Green Alley Award

Discover the latest circular economy business ideas.

With climate change becoming more evident around the globe, a key question today is: how do we reduce the consumption of finite resources and maintain their value in the economy for as long as possible? We created the Green Alley Award to acknowledge the companies who are trying to find answers to this question.

The Green Alley Award is Europe’s first startup prize for the circular economy. Since 2014, Landbell Group has presented the Award to startups whose innovative products, services or technologies help make the most efficient use of resources and reduce waste drastically. The solutions presented by these lateral thinkers range from sustainable materials to digital tools for a circular economy.

This makes Landbell Group the go-to-partner when it comes to innovations and new approaches in the circular economy. The Green Alley Award helps us discover promising sustainable business solutions before they enter the mass market and offer our customers new sustainable alternatives to improve their products, services and supply chains.
