Imagine a magic trash can that turns your trash into something useful, like turning a banana peel into plant food. This competition is asking smart grown-ups to create real-life magic trash cans and other cool stuff that makes trash useful again.
The Waste Not competition is not prescriptive in what you should design; it's far more open-ended to invite a wide range of innovative solutions. While you could certainly design a 'Factory,' the competition also welcomes other forms of interventions. This could range from designing devices, processes, and systems to conceptualizing networks or facilities. The scale can be micro to macro, and the application could be for individual, family, community, local, or even global needs. The key is to address the challenge in a way that is both imaginative and grounded in real-world considerations, including sociological, cultural, scientific, and environmental factors.
