They have taken on a big task - making Malta single-use plastic free - and if we get there fast, we would be the second EU country to achieve this!!!
(In case you ask, Luxembourg is slightly ahead of us. 🙄)
So, in a compostable nutshell, your challenge is to gather a team and work on an idea to help making this happen. Whether you think of edible coffee cups, bamboo straws, food delivery in reusable boxes, banana leaves, bring your own mug refill stations ... or ... you get the idea.
The main point is - play, explore, have fun, ask people, go out and speak to businesses, scroll through Wolt and Bolt, take note of the waste you see in the streets - open eyes and ears create the best solutions.
Wouldn't it be amazing to order some takeaway food that doesn't make you feel guilty for all the rubbish?
Isn't it exciting to know that your food will make you feel great rather than adding more and more micro plastics to your body?
Yes, we think so too!
Thank you ERA for trusting our amazing participants with this challenge!

It is about solving problems that affect us all, so your unique lifestyle and background can be the missing link in creating great ideas for your team!
Yes! No need to have a team or bring a group. On the day, people will pitch their ideas (we help you to do that) and if you like someone's idea, you go and join their team! If you have an idea already, you can pitch it and others might want to join your team!
Why would you not?
How often do you get a chance to meet people who are full of energy, want to make change happen, learn new things, meet potential employers, start your own business and have a direct impact on the day to day life here in Malta?
24 hours. Zero fees.
I know, we are crazy to supply all the food, space, organizing power and a 5000EUR prize for the winner - but hey, grab your chance while there are still tickets :-)
No, but you are more than welcome to pitch one if you come up with one on the day - you never know what fun people you meet and what you might have in common! Also you might find that someone else is thinking about a really good idea, so you can vote for them and join their team as well!
Thanks to our global partners
