This year Wageningen University & Research launches new international student competition in the domain of the circular biobased economy, the ReThink Waste Challenge.
Over a period of six months, students develop and present their revolutionary idea or prototype that offers an innovative and sustainable approach to prevent, reduce, reuse, recycle or recover biomass side-streams. Throughout the Challenge, they get support from coaches from academia and private industry, participate in various workshops and learn more about the topic. ReThink Waste Challenge is open to BSc, MSc and PhD students from all institutions across the globe.
We challenge you to come up with a business idea or a prototype that contributes to a circular biobased economy.
Will you pick up the gauntlet?
It could be anything from a new material made out of biomass, a new technology to extract valuable products from biomass residue, to a more efficient production process or services that bring a zero-waste future one step closer.
From January until June 2023, with the support of top experts, you will develop your idea into a solid business proposition, ready to pitch to the jury and potential investors.
