Considering both what’s possible today and what could be possible in the future, we invite you to address the following question:

Describe a dream collaboration between Mars Inc. and another organization to influence, engineer, or reinvent a solution for the proper disposal of sustainable packaging.

Proposed solutions should target specific brands from one of the Mars segments: Food, Petcare, and/or Mars Wrigley products and services.

Your solution can cover a wide range of categories, including (but not limited to) Breakthrough Technology, Communications/Social Media, Next Gen Material Science, Consumer Engagement, and Supply Chain as we transition from our current packaging to the future of sustainable packaging materials. Your solution could also be a combination of categories.

Propose a collaboration between a Mars Segment (or all segments) and another organization

Propose an implementation, communication, and marketing plan that suits your recommendation

Quantify the sustainability impact of your solution for a particular market
