2nd round - From trash to trophy -project focuses on identifying and utilizing potential materials from events to create new products. Potential end products include for example medals, trophies, merchandise and products with changing dates and logos. The project strengthens the cooperation among the events sector and introduces models to utilize material from one event to another. Through innovative use of 3D printing and different material resources, the trash from one event can become a trophy in the next.
In large public events, there are women and men visitors. According to studies, women are more eager to recycle and more interested in the climate-friendly lifestyle. In this project, the differences in attitudes of the genders are
acknowledged in interviews and surveys. Both women and men participate in SELL student games 2020, and they will test and evaluate the prototypes during the games. When planning and implementing the tests and evaluation, the different experiences and attitudes of women and men towards recycled products are taken into account. All actions are carried out equally and gender sensitively.
The project emphasizes the need to develop circular economy. The project supports companies and RDI actors to find new ways to utilize recycled materials and promotes sustainability and low-carbon economy.
