Wearable for cows that 'neutralises' methane in their breath and a device that captures particles shed by car tyres have been named among the winners of The Prince of Wales' inaugural Terra Carta Design Lab.
The initiative invites some of the world's most talented design students and alumni to design high-impact, low-cost solutions for Nature, People and Planet.
Out of 125 original submissions, four teams of Royal College of Art students and alumni based in London have been chosen as the winners.
These also include aerodynamic nutrient and seed pods made from food waste, that claims to accelerate regeneration up to 10 times, and the first 100 per cent recyclable and chemical-free outdoor performance textile.
Later today, His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and British product designer Sir Jony Ive will visit the Royal College of Art for the opening of an exhibition showcasing the projects and meet the four winners.

London-based agricultural service Zelp has designed a wearable device for cattle (pictured) to neutralise methane emissions in real time
A firm called the Tyre Collective is developing a patent-pending device that captures tyre wear at the wheel before it can be propelled into the surrounding environment
Here's a closer look at the four winners and their creations, which have all been described as 'solutions to the environmental crisis'.
Zelp
Zelp describes itself as an agricultural service that wants to reduce harmful gas emissions while improving animal welfare.
Cows and other farm animals release huge amounts of methane - a powerful greenhouse gas - into the atmosphere through their burps and farts.
So Zelp staff have built a device that fits 'comfortably' around a cow's head without restricting their movement or feeding.
As the cattle exhales, methane travels through a catalyst where it's oxidized, then released into the air as CO2 and water vapour.
'The technology precisely tracks methane reduction and key data for farmers, like welfare, efficiency, and fertility metrics,' the firm says on its website.

The Tyre Collective
Tyre wear - fragments of vehicle tyres that are worn off in transit - is the second largest microplastic pollutant in our environment, after single-use plastics.
These rubber particles, some too small to be seen by the naked eye, can travel through the air and even be breathed in by roadside pedestrians.
So a firm called the Tyre Collective is developing a patent-pending device that captures tyre wear at the wheel before it can be propelled into the surrounding environment.
The attachable filter uses static electricity to attract tyre fragments, like the static from when you rub a balloon against a sweater.
As well as spearheading the capture and monitoring of tyre wear, the team are exploring upcycling it into new products, such as more ultra-robust tyres.

The No. 9 London bus, on average, releases 4.65g per journey and a total of 65g a day. (Car and EV quantities based on a 16km UK average commute per day)
Amphitex
The third start-up, called Amphibio, is developing Amphitex, a sustainable and recyclable alternative to traditional waterproof breathable textiles used in the outdoor apparel industry.
Current performance outdoor textiles are impossible to recycle and use many harmful chemicals, meaning they face either landfill or incineration when they're disposed of.
Conversely, Amphitex will be made from a combination of recycled and plant-based feedstock, resulting in a carbon negative textile.
Amphibio said it is also creating an artificial gill to dramatically reduce the weight of heavy tanks used in diving equipment.

Aerseeds
Lastly, Aerseeds are described as aerodynamic seed pods made from food waste - although they look like simple paper airplanes.
Mimicking natural processes, Aerseeds are carried by the wind to cover large areas and reach difficult terrains where they deliver nutrients and seeds to soils depleted by human activity.
In this way, they are essentially human-made seed dispersers that 'work with nature to accelerate regeneration up to 10 times'.

All winners will receive £50,000 funding and mentoring from Sir Jony Ive and the corporate members of the Sustainable Markets Initiative.
Sir Ive, who notably worked at Apple from 1992 to 2019, said: 'All the Design Lab winners have ideas and designs that deserve to be developed.
'The ingenuity and determination of these designers has produced some extraordinarily creative responses, and they now embark on the journey to turn these great ideas into practical solutions.
'We can all have good ideas.
I find it reassuring, particularly facing the overwhelming challenge of climate change, that we can all contribute ideas that could evolve into valuable solutions. I love not only the power of a good idea but how egalitarian and inclusive they can be.'

