Description
The Ending Plastic Pollution Innovation Challenge (EPPIC) is an ASEAN-wide competition aiming to beat plastic pollution in coastal cities in Viet Nam, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines, by selecting innovative solutions and helping them to grow and scale-up.
Over 159 teams from six ASEAN countries applied to EPPIC in less than two months. They came up with a broad range of solutions to tackle plastic pollution with upstream and downstream innovations. In September 2020, 14 teams were selected as EPPIC finalists and undertook a 3-month incubation programme, including two field trips to Ha Long Bay and Koh Samui.
In the Final Pitching Competition scheduled in January 2021, four winners will be awarded a seed funding of up to USD 18,000 each and start a 9-month impact acceleration programme.
