INNOVATION 4.4 OCEANS PRIZE
Join us for the inaugural 2021 Oceans Prize!
$100,000 Prize for Addressing Plastic Pollution
The Innovation 4.4 Oceans Prize catalyzes innovation for oceans solutions. The 2021 prize is focused on eliminating plastics from our oceans and other ecosystems by replacing future plastics use with better alternatives and removing existing plastic pollution
Innovators from around the world are invited to submit solutions in three categories:
- Non-petroleum based plastic alternatives that do not contain traditional plasticizers or any endocrine disruptors/dirty dozen chemicals
2. Systems level solutions for how we address the existing plastic pollution that include collection and processing (plastics recycling or any other process that involves re-toxifying the material for re-use with endocrine disrupting/dirty dozen chemicals does not qualify as a viable solution in this category)
3. Component level solutions for how we address the existing plastic pollution that address a specific aspect of plastics in our environment such as collection only, processing only, etc. (plastics recycling or any other process that involves re-toxifying the material for re-use with endocrine disrupting/dirty dozen chemicals does not qualify as a viable solution in this category)
