about us
It all began with a collective dream, a simple desire to pursue a meaningful life, one where we could offer a long-lasting legacy to our children, future generations and our planet Earth.
To really be impactful, this endeavour has to be financially viable, unique in its approach, simple in its essence and quickly scalable.
One industry in particular has captured our attention, for its potential and timely relevance: the electronic waste industry. We believe that this ever-growing global problem has never been properly addressed from an environmental, health or industrial perspective.
