With the end of 3rd quarter comes an unexpected lull (at least for some). Here are some new Innocentive challenges to munch on the time being:
Cathode Ray Challenge #2: New Uses for Recycled Glass
The Consumer Electronics Association®(CEA), in conjunction with the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), seeks to identify financially viable, environmentally conscious proposals for utilizing recycled Cathode-Ray-Tube (CRT) glass from used televisions and computer monitors. Key considerations for this Challenge are the fact that the CRT glass contains a significant concentration of lead, and that CEA is particularly interested in receiving submissions proposing uses for this lead-containing glass, as this may lead to the most financially viable solutions.
The Seeker may be interested in pursuing further collaboration with Solvers whose solutions they find promising.
Deadline:July 1, 2013
Reward: $10,000Note: This challenge only needs a theoretical proposal.
The following one is a bit different from the ones we normally tackle, but it's still really interesting:
