The 7 winners of Hack for Earth 2021
17 days of hackathon has come to an end and here are the winning solutions! These solutions will now go on to join the Build for Earth acceleration program and become real solutions for the good of society.
Description
Our initiative is to produce bioplastics from seaweed farmed off coastal India; keeping our waters safe and free of plastics while creating jobs, and supporting local female farmers. Our goal is to scale up to meet India’s move away from single-use plastics next summer, and beyond that, develop bioplastics dissolvable in saline water.
Motivation
The winner in the Hack for Earth challenge category Water is Varuna Blue.
For an outstanding solution in regards to the criteria Comprehensibility, Realisability, Innovativeness, Scalability, Solving the Sustainable Development Goals and Team, the winner in the challenge category Water is Varuna Blue.
The Jury finds that Varuna Blue has created a solution that has the potential to create real change for our future world.
The solution will also empower women through the employment of female seaweed farmers, and will provide a swift response to one of the most urgent threats we face today, plastic water pollution..
Results
Each jury group will evaluate your solution based on these six criteria. The jury criteria are equally important in the evaluation. The jury criteria are the same for all 7 challenge categories.
