Support the RadLaunch
2024 Degradability Challenge

Big Problems …

Plastic pollution wreaks havoc on global ecosystems

Over 400 million tons of plastic produced each year
42% of plastic waste is from packaging
9% of plastics are properly recycled- and even then, plastic can only be recycled once or twice

… require innovative solutions

The RadLaunch 2024 Degradability Challenge invites innovative submissions across the the product development chain that utilize UV+EB (ultraviolet and electron beam) technology that are designed with their end-of-life (EOL) in mind.
