Implementation of technological eco-innovations by MB Rugaitis

MB “Rugaitis” is a small partnership established in August 2017. The community started its activities as KTU Startup Space startup. The Community has invaded the Lithuanian market by developing a unique granular burner technology and brand BioFlame. The unique granular burner technology created allowed to optimise the operation of the pellet burner, provided the ability to control the pellet burner at a distance, to collect data and to manage the work of circulating pumps, flue pumps and storage tanks. This new technology has become particularly attractive to consumers who have started to collect green biofuels, i.e. a wood pellet heating system. The main problem that led to the launch of the project is the negative environmental impact of the company. In 2020, the company was audited by external experts on production technologies and estimated the environmental impact of the company on the basis of a life-cycle methodology, and recommendations were made to mitigate these impacts. The project was prepared with funding from Eco Innovation LT. This project is a continuation of the soft project, taking into account the environmental audit recommendations and planning to produce products using eco-design principles. The aim of the proposed project is to carry out technological eco-innovations that will help to reduce the negative environmental impacts of the company, while at the same time the consequences of climate change and greenhouse effects. The main activity of the project — the acquisition of equipment is necessary to achieve the results of the project.
