The government-funded German Federal Environment Foundation has awarded its annual German Environmental Prize to Bas van Abel and two recycling experts. The prize comes with a combined total of 500,000 € prize money (I assume it’s evenly shared between the laureates).

Congratulations!
“Van Abel will receive a financial award of 250,000 euros.”
I wonder what he will do with the money.
Meanwhile … “Abel has left the building” 
Investing it in sustainability.
These are great news for the whole FP-team. Congratulations!

There is a small “Audio”-icon in the right lower corner of the picture showing the Fairphone you have to press to get the report.
Cool. Especially because the ceremony will be in my hometown Würzburg
But seems like it´s an private party
