Our innovative solution empowers artisanal miners, particularly women, by minimizing direct contact with hazardous mercury during gold processing.
About
EcoHer Green Gold Innovate is at the forefront of technological innovation for artisanal mining communities. Our mission is to reduce the environmental and health impacts associated with use of mercury the labor-intensive artisanal and gold mining sector. We Recognize that the significance of artisanal and small scale mining is built around large labour workforce, our proposed innovation seeks to be intermediaries, introducing compressed technologies tailored to the vast workforce. Our groundbreaking solution includes eco gloves and a retort. The proposed eco gloves, designed primarily for women, safeguard against direct contact with mercury during gold processing,which is work many done by women in the gold supply chain, addressing critical health concerns due to direct contact with mercury and toxins during the process. The improved retort system, boasting 98% effectiveness, ensures mercury recovery from amalgamated gold, leaving the gold mercury-free and the environment untouched. Unique in its collaborative design, the retort accommodates multiple operators, making it ideal for the artisanal mining setting. At EcoHer Green Gold Innovate, our focus is on health, the environment, and seamlessly integrating technology to complement the intricate dynamics of artisanal mining.
Key Benefits
Artisanal gold Miners: Eco her green innovate Increases safety and reduces the health risks for miners, especially women, the proposed eco gloves that prevent direct contact with harmful mercury.The retort also captures mercury preventing direct inhalation from the use of charcoal that produces harmful gases as well as 2.Gold Mining Communities:Eco her green innovate aims for Environmental protection through the use of a retort, which captures and recovers 98% of mercury, ensuring cleaner surroundings and preventing mercury from entering ecosystems. This Mitigate the negative impact of artisanal mining on local environments and water sources such as lake victoria.3.Entrepreneurs and mining Cooperatives in Artisanal gold Mining:Eco her green innovate Increases efficiency and productivity through the collaborative design of the retort, allowing multiple operators to work simultaneously.They are also locally produced creating a budding environment for local production and employment opportunities.4.Health and Safety Organizations:Eco her green innovate aims to Contribute to improved occupational health and safety standards in artisanal mining sector.Health and Safety Organizations Supporting initiatives that prioritize the well-being of individuals engaged in the mining sector are our target partners.5.Environmental Conservation GroupEco her green innovate solutions aim to align with sustainable and responsible mining practices, reducing the environmental impact of artisanal gold extraction.this opens a space for Collaboration from Environmental Conservation Group with a technology that supports conservation efforts and promotes eco-friendly mining practices.6.Governments and Regulatory Bodies: Eco her green innovate aims to Facilitate a safer and more environmentally friendly mining practices aligning with regulatory standards.Contribution to improved compliance with environmental and health regulations, fostering sustainable development in mining regions.which is most governments aspiration for the mining sector7.Development Partners and NGOs:Eco her green innovate solutions addresses health, environmental, and social challenges in artisanal mining communities. This creates an opportunity for Collaboration with a solution that aligns with sustainable development goals, promoting community well-being and environmental stewardship..
