It is an „open“ competition which invites all creatives and designers with

Like at the first RecyclingDesignprize 2007 we ask for the design of objects

be conceived for daily use or for décor. The objects should planned for
production in “smaller” or “bigger” series in the frame of an institution
of employment promotion.
It is not allowed to use materials which are marked with the “green point”.
Each participant/ team can send a maximum of three works for the
competition.

“residual material” useless things shall become useable. The developed
products shall be displayed for sale in institutions of employment promotion
and generating so a social usability. The production of “clever”,
“beautiful” and “useful” objects which award a prize conduce the environment
and are a contribution for employment promotion.
Valuation criteria:
Valuation criteria for projects of recycling design: quality of design,

handicapped people, in youth workshops or initiatives of employment),
environmental safety, innovation and potential for the future.
