Clean Recycling InitiativeTM is holding the 2nd annual International Sustainability Marketing Competition (ISMC). The competition will once again challenge students from around the globe to create a campaign idea that educates the public on environmental issues arising from textile waste and the technology platforms of Clean Recycling InitiativeTM.
Montreal – September 13th, 2023: Montreal, Canada based non-profit organization, Clean Recycling InitiativeTM will be running the second iteration of the International Sustainability Marketing Competition (ISMC) during September and October of 2023. The competition is once again open to students from prestigious universities around the world, with many students already registered.
“With the success of last year’s competition, we were excited to organize it again this year,” said Anna Belford, the Sustainable Development Specialist at Clean Recycling InitiativeTM.
“We have already managed to have even more participation, with 250 schools from over 55 countries already involved,” Anna continued.
“Education is one of the key elements of this competition. The participating students will have an opportunity to learn about important environmental issues originated from textile goods we use everyday and how we can effectively address it. This is the reason why we are organising the information sessions and making it mandatory for the students to attend at least one of them”, said Sae Chang, CEO of Clean Recycling InitiativeTM.
“The competition has grown to become the largest one of its kind in just two years, thanks to the keen interest on the subject by the public all around the globe and the great effort made by the team of organizers, judges and ambassadors who have graciously accepted to play important roles”, Sae continued.
As Sae mentioned, multiple information sessions with the same educational contents in all of them will be conveniently scheduled for different time zones to accommodate as many students as possible. Attending at least one information session is a mandatory requirement to participate in the competition. The schedules of the information sessions as well as more information about the competition can be found at the Clean Recycling InitiativeTM website (https://cleanrecyclinginitiative.com/competition/).

About Clean Recycling InitiativeTM
The non-profit organization, Clean Recycling InitiativeTM was established based on the donations of the technology platform with the same name, i.e., Clean Recycling InitiativeTM, from a Montreal, Canada based company, HEAT-MXTM, which specializes in thermal insulation business. The organization engages in providing solutions for recycling textile wastes without using chemicals or any other harmful processes for the environment. The solutions are designed for collecting and processing textile wastes from the general public as well as organizations in global textile industries in a wide range of operational categories, including manufacturing, transportation, distribution, retail, wholesale, etc. The technology platform consists of three different levels, defined based on the sources of textile wastes and how to collect and process them. LEVEL 1 is for household wastes with labeling requirements fulfilled by the general public. LEVEL 2 is for manufacturing wastes from textile mills and LEVEL 3 is for specific types of intermediary raw material manufacturing. Although the technologies were developed based on how the materials from each level are processed, one important aspect of it concerns the collections, especially in LEVEL 1, i.e., household wastes. Therefore, the organization will work with federal governments, municipalities, law makers, etc., around the globe to help implement the technology platform.
