Innovation Challenge

During the Innovation Challenge you are given the chance to experience startup life while brainstorming over a real world problem.

As shipping is mostly one-way, pallets are normally not reused. The Amsterdam based startup Cocopallet has developed a sustainable and cost competitive export pallet made from coconut waste. CocoPallet is 100% bio-based. It replaces Timber Pallets and prevents logging and transportation of millions of trees. 5 billion Timber Pallets are produced annually, causing the deforestation of 500 million trees per year.

As the company is planning to expand rapidly and trying to find a way to assess the life cycle of the pallets, many challenges come forward. Will you help them revolutionize global trade?
