12th Recycling Design Award

Application deadline: August 31, 26

A competition for the design of new products made from waste and residual materials. We are looking for innovative upcycling ideas and new developments in the fields of materials research and the circular economy, social design, or transformational design—ideas that are sustainable, visionary, imaginative, and original.

The most compelling designs will be selected by a panel of experts from among several hundred submissions worldwide and showcased in the exhibition “Ausgezeichnete Ideen” at the Marta Herford Museum, followed by displays at the Neues Museum in Nuremberg and the Spandau Citadel in Berlin. (Competition organizer: Arbeitskreis Recycling e.V. / RecyclingBörse! Herford – in cooperation with Marta Herford)
