About the Organization
Tapping into AI and Materials Science, Wastezon sources and refurbishes e-waste into quality-vetted second-hand consumer devices and secondary raw materials. Through our Wastezon app & web platforms, we trace and acquire obsolete and second-hand devices from entities. Utilizing our AI-powered in-house mineralogical laser scanner, we recover and refurbish such devices into low-cost, functioning, and reusable devices (mainly smartphones and laptops) that are distributed to low and middle-income households. For unrefurbished devices, we utilize the laser scanner to detect mineralogical contents and extract relevant secondary raw materials, such as copper, aluminum, etc..for resale to manufacturers. So far, over 590 tons of e-waste have been transacted on the Wastezon app, diverting an equivalent amount of over 46400 tons of carbon emissions.
