The Innovate Waste Challenge: Stewardship and Economic Development at Work

To innovate is to make changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products. When it comes to supporting residents� ideas and assisting them with making a good living and making the world a better place, your City of Flagstaff Economic Development Team practices innovation on a regular basis. Dating back to 2017, the city’s Economic Vitality Division implemented a new public program � The Innovate Waste Challenge -- to make a positive impact on the community, on the environment, and on the economy by inspiring residents to innovate and be rewarded!   

The City of Flagstaff Economic Development team started exploring ways to encourage entrepreneurship and environmental stewardship in late 2017. After months of research and drafts, and considering the development of critical partnerships, the Innovate Waste Challenge (IWC) was created with approval from City of Flagstaff City Council.  IWC invited entrepreneurs to examine all the material going into the landfill, and to develop a business idea to divert that material and convert it into a business product or service that would result in a new start-up business and jobs in Flagstaff.
