The Baltic Sustainability Awards 2023 paves the way for unveiling impactful narratives and successes within the 'Circular Economy.' Hosted by the Rimi Baltic, this platform promises to spin tales of innovative sustainability into threads of actionable change.
Unleashing Circular Innovations:
Resource-Effective Design: Initiatives that ensure optimal utilization and conservation of resources across the lifecycle.
Waste to Wealth: Projects converting waste materials into valuable resources, ensuring minimal environmental impacts.
Sustainable Production: Adopting practices that minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency in production processes.
Collaborative Consumption: Platforms enabling the sharing, leasing, or renting of products, thereby reducing demand for new products.
Regenerative Agriculture: Practices that rejuvenate the soil, enhancing productivity and biodiversity while ensuring sustainability.
Special Food Innovation Prize
This year, we are introducing the Food Innovation Special Prize brought to you by Rimi Baltic. If you are part of an innovative food or food-related initiative, don’t hesitate to apply!
“The footprint of food production is one of the largest in society. Unfortunately, when we buy food, but also when we waste it, as consumers, we do not realize how big the impact of growing, transporting, and packaging this food is on the environment. Also, the proportion of carnivores in our region is exceptionally high, and the production of this product group has the greatest impact on the environment. Therefore, good alternatives to meat, as well as circular solutions for the food sector in general, are very welcome. Food is not just something we should think of as everyday normality, it has value, and we should appreciate it much more.”
shares Zanda Šadre, Rimi Baltic Corporate Responsibility and Communications director.
