Do you have an idea how disused shirts could be transformed into coffee filters? Maybe you know the formula to the 100-percent recycling of shoe soles? If so, apply now for the I:CO Award – the international Research Prize in the field of shoe and textile recycling!
The I:CO AWARD is being awarded by I:COllect AG and EPEA International Environmental Research GmbH. As of 2010, this prize will be awarded every two years in honor of excellent, experimental and innovative scientific work, with the aim or result of keeping textiles and shoes in a continuous cycle of circulation.
For the first time ever, the I:CO AWARD will be awarded in November 2010 at the Nutec trade show. The best recycling ideas in the categories, Product Idea (biological and/or technical) and concept Idea (system and services), will be awarded.
Candidacy for the I:CO AWARD can be fashioned freely from your own ideas. It is important that the idea you submit relates to textiles or shoes. Apply now for the 2010 I:CO AWARD! Applications will be accepted until July 31, 2010. We welcome your suggestion on recycling ideas for shoes and/or textiles! Simply send the signed and completed registration form (PDF) with your application include a maximum two-page summary in German and/or English showing the current state of research on the topic, the participant´s research approach and the results achieved.
