Eco-friendly tech businesses or any tech businesses that strives to give back to society and for a good cause.
What plan do you have in starting a business? (list existing business)
I am intrigued by the smart waste management solution from Ecube Labs, a korean startup founded in 2011,
they manufactured solar-powered portable waste compactors and smart waste bins by utilizes the global
tech trend of Internet of Things(IoT) to advance smart waste management.
As waste collection and management sector is one that is often ignored by most people, ideas like these not
only help the world work smarter, reduce littering and improve recycling rates, but also allows waste
collectors to reduce operating costs through lowering collection frequency.
