Open Innovation Challenge
Reimagine Plastic
Do you have an innovative idea for Post-Consumer Multi Layer Packaging !
Are you interested in finding solution to the problem of Plastic Packaging ? Does the plastic trash disturb you ? Would you like to make your contribution to an environmental initiative? Do you want to try your bit to help preserve the oceans and the land to solve the menace created due to mishandling of Plastic?
Reimagine Plastic, an Open Innovation Challenge offers the opportunity for innovators accross the world to make a difference in the way we dispose plastic. We encourage to take a step towards solving the difficult to recyle plastic – Multi Layer Plastic (MLP) using principles of Circular Economy and Design Thinking.
Concept of a circular economy refers to regenerativity of a product. In linear economy, product once used, is disposed. Whereas in circular economy, the product is recycled to its original constituents for reuse. To achieve a circular economy, end product is collected, recycled and brought back into use as a new or the virgin product.
Reimagine Plastic is calling on designers, engineers, scientists, innovators, technplogists and entreprenuers to come together in creating a circular and sustainable future for Multilayer Plastic.

MLP Collection
Challenge
How do we improve models and processes of collection?
Granules Application Challenge
How might we Design & Create products by using MLP granules ?
Material Recovery Challenge
How might we recover higher quality and purer material from MLP using new technologies at Scale ?
The format of the video could be live demonstration, spoken or animated explainer video. The applicants are required to upload the video on a public streaming platform like youtube and send us the link.
MLP Collection Challenge
The challenge involves ideas or solutions to ease the collection if MLP by
- Using Design thinking for Ragpickers/ households
- Better quality material collection which can be easily processed
- Incentivizing rag picker/household for MLP collection
MLP Granuels Application Challenge
Material Recovery Challange
Concept of a circular economy refers to the regenerativity of the product. In a linear economy, the product once used, is disposed. Whereas in circular economy, the product is recycled to its original materials for reuse. For this challenge, the applicants would find out various methods to bring back the different plastics used in MLP. They need to come up with new methods/processes (chemical or mechanical) that would recover and identify plastics based on their properties.
