Andrea Campagnolo: NaturalBoom: the first Mental Drink
NaturalBoom health drinks, with natural recipes and adaptogenic ingredients, want to create a new beverage
category in the world. With the support of nutritionists and Mental Coaches, Andrea wants to bring new awareness in the world of nutrition and “sustainable awareness” through a new message that NaturalBoom is the spokesperson for. “Sustainable awareness” is a broad concept, which includes living and eating with respect for ourselfes and the planet.
Shannon McMahon (bigdata and data analysis engineer): Can ordering in be sustainable?
Ordering in has never been simpler, but food delivery services aren't just about convenient meals: they produce an extensive quantity of disposable material, from cutlery, to containers, to napkins and more. In 2018 a whopping 323 kilotonnes of waste is estimated to have been generated in China alone, and this number has since been growing.
In this presentation we dive into how data strategy and having a data driven approach can lead to the development of new technologies that reduce environmental impact. Such is the case of Vytal, a German company offering smart & reusable To-Go Packaging-as-a-Service to gastronomy clients & consumers.
Riccardo Gracis (cybersecurity, GDPR Engineer): The greening of privacy: key steps to data
sustainability.
In the big-data age, information are available everywhere in the internet. By the way, computational resources
to elaborate, store ad collect those data consume lot of electrical power.
Society is used to collect everything ignoring impact that data redundancy has on environment.
Think that a normal data center uses 20/50 MW per year (same energy can be involved to power 37000 buildings in the same period).
Despite that, nowadays lot of companies are moving in order to comply with GDPR. One of its most relevant milestone is “collect and store only what you need”. This law not only can enforce a minimization in computational resources but also it is respecting end user privacy.
