Challenge Overview
The IDEA Expo Challenge invites young people to propose hands-on projects and ideas capable of making a real difference in reducing plastic consumption and waste. The contest centres around three main pillars:
-
Education and Awareness: Propose initiatives to creatively inform and educate people about the dangers of plastic pollution and the critical need for reduction.
-
Community Initiatives: Share your vision for mobilising local communities to reduce plastic use, such as starting a community clean-up or setting up a local recycling program.
-
Innovative Solutions: We welcome simple yet inventive strategies that can significantly reduce plastic use or improve its management, such as DIY recycling tools or projects that can be realistically implemented and scaled within a community.
