Through the Pépites competition, the MEL (Métropole Européenne de Lille) invited student entrepreneurs to submit applications for innovative projects with a social and environmental impact.

3 projects led by students from the Icam Lille campus, who chose to follow an MSE (Mémoire Scientifique Entrepreneurial), are among the 8 nominees for the MEL’s Pépites competition.

> La compostière

Winners: Théo Pruvost, Thibault Lemay, Damien Guillotot

Their aim? To develop a universal solution enabling everyone to sort their food waste by transforming it using collective, sustainable composter-gardens.

> We caps

Winners: Adrien Bauw, Arthur André, Louis Lechelle and Clément Flajolet

Their aim? Reuse used glass bottle caps, once considered waste, to make them usable again.

> La suite

Winners: Martin Willem, Antoine Guillemant

The aim? To collect glass bottles from cafés, hotels and restaurants on a pooled basis, then sort, clean and check them before offering them to industrial bottlers.

 

This prize will enable them to benefit from a publicity campaign supported by the MEL and its partners, as well as assistance in launching a crowdfunding campaign.

A fine sign of success for our student entrepreneurs!
