The
No Waste Challenge is a global competition initiated by
What Design Can Do (WDCD) in partnership with The IKEA Foundation. WDCD are calling on creatives – Both Small Hackers and Big Dreamers – To Submit Innovative Solutions to reduce waste and to rethink our entire production and consumption cycle.
WHY WASTE?
The answer is straightforward and devastating: our planet is drowning in waste. Every year we dump a massive 2.12 billion tonnes of it worldwide. This is partly because weâve created an economy in which 99% of the stuff we buy is trashed within six months. If all this waste was put on trucks, they would stretch around the Earth 24 times.
