DETALLE RETO

Descripción

UPS already provides a ‘returns program’ for its larger partners, whereby customers can return items to companies by dropping them off in UPS bags at a UPS access point. UPS could utilize this system to deliver used biodegradable packaging to a third party where it can be industrially composted. To do this, we have set SME’s two challenges: 1. Can you create a version of UPS Packaging that is biodegradable and industrially compostable? The packaging must be completely industrially compostable and contain no microplastics. It must also contain wording that makes this clear. Too many biodegradable products do not clarify that they are not suitable for home compost, creating unnecessary pollution. The product must also attempt to maintain the durability standards of current UPS packaging. 2. Can you create a method to incentivize customers to drop off the packaging at a UPS Access point so it can be transferred to a third-party industrial composter?

Incentivo

An assignment to realize a prototype or pilot. Probability of lasting cooperation. Interesting network of cooperation partners and municipalities, which can also be used to spread your concept further if it is demonstrably effective.