Feyenoord boss Arne Slot says he will ‘open the message' if he is contacted by Leeds - but the Dutch club insist they would rebuff any approach.
Leeds director of football Victor Orta was spotted at Manchester Airport on Thursday morning amid claims he was flying to the Netherlands to speak to Slot.
The 44-year-old is understood to be the new frontrunner for the vacant Whites hotseat after Rayo Vallecano's Andoni Iraola and West Brom's Carlos Corberan both turned them down.
Asked about Leeds' interest on Wednesday night, Slot said: ‘I have not heard anything.
I have read it (the rumours), but I haven't seen anything on my phone yet.
‘What will I do when a message comes in from Leeds? Open the message.'
Feyenoord boss Arne Slot has emerged as the frontrunner to take over as manager at Leeds
Leeds' director Victor Orta was spotted in an airport ahead of a rumoured meeting with Slot
However, Feyenoord's supremo Te Kloese told Dutch journalists Slot is ‘not for sale' and added: ‘I have not heard anything from Leeds, neither officially nor unofficially.
‘I also know Leeds as a correct club, so I don't believe they are playing this behind our backs.
Last summer the transfer of Luis Sinisterra also went in a very neat, correct way.'
Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani had hoped to appoint a new boss in time for Sunday's match with Manchester. But asked by fans for an update, he wrote on Twitter in a now-deleted post: ‘We keep praying and making interviews.'
Under-21s boss Michael Skubala is set to take charge of Leeds again for Sunday's visit of Manchester United after owner Andrea Radrizzani confirmed their quest to find a new manager has been delayed.
Asked by a fan on Twitter if they would be announcing Jesse Marsch's replacement by the weekend, the Italian replied: ‘After the weekend'.
WHO IS ARNE SLOT?
The last manager to win the Eredivisie title will be in the dugout at Leeds on Sunday - and he could yet be joined by the boss currently leading the way in Holland.
Erik ten Hag takes his Manchester United side to Leeds this weekend for their second clash in the space of five days.
And there is a chance the former Ajax chief will be facing a familiar foe in Arne Slot, whose Feyenoord side are top of the Dutch league.
While Slot lost out on the title to Ten Hag last season, he actually pipped him to the Eredivisie Manager of the Year award.
And according to a player who has worked under both bosses, the 44-year-old is even better than the man who has turned things around at Old Trafford this term.
‘I choose Arne Slot,' said midfielder Mark Diemers when asked to pick between the two Dutch coaches.
‘I found Ten Hag insanely good tactically, so were his training sessions.
‘I just didn't think he was very good at that time, on a human level. I thought Slot was a lot stronger on a human level.'
The 44-year-old has an impressive 60 per cent win rate as the Feyenoord manager
Slot began his senior managerial career at AZ Alkmaar in July 2019 and almost led them to the Eredivisie title in his first season in charge, missing out on goal difference to Ten Hag's Ajax after the campaign was cut shot by the Covid pandemic.
He left AZ prematurely in December 2020 after agreeing a deal to move to Feyenoord for the start of the 2021-22 campaign.
But he further enhanced his credentials with his new club last season, taking them to the final of the Europa Conference League, where they lost to Jose Mourinho's Roma, and finishing third in the league.
This season, with Ten Hag out of the picture at Ajax, Slot has Feyenoord sitting pretty at the top of the Eredivisie in their search for a first title in six years.
Slot's playing style is similar to that of former managers Marcelo Bielsa and Jesse Marsch
But it is not just his win record that has brought him to the attention of Leeds chiefs.
Slot's playing style also chimes with what the Elland Road board are after based on their previous two appointments of the gung-ho Marcelo Bielsa and Jesse Marsch.
Speaking about his Feyenoord team last season, Slot said: ‘We are an attack-minded team that likes to have a lot of the ball and play with a lot of intensity.
‘When we don't have the ball, we want to win it back as quickly as possible by being aggressive and pressing to win back possession.'
Leeds have strong links with Feyenoord having signed Crysencio Summerville and Luis Sinisterra from them in the last three years.
It could be that the Premier League club poach their manager next.

