How can the future be sustainably changed through design? What visions can innovative re- and upcycling ideas open up? The “RecyclingDesignprize”, which has been organised by the Arbeitskreis Recycling e.V., Herford, in cooperation with Marta Herford since the museum was founded in 2005 and approximately every two years, offers answers to these questions. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The RecyclingDesignprize is an open competition for the sustainable design of new products from waste and residual materials, for which (semi-)professional creatives can apply. The submissions show current developments from the fields of material research and circular economy, social design or transformation design and how design can influence sustainable processes. <\/p>

The most convincing designs are selected by a specialist jury from several hundred entries from all over the world and presented as “Outstanding Ideas” in an exhibition at Marta Herford and subsequently in cooperating institutions. The first three places are each endowed with prize money. <\/p>

A competition for pupils or schools in the region takes place to accompany the exhibition. The projects selected by a jury can then be seen at Marta Herford. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
