Design Students Want YOU To Recycle

This year, the Glass Packaging Institute conducted their first ever Recycle Glass Day YouTube video competition. Over 80 students from six universities participated in the battle for $5,000 by creating videos encouraging folks to recycle. The videos were judged based on originality and creativity (50%); communicating the “glass message” (30%); and production technique and value (20%).

The winner was a group of Michigan State University students who created a stop-motion animated video, cleverly preaching: “glass can’t recycle itself”. As a highly renewable natural material, glass’s diversity has played an important role in sustainable design. It only makes sense that design students where amongst the major participants in this competition.
