THE WDCD NO WASTE CHALLENGE

CALLING ALL CREATIVES AND INNOVATORS!

Together with IKEA Foundation, we called upon all creatives, hackers, and dreamers to submit bold solutions to reduce waste and rethink our entire production and consumption cycle. From bioplastic made from banana peels, to the world’s first flower upcycling hub, an incredible wealth of ingenious ideas have poured into the competition.

Over the next few weeks, some 90 creative and industry leaders from various sectors will join the No Waste Challenge selection committee, including experts in circular design, climate action and social impact, to review every entry and come up with a shortlist of outstanding projects. On 27 May, we’ll announce the nominees, and our international jury will begin another intensive selection process to decide on 16 winners worldwide.
