet force us to accept that we cannot use more than there is.
We have found ways to use our knowledge and technologies to create locally self-sufficient circular economies which work in harmony with nature. Together with our partners, we are ready to implement the first concepts soon.
Education
Knowledge is not yet restricted by the number of brains in the world. There is still a lot of work to be done to unlock the full potential of human ingenuity.
Knowledge
Knowledge is a finite resource.
The most important way to do this is to work for a future where everybody has equal access to education and information – no matter their skin colour, their gender, their origin or their religion.
Knowledge Protection
Many people have dedicated their lives to science and technology. All of them have accumulated amazing knowledge over their lifetimes.
We know that there are a lot of them who have grown old and who wish to leave some of their knowledge behind for those who desire to learn. We know because we have met them. Some of them still accompany us on our journey.
We provide a space where experienced scientists and inventors can share their knowledge and help apply that knowledge to the benefit of everyone. If you feel you have scientific knowledge which you wish to share so future generations can benefit from it, feel invited to contact us.
Education
Education is one of the most valuable tools for a better future. More education means more unlocked potential from otherwise overlooked great minds.
We have enormous challenges ahead of us and we need all the brainpower we can get to overcome them. One of the most important tasks of this generation is to work for a future where everybody has equal access to education and information – no matter their skin color, their gender, their origin or their religion.
Our plans include the foundation of a research center to resume our research in the fields we used to work on, inlude new fields of research and relocate our knowledge management division there to apply the „old knowledge“.
