An engineering student from Mapua University proves that crop wastes can still be useful. Congrats, Carvey Ehren Maigue, for winning the first-ever sustainability prize given by the JamesDysonAward!

for his invention made of discarded fruits and vegetables that absorbs stray ultraviolet rays from the sun and turns them into renewable energy.

Called AuREUS, Maigue’s technology does not need to face the sun to convert solar energy into electrical energy, unlike the conventional solar panels, as it is reliant on ultraviolet light,“AuREUS is actually a material, or a technology, that allows other devices to harvest ultraviolet light and convert it into electricity. AuREUS is based on a plastic material, so it can be formed into different shapes,” Maigue was quoted by Dyson as saying.

The technology could help farmers mitigate losses after getting hit by calamities by upcycling damaged crops, Maigue said. Maigue said he intends to make his product available in the market soon, by dedicating more time for research and development.
