###How To Make Coffee-Cups-To-Go Circular?

Challenge at OSCEdays Berlin 2016 - but also globally

###Challenge
“More than 450.000 cup-to-go’s are sold in Berlin - every single day. How can we change this to a re-use system, either as new service design/reverse-logistics innovations, product innovations, or business model innovations?”

In an intense half-day workshop, we will take this challenge through all phases of a Design Thinking process. After gaining an understanding of the people in context, we will head right into prototyping ideas and take these into the field to gather feedback.

Join this challenge and post your upfront questions here.

admin note: I transferred the topic from the “Berlin” category to the “Packaging” category where all challenges and questions are. Let me know, if this is not in your interest.
