About the competition
The City of Swan is inviting high school students aged 11-18, who either attend school or live within the City, to take part in our Eco-Warrior Challenge.
Students can participate individually or in groups and will propose a circular life cycle for a product that is currently single-use.
We are asking students to use their creativity to change a linear make-use-dispose process into a process that fits into the circular economy and maximises resource recovery.
