With plastic items continually growing in usage and many polluting the environment when disposed of, innovators, scientists and entrepreneurs around the world are being called upon to help rethink the way we use plastics so they don’t become waste in the first place.
To support this cause, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in partnership with leading global innovation firm NineSigma, has announced the launch of the Circular Materials Challenge to make all plastic packaging recyclable. Solution providers are competing for up to $1 million in grants to be shared equally by up to five winners.
The Circular Materials Challenge is part of the Foundation’s $2 million New Plastics Economy Innovation Prize, launched in collaboration with The Prince of Wales’s International Sustainability Unit, to help build a circular economy for plastics by developing new materials, redesigning packaging and eliminating waste.
Responses to the Challenge are due by October 20, 2017 at 5PM US EDT.
