#sustainabilitychallenge – Taking a step further towards sustainability
Your ideas are too good to be forgotten!
IGCS and motan are carrying out a two-day virtual workshop.

Have you always had ideas on how to revolutionise the way we work and live with plastics in a sustainable way?
Then take part in our #sustainabilitychallenge: ‘Reduce | Re-Use | Recycle | Recover – Challenges and strategies in the handling of plastics’ and make a difference – shape the future with your innovative and sustainable ideas.
Our collaborative efforts are dedicated to helping students from Indian and German academic institutions to develop and foster sustainable ideas. This workshop is a continuation of our joint vision: incorporate innovative and sustainable ideas generation in interdisciplinary research, teaching, training and exchange in the area of sustainable development. Together motan and IGCS would like to motivate and support students to conduct research in the area of plastics and the circular economy.
