WDCD LIVE – No Waste Challenge

By 02-06-2022

Ahead of What Design Can Do Festival, on June 3 in Amsterdam, we introduce some of the designers. Today we present No Waste Challenge Dutch winners.

In January 2021, What Design Can Do launched the ‘No Waste Challenge’ in collaboration with the IKEA Foundation. This global design competition tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time: waste. The 16 winners, all design-driven solutions to take less, make better & handle smarter, will now enter a development programme co-created by Impact Hub, which will propel their projects through 2022. Among the winners are four Dutch designers.
