Month: January 2026

Our committee members Kristina Teppo and Michel Guenther had the exciting opportunity to meet with Dr. Jeff Mangers and Dr. Atal Kumar, the founders of CRAB Traceability Systems – a university spin-off developing innovative solutions for waste management.

CRAB has developed a portable, AI-driven optical waste analysis system with two main versions:
– App-based solution: analyses small datasets (just a few pictures)
– Mobile analyser: a complete system for monitoring waste streams on a conveyor belt (all components fit into a transportable box)

The algorithm can be fine-tuned to detect and classify a wide range of materials, from construction waste to different types of plastics. Once set up, the system can run for up to 5 hours on battery power and completely independent without internet connection, collecting real-time data for quality control, auditing, and process optimisation.

Last month, Kristina Teppo, President of Engineers Without Borders Luxembourg, took part in the three-day Engineers Without Borders International Strategy Workshop in Hyderabad, India.

The workshop brought together the EWB International Board of Directors and the Delivery Team to align on priorities for the coming years, including strategic direction, collaboration frameworks, and ways to strengthen our collective impact across the global EWB network.

During the visit, participants also had the opportunity to see a community project supported by EWB-India, focused on providing a safe and supportive environment for women and girls in vulnerable situations. The initiative combines essential infrastructure solutions – such as renewable energy systems – with education and long-term community support, demonstrating how engineering can create a meaningful and lasting social impact.

🙏 Our sincere thanks to EWB-India and Rajeev Lal for hosting the workshop, and to the EWB International Delivery Team for the excellent organisation.
