ASEC 2010 Korea

This year, Korea joined in the ASEC with over 300 students participating. Team Grandizer emerged as the champion! (Link) Our business has mainly two objectives: creating profit and protecting the environment through recycling paper in a more effective and efficient way. Our Inside Business is collecting used paper from corporations and households and then selling the gathered paper to existing recycling enterprises, demonstrating firsthand the preservation of the environment and CSR. The Outside Business is the advertisement for partner corporations. We will establish contracts with corporations that participate in our business to advertise the corporations, simultaneously establish contracts with individuals/households to distribute “Green Cards” in return for used paper. “Green Card” is to accumulate mileage for the amount of used paper the households give to us and to give benefits from the partner corporations’ service and products. Through this, corporations gain a lot more targeted consumers.

ASEC 2010 Challenge

The Challenge According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization some 13 million hectares of the world’s forests are lost every year, including 6 million hectares of primary forests. Primary forests — forests with no visible signs of past or present human activities — are considered the most biologically diverse ecosystems on the planet.

Your challenge today is to design a product or process that will significantly reduce the use of timber in one or more of these areas: housing construction; furniture; or paper.  You will need to create a business plan for your product, and a 3-D model to be shown to potential investors. In addition, your design will also need to educate the public – especially young people — about the benefits of your product.  Therefore, your 3-D model will later be donated to the local science museum as an exhibit, helping children learn how your product or process contributes … Continue reading
