E2E designs sorting trash can with Knightec

EWB-SWE held a two-part event in collaboration with Knightec, consultants in technology, digitalization, and leadership. Sustainable Trash was a team competition event to design the most efficient sorting trash can suitable for modern-day homes. Recycling starts at the source, and the goal was to make a trash can that is cost-effective and makes sorting trash easy.

During the first session, Knightec gave an introduction, participants formed teams and brainstormed. The teams had a week to build a prototype and create a business plan.

Finally, the teams presented their prototype and business plan and Knightec announced the winner!

It was an incredible event, teams gave their full effort, and all of the business plans were thorough and carefully crafted.
