MCC and Chiasma bring you the Fonterra Case Challenge 2021 – ‘Making Plastics Sustainable’. In this competition, you will be challenged to apply your business and technical acumen to solve a problem of the future, in conjunction with one of New Zealand’s largest companies and New Zealand’s own soft plastics recycling programme.

Sign up as a team or as an individual and we’ll place you in a team. Teams of 2-4 students will be given one week to develop a concept to solve a current issue faced by the plastics industry. Submissions involve a three-page presentation of the concept, and if you make it to the finals you will get to present your concept to the Fonterra and Soft Plastic Program judging panel.

By entering, you will get a chance to win your part of the $1,750 prize pool. Entry is free with membership with MCC or Chiasma.
