Central Idea

Innovations and waste management practices can promote circular economy for a sustainable world

We identified the following problems that we hope to solve.

Personal
I love doing art projects, but I always have old markers, dried-up glue sticks, and bits of paper that I do not know what to do with. I also use a lot of plastic, like water bottles and snack wrappers, but at home, we do not have a recycling bin, so I just throw them away. I have heard about recycling, but I do not really know how to do it or where to take the plastic bottles I pack. I want to be more sustainable, but I do not know any easy ways to recycle or manage my waste properly.
Local:
In my community, there is a noticeable lack of representation and opportunities for people of diverse cultural backgrounds, leading to feelings of exclusion
Global:
The world struggles with waste and resource depletion due to a linear economy where products are used and discarded. Plastic pollution and e-waste are rising, while many places lack proper recycling systems. Overproduction, overconsumption, and lack of awareness make waste management worse.
