The Circular Economy aims to redefine the conventional make, sell and discard model and by innovation and careful design to reuse materials for a second life. Such a model goes well beyond conventional recycling but requires novel thinking and careful design to minimise material waste. This competition aims to engage the design community and to encourage the development of new product ideas from PVC products that have reached the end of their original design life. The competition is open to all UK design students and the deadline is 15 February 2019 with a first place prize of £3,000, second place prize of £1,500 and a third place prize of £500.