From prolonged working hours to regular use of mobiles, the modern lifestyle takes its toll on our body.
These habits are the reason behind why more people are experiencing neck and back pain. The way we carry ourselves at workplace seriously impacts our body, especially the neck and back. That is why anyone troubled with neck and back pain needs to keep a check on their conduct at work.
To help, we list five tips that can help bring neck and back pain relief at the workplace.
1. Set Up Your Workstation
The place where you work, your workstations plays a big role in the way your body holds up.
If you log long hours in the office, it is imperative that you have an ergonomic workstation. Make sure your computer screen is at your eye level, the system is within your reach, and also you don't have to move your hand far to control the mouse.
You may also ask your employer to provide you with standing or adjusting desk, which will enable you to stand for part of the day to work.
2. Place a Cushion to Support Your Back
While setting up the workstation plays a crucial role in keeping your body in the right position, a comfortable chair ensures your body, especially back, is well-rested and there's no pressure on it.
If possible get a chair with lumbar support, else place a cushion to support your lower back. Also, tilting the back of the chair ever so slightly to get into a reclined position can do a world of good to your neck and back pain.
3. Sit in Upright Position
A crucial requirement for ergonomic office setup is your sitting position. We often make the mistake of sit in weird positions, which seem comfortable but can cause pain in the neck and back.
For everyone who spends long hours in front of the computer, doctors recommend they sit in upright position, with their feets flat on the floor. Also, adjust your chair in a way that your thighs are angled down. In this position, your weight is on the sitting bones or ischial tuberosities and not on your back.
4. Take Short Breaks
Sticking to your chair for long hours can not only result in fatigue but also distorts your posture. If you are already troubled with neck and back pain, remaining glued to your set is probably the worst thing to do.
Rather leave your seat at least once an hour to go to the bathroom or walk around in the office or go up to a colleague to have a word. You may also use the break to perform some shoulder rolls to reduce pressure on the spinal disks. These simple breaks will help you be more limber and less stressed.
5. Avoid Working on Mobile/Tablet for Long Hours
Mobiles and tablets have become our lifeline. We rely on it to connect with our loved ones and entertainment, also using them for emails and to perform other work commitment can take a toll on our health.
Looking down on phone for prolonged hours causes discomfort in the neck. That is why it is recommended that people with neck and upper back pain should keep mobile and tablet use to a minimum. Use your system to answer emails and perform other activities, as working on a computer helps maintain good posture.
Also, avoid pinning the between shoulder and ear as it can lead to a sprain in the neck and start using headset or speakerphone to answer calls.
Parting Tips
Neck and back pain relief at the workplace in your hands. If you feel a lot of discomfort and pain in your neck or back, visit an orthopedics as a precautionary measure.
They may recommend warm water massages and painkillers to subdue the pain, but most importantly keep a check on your behavior at the workplace. Avoid doing any task that puts pressure on your neck and back. If required, do not hesitate from wearing the back support belt to minimize pain and damage to your back.

Lower back pain is a common medical condition that affects almost everybody at some point or another.
It can be acute or chronic. The acute form of lower back pain is usually caused by heavy lifting or over-exercising. Using an inadequate mattress for sleeping or constantly having a wrong posture can easily lead to lower back pain. Sometimes degenerative diseases like arthritis are causing disc degeneration and thus pain in the lower section of the back.
A sprained muscle, a herniated disc or an injury can easily provoke chronic low back pain.
Treatment can vary from over the counter analgesics to surgery in the worst cases. It is essential to see a physician in order to determine the root cause of the pain and to make sure you are taking the appropriate treatment.
There are specific exercises that can be done for relieving lower back pain. Depending on what is causing the problem in the first place, there are many treatment methods available.
Herbal remedies have proven their efficacy in what concerns alleviation of lower back pain. Here is a non-exhaustive list of useful herbs -
1. Bromelain - It is a substances extracted from pineapple with a great anti-inflammatory action. Start taking 2-3 grams daily and when the pain becomes milder, reduce the dose to 1-2 grams daily.
2.
Chamomile - It is known for its pain killing properties. You can either take a few capsules a day, or 10-20 drops of extract, mixed in a cup of water or tea.
3. Red pepper - It contains capsaicin, a strong pain killing agent. It interferes with the perception of pain we are having and it stimulates the body to produce endorphins.
You can either mix smashed red pepper in any skin cream you have or make your own tincture from red pepper and rubbing alcohol. There are also capsaicin creams available on the market.
4. Cramp bark and black haw - The combination between these plants is highly effective in reducing pain. The first one has antispasmodic compounds and the other one contains aspirin-like substances.
The tincture is the most effective form in which they can be consumed.
5. Burdock - It alleviates the pain and it also purifies the blood. The recommended dose is between 1 and 3 capsules a day.
6. Horsetail - It has a calming effect and it is very helpful in rebuilding damaged tissue.
7.
Willow bark - It is used from ancient times in relieving pain and it helped researchers to discover aspirin.

