Startup Plastic Surgery

Startup Plastic Surgery, launched by KIK (Klímainnovációs Közösség - Climate Innovation Community), is the first startup programme in Hungary to offer support to startups aiming to rethink the use of plastics and tackling plastic challenges. Do you have an innovative solution for the usage or the substitution of plastic? In the Startup Plastic Surgery programme we work together with innovators who have a feasible solution for the environmental and health problems caused by plastic. We support these ideas and solutions with industry specific mentoring and business coaching in their development into a market-ready enterprise. We are looking for ideas offering innovative solutions in the following areas: • Substitution materials for plastic e.g.: new sustainable packages. • Technological innovation especially in the catering and food industry. • System innovation and business model innovation through the production, recycling and re-use cycle of plastic. • Initiatives encouraging behavioural changes in plastic use.
