At Wastezon, we are on a mission of leveraging cutting-edge technologies to create a waste-free world. Instead of dumping their electronic waste, Wastezon facilitates households to sell their e-waste to recyclers, earn perks while providing resources to Recyclers. Through traceability, sorting, and collection services, over 480 tons of e-waste have been transacted through our app, diverting an equivalent amount of 2650 tons of carbon emissions. We have received Qitcom Startup Hub Prize and UK’s Build Magazine has recognized us as East Africa’s Top E-waste Solutions Provider. In alignment, with the circular economy, we strongly believe that each material should be repurposed, reused, or recycled to minimize waste. As a sustainability-centric company, we champion a sustainable lifestyle, accompanied by transparency and teamwork because we believe that to build a waste-free world we need joint efforts that leverage openness and trustworthiness to drive impact.
