SUSTAINABILITY Challenge 2019 (closed)

The world is overflowing with plastic waste! The global community is starting to embrace the challenge presented by all of the plastic we create. The solution? Designing a better world. Not a world without plastic, but a world in which plastic is used in the right places and as sustainably as possible.

Challenge overview

Dassault Systèmes would like to see its tools used to further the innovation of the circular economy for plastic. Good design is the key to solving many of these challenges. Design relies on a wide variety of skills, ranging from engineering, to design, to value prop creation. We invite students from all of these disciplines to choose one of these three pathways to a better world!

By entering this Sustainability Challenge, you can:

  • Streamline: transform a product shape to use less plastic;
  • Remake: use an everyday plastic product and remake it;
  • Link: build or optimize a physical + social network to increase rate of repair, secondary use, and recycling for a product.

We invite students from all of these disciplines to choose one of these three pathways to a better world! Explore them below:
