Emily Jayne *mins (born 11 February 1987) is an English inventor and entrepreneur. She became interested in sustainability at an early age. At the age of four, she and her grandfather would create toys with materials and items found in his garden shed. This sparked her interest in sustainability and being able to create something out of random things. She later gained a degree in Sustainability and Management at Leeds University.

Innovation

*min's first invention was a sustainable refrigerator powered by evaporation of dirty water, which can be built using ordinary household and sustainable items. Her second invention was a water carrier, aimed for the developing world where women and children may walk miles each day to collect water.

She has also invented a toothpaste dispenser, with an angled lever that can be pushed by any part of the body. When this is pressed, the device will squeeze the toothpaste tube from the top down. This product can be used by people who have limited movement in their arm or have a prosthetic limb.
