IDSA Partners with BetterBin Design Competition for a More Sustainable NYC

 

For almost 90 years, the design of New York City's recognizably green, wire-meshed litter baskets has barely changed. But soon, they'll get a major upgrade. In July 2019, the BetterBin Design Competition is set to reveal the winning design of a more functional, clean, ergonomic and sustainable wastebasket that will improve the quality of life for NYC residents and the sanitation workers who service them. In mid-June, the finalists' prototypes will be unveiled and deployed to the streets.

Join Purdue University's Student Chapter for Converge 2019. 

 

This year's theme, The Next Generation, considers that the college class of 2019 is the first to be almost completely Gen Z, and will be hitting the workforce in a few short months.
