Circular Making Innovation Challenge
Our circular making challenge is based on circular economy, which is when something becomes food or the base material for something else In a perfect circular economy world, there would be no landfills Everything would be reused, but for that we have to change the way we think and use materials, we have to start from existing materials instead of sourcing new ones or we have to be able to recycle existing materials while they keep their quality. Our challenge encourages students to : minimize waste, reduce energy , reduce carbon footprint, find solutions in which our waste build capitol , rethink redesign
