In support of the Ministry of Environment’s policy on plastic waste reduction, the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) partner, Island Climate Initiative (ICI) under USAID’s global Clean Cities Blue Ocean Program, is calling on innovators around the world to design solutions to help Sri Lanka’s leading consumer goods companies reduce their plastic footprint.
Island Climate Initiative has worked closely with 10 of Sri Lanka’s largest consumer companies, including Hemas Consumer Brands to identify current and pressing plastic packaging-related challenges in the industry. The challenges fall into different categories representing the key areas requiring innovation and creative solutions.
Successful applicants whose solutions best address consumer goods companies’ top single-use plastic challenges will get the opportunity to pitch their technology at a solution showcase that will be held in early 2023. Winners’ solutions may be implemented contributing to global efforts to reduce the more than eleven million tons of plastic that enter the ocean each year.