Is back strain interfering with your daily activities?
Does the pain affect your mood and accomplishments?
Mom always said to never play ball in the house. This statement is usually said after there was an "accident". After the "accident" happened, you are now looking at a hole in the wall. What would you start with to repair the hole?
You will need tools. You will need the right tools. If you have the right tools, you will be more effective in covering up the hole. Just like you need the right tools for a hole in the wall, you need the right tools or options for a treatment for back strain.
What is a strain?
Over stressing or over stretching can cause a tear in the muscle tissue. The cause of this is pain associated with inflammation and bruising or discoloration on the skin. Your body can heal and repair itself from a strain. The bigger the tear, the longer the recovery.
Of course, we would all choose a quicker recovery. In order to rid yourself of the pain, the muscle tissue needs to be free from inflammation. Once the inflammation is gone, the tissue can start to heal itself and the pain will be significantly less.
What are the options for a treatment for back strain?
Activity Level Cut down on your activity and be nice to your back.
You should avoid heavy lifting, reaching up high, or stretching your back. You could re-injury your strain if you are not careful. When a strain is re-injured, it will take longer to heal and bring the inflammation down.
Rest Resting when possible, helps your body to use it's energy to heal.
The body doesn't like tears or holes. It will always try to close them up. Let it do it's job. When my daughter had her trach removed in her neck, the doctor did not close up the hole, or stoma. The usual procedure is to let it heal and close itself. The doctors like to let the body do it's thing.
And sure enough, in six weeks the stoma was closed up.
Ice Applying ice to the injured area can help bring down inflammation and ease up the pain.
Essential oils The use of essential oils on your back strain can help with healing. Their purpose is to heal naturally.
What about taking a pain reliever?
If the pain is too much to sleep or rest, then pain reliever can be helpful. Check with your doctor about using medication. Too much medication is not a good thing. If you dull the pain to the point that you don't feel it, then you may take a chance on re-injuring your back strain.
When starting a treatment for back strain, remember that your body needs to eliminate the inflammation and not re-injure the strain. Resting and being careful, may take time away from your to do list, but once the strain is healed, you will be able to get back to your normal activity.
In the later phase of pregnancy, about 4 months before the delivery, back pains are expected to occur.
However, this problem is just manageable. Posture modification techniques together with exercise seem to be efficient pregnancy back pain relief tactics. This article will point out the methods that would keep the discomfort away.
What Causes the Problem?
1.
Increased weight. With the list of items that causes back pain, weight gain is a leading factor. The additional mass is gained because of the developing baby inside the uterus. The growth of human inside the womb pushes the body forward which triples the pressure on the lower back.
As the pressure increase, so does pain.
2. Hormonal contributions. Hormones are increased to maintain gestation before delivery takes place. Although these natural body chemicals tend to do good generally, in pregnancy it also causes the muscles, ligaments and joints to relax. The changes in the normal attribute of these structures can bring about pain when moving.
Recommendations to Achieve Pregnancy Back Pain Relief
Always practice good sitting, standing and bending posture.
During the gestational period it is a normal bodily response to sway the back due to the pressure of the growing baby which causes the body to move forward. When this happens, the most affected and pressured body part is the lower back. As a result, pains are experienced by the woman.
Unfortunately, a huge number of pregnant women do have a poor standing posture.
These individuals tend to slouch their backs and held their chest down. Slouching further aggravates the discomfort. Hence, it is important to keep the back tall and straight. The chest should also be held high and the shoulders are rolled back. When a job requires lengthy hours of standing, it is recommended to use a low-step stool and have one foot rest on it alternately.
Asking for frequent breaks when working during gestation is also good. Standing too long is not good for pregnant women.
When sitting, pillows should be placed on the lower back to serve as support. Having a comfort on this area offers comfort to the stressed back muscles.
A poor sitting posture can shortened muscles surrounding the lower spine, thereby causing pain when moving. Keeping the neck and upper back aligned when sitting is a good practice. However, do not overdo it as one may feel a bit uncomfortable when trying to rest. Both feet may be rested in a low step stool to further relax tensed muscles and promote good venous return.
Wear low-heeled or flat shoes. In addition to increase risk to falls when wearing high-heeled footwear, an added pressure on the lower back is produced when these are worn during pregnancy.
Most women who are used to wearing high-heels usually complain about this recommendation. However, health, being the priority, should not be compromised just over some fashion reasons.
