Nadine Sydow’s unique invention, ‘Schnexagon’, or ‘slugs-are-gone’ in English, is a product to stop slugs and snails from climbing into slot gardens while protecting biodiversity. In Nadine’s words “it’s transparent – you can’t see it and can’t smell it – the slugs don’t die; they simply can´t stick to it”. Nadine, who is based in Kiel in Northern Germany, has a passion for developing new materials that can provide more sustainable solutions to existing products.
This storymap is a part of the BeUBio storymap series young people whose business ideas, jobs and other activities lead the way towards a different and more sustainable economic path. With a variety of different examples, young people from across the Baltic Sea Region, inspire new ways of making business while having a positive impact to the environment and society. The overall aim is to build a community of like-minded people, by sharing our stories and inspiring each other.
This initiative comes from the BeUBio project, a collaboration between different partners across the Baltic Sea Region pushing for youth participation in the transition to a bio-based economy, and create synergies with other actors and initiatives addressing the SDGs.
