Electric cars. Biodegradable straws. Home compost kits. Sustainability takes on many forms and definitions, but we can all agree that it's a relevant topic across industries and lifestyles! Today, we'd like to focus on sustainability as it relates to products we all know and use. Specifically, we'd like you to propose a new product idea that will contribute to greater overall sustainability. You can approach this in one of two ways:
- Reimagine or redevelop an existing product so that it is more sustainable, or
- Propose an entirely new product that meets an existing need that is currently being met by a less sustainable product option
So to recap, you're making a current product more sustainable or replacing it with a totally new product idea. For inspo, check out this list of some of the smartest sustainable products of 2018!
Deliverables
Propose your sustainable product idea by answering the following:
- What is your sustainable product idea? Tell us specifically which existing product it either improves (i.e. makes more sustainable) or replaces.
- What makes your idea sustainable? How does it reduce waste, cut down on resource use, conserve energy, save the environment, etc.
- Why do you believe your idea will be important to consumers? Would you buy it? Sell us on your idea.
Tips for Top Submissions
- The more your product impacts daily life, the better.
- Do not feel restrained to a particular industry, but your idea should be a physical product as opposed to a sustainability practice.
