About the Organization:

Wastezon is redefining the future of urban mining by innovating for materials circularity. To live in a waste-free world, we must establish traceability systems to valorise and reuse materials. Our integrated solution consists of Wastezon 2.0, a digital marketplace for quality-vetted second-hand electronics, and WastezonX, a web app that provides manufacturers with traceability and reverses logistics services. So far, over 500 tons of electronic materials have been transacted on the Wastezon app, diverting an equivalent amount of over 3100 tons of carbon emissions
