NO WASTE CHALLENGE
Cut waste. Cut emissions.
Fight climate change.
Our planet is drowning in waste. Every year we dump a massive 2.12 billion tonnes of it worldwide. And this is only increasing, unless we make some major changes – fast.
The 16 winners, all design-driven solutions to take less, make better & handle smarter, will now enter a development programme co-created by Impact Hub, which will propel their projects through 2022.
