WASTE IMPACT
Government, industry and society are faced with the daunting challenge of rethinking
their approach, systems and services associated with waste disposal. But where does
the problem begin? Any one individual or organisation cannot solve this problem. A
business as usual approach will not work. It’s time to start the clean-up, bottom up - to
bring together disruptive thinkers, tinkerers and innovators to rethink, redesign and
reimagine systems, services and constructs.
It is time to completely reimagine the problem of waste.

We identify low cost, high impact, inclusive solutions primarily by conducting
