Impressed Jurors at the Poster Contest
In the heart of Germany, the city of Lübeck has taken a significant step towards environmental protection with its Mehrweg Poster Competition. This initiative, a joint venture between the "Wir für Mehrweg" round table and local businesses, aims to raise awareness and promote the use of reusable packaging for takeaway food and drinks.
The competition, open to students from all educational backgrounds, encourages participants to think creatively about environmental issues and find solutions for a sustainable future. The winning designs will be transformed into signs for businesses in Lübeck that offer Mehrweg, a move aimed at sensitising customers to the topic and raising awareness about the new regulation.
The signs, which are an integral part of the competition, serve as a visual reminder of the importance of Mehrweg and its role in reducing litter and plastic pollution. They also contribute to a circular economy by emphasising the benefits of reusable options over single-use packaging.
The competition is more than just a design contest; it's a platform for students to exhibit their engagement and creativity in promoting sustainability. By explaining the complex topic of Mehrweg in a simple and understandable way, the competition aims to encourage behavioural change towards more sustainable consumption patterns.
The new legal requirement in Lübeck states that takeaway food and drinks must be offered only in reusable containers. With many people still unaware of this new regulation, the competition plays a crucial role in environmental protection and the pursuit of a sustainable future.
Businesses such as EVG Landwege and Bäckerei Junge have already pledged to use the signs in their stores, further demonstrating the competition's impact and the city's commitment to sustainability.

The competition, open to students from all educational backgrounds, invites participants to brainstorm sustainable solutions for the home-and-garden sector, with a focus on adopting a sustainable lifestyle by employing reusable packaging. The winning designs will not only be displayed as signs for businesses in Lübeck, but also promote the use of sustainable-living practices and raise awareness about the new Mehrweg regulation.
