New Prize Alms to Drive Sustainable Plastics Packaging Innovation

摘要

The UK-based Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF), with the backing of The Prince of Wales's International Sustain-ability Unit and funding from an American philanthropist, announced May 18 it was launching a $2 million prize designed to spur innovation that "aims to keep plastics as valuable materials in the economy, and out of the ocean." Dubbed the New Plastics Economy Innovation Prize, it is funded by Wendy Schmidt, who is the lead philanthropic partner of EMF's New Plastics Economy Initiative.
