GOOD: Re-Energizing the Original Approach to Recycling

That’s why GOOD is hosting an open call for submissions by designers, policymakers, problem-solvers, and general do-gooders to revamp and re-brand the humble system of the bottle bill. 

the Objective
Let’s bring this decidedly old school, tried-and-true method of reusing and recycling up to speed for the modern American middle class.

the Assignment
It’s a shame these laws are so terribly confusing, so we’re looking for your help to communicate, in any way that gets the message across, who owes what to whom, how much, where the money goes, and where to go to get a refund. Touch on things like handling fees, which in New York, can whittle your five-cent refund to a penny and a half. And tell us which, if any, grocery stores have reverse-vending machines. And when was the last time you drank an American beer in a reusable bottle? It’s probably been a while. Maybe we can change that too?

the Requirements
Submit your entries here by Wednesday, November 16, and you could win $50, a GOOD t-shirt, and a year free subscription to GOOD Magazine. Happy designing!
