Editor's Choice Winner
TEROS is an innovative pneumatic handheld seed planter designed for large-scale polyculture reforestation. Its special feature is the revolver seed bank, which allows users to switch species seamlessly to boost biodiversity. TEROS radically improves sustainability by replacing heavy sapling transport with lightweight seeds (a 1:1,360 weight reduction), dramatically cutting emissions and logistics costs, while its durable, repairable design ensures long product life.
"TEROS" succeeds with its practical innovation in reforestation: the well-thought-out, ergonomic system enables efficient, biodiverse planting on a large scale while simultaneously reducing resource consumption. A powerful example of impact-driven, sustainable design.
