Projecte de National Geographic per tal d'identificar la problemàtica de plàstics als oceans i trobar-ne solucions.
Objectives:
The Ocean Plastic Innovation Challenge, a key component of National Geographic and Sky Ocean Ventures’ partnership to reduce plastic waste, asks problem solvers from around the globe to develop novel solutions to tackle the world’s plastic waste crisis. The challenge is a one-year competition composed of three complementary tracks that will run simultaneously:
Design Track: The Design Track challenges teams to identify pragmatic, investable solutions to improve food and beverage packaging and containers.
Circular Economy Track: The Circular Economy Track challenges teams to develop scalable business models and technology solutions, applicable across industries, to reduce plastic packaging waste and encourage the reuse and repurposing of plastic alternatives instead of discarding them after one use.
Data Visualization Track: The Data Visualization Track challenges teams to represent a relevant, credible data set related to the global challenge of plastic waste as a data visualization.
Tender:
Design Track-Circular Economy Track, A panel of expert judges will identify up to 10 finalists who will each win $5,000. Finalists will then compete for the grand prize of $100,000 and up to two second-place prizes of $45,000 each.
