The representative of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), Steliana Nedera, said that the circular economy aims to produce more products with fewer reusable resources.
“We have decided to focus on plastics, textiles, furniture and food waste sectors,” said Ms Nedera.
She invited young designers to apply for the competition until 20 February and offer their sustainable solutions for better use of resources.
