Challenge Focus, Goal, and Topic
Toyota wants you to promote the circular economy through logistics. It's a hefty challenge, possibly their biggest yet. They're looking for designs that are sensitive to the environment, the community, and the local economy. And hey, it's not just about drawing pretty pictures. Your designs need to be innovative, user-friendly, and realistic to implement.
Prizes and Recognition
Apart from the cash prize, winners get a chance to showcase their genius at a sustainability event. Talk about bragging rights!
How Does the Challenge Work
Submit your designs that incorporate the principles of a circular economy and logistics. And here's the kicker: your submission should also include a sustainability report. They want the whole shebang - environmental impacts of production, use, and what happens when your design has served its purpose.
