British International Education Association calls application for University STEM Challenge 2020.

The Challenge

We know that the world has a plastic problem.

Our plastic waste is now causing chemical pollution in our seas.
Can you or your team come up with ideas and solutions that can help to reduce the plastic waste and STEM the Tide of Plastic Pollution?
