Axion Launches Green Product Design Competition

To mark the launch of its new 100% recycled polystyrene sheet product - Axfoil - Axion Polymers has launched a design competition with a £500 cash prize to find the best innovative and sustainable product design using its sheet or Axpoly compound.

In the first competition of its kind organised by the company, the winner will also have the opportunity to work with Axion Polymers on developing and taking their successful design to market.

Axion is seeking designs for a novel household product with mass market appeal that could be manufactured from its Axfoil or Axpoly products, which are derived from 100% recycled refrigerator plastic, TV casings or post-consumer electronic games consoles.

Deadline for entries is January 8, 2010.
