InnovationClub wishes to be one of the cornerstone companies that direct the shape of this future, keeping the spotlight on the pioneering of different products and manufacturing solutions that reduce plastic consumption and decrease waste as a result.

That is, creating value from waste that will eliminate waste later when the product is consumed. A true circular solution.

With a career specialising in hospitality, he has extensive experience at the user end of the supply chain and the difficulties they face in disposing waste sustainably. These insights combined with the different industry experiences from the team he has assembled are the driving force behind the innovation and drive, so that they can strive to achieve their singular purpose. He recognises that he does not have all the answers and that true problem-solving comes from a broad church of purpose driven individuals, who each have a different perspective. Thus, ingenuity and experience are combined – and the wider landscape of sustainable solutions – benefits accordingly.
