Whether they’re deploying organic waste as an alternative to ceramics or dreaming up a biodegradable replacement to polystyrene packaging, there are some ingenious ideas vying for the Green Alley Award this year
Imagine a future when you could use orange peel to recycle unwanted batteries, package fragile goods with eco-friendly charcoal and drink your coffee from a cup made from organic waste.
What if this wasn’t the future but a reality that is being created right now? Because these are the kinds of businesses shortlisted for this year’s Green Alley Award, Europe’s first and longest-running award for startups and entrepreneurs that pioneer circular principles. Six startups have been selected from more than 300 applications and will pitch at the Green Alley Award finals on 25 April in Berlin. The winning startup will be awarded a prize of €25,000 (£21,460).
