Making Waste A Force Of Nature

Print Share

Goal

Improve recycling of an agricultural company

Problem

Extracting value from natural resources is environmentally challenging

Sebir

Recycling gains momentum through making use of the residue of natural resources that have been processed in some manner already. For instance, an agricultural developer accesses the white fiber of the banana tree trunk after bananas have been harvested and converts it into a base material for various paper and wood-type products Rather than suffer, the natural habitat thrives and valuable products are produced from a resource that had no prior economic use and was generally left to decompose

Breeding Hint 1

Think about how you might extract benefit from the natural habitat where normally valueless decomposition or waste occurs. Such a strategy could generate value while accelerating desirable natural processes

Breeding Hint 2

Think how you might engage with the environment proactively as a source of assistance rather than seeing it passively as something that must be touched lightly and 'skirted around'. This could be a source of new products or services that boost nature as well as delivering economic value
