issues with large physical footprints and reliance on barcodes, which limited usability. Bottld overcame these by using technology that could identify plastic types without the need for barcodes ensuring even damaged or label-less bottles could be processed. Over the past two years, Christophe and his team conducted extensive research, secured patents, sourced materials, and tested various prototypes. The result was a compact, smart machine capable of sorting and shredding plastic bottles on-site, drastically reducing the need for transport and associated emissions. The design challenge invited students to help shape the visual identity of Bottld. Participants were asked to submit creative designs for the exterior of the machine, with winners having their artwork featured on real units. The first- place design would be showcased on a machine installed at the winner’s school, while second and third place designs would be displayed in community settings. This initiative not only aimed to promote sustainability but also to engage young people in climate-positive innovation. By transforming recycling into an automatic, everyday action, Bottld and the design challenge sought to shift public perception, treating plastic bottles not as waste, but as a resource to be reused. n www.bottld.org
