TeknTrash fulfils the current critical gap in consumption data.

TeknTrash focuses on the product disposal process, generally our household recycling, in order to capture this data. TeknTrash have built a product called Stipra, an App powered by AI which recognises individual products at points of disposal and provides valuable information on when, where and how frequently the product is being consumed. As a result, brands are able to understand much more about the journey of their products once it leaves the shelf.

The company is led by a passionate founder Al Costa, who fundamentally believes that the waste issues on this planet should be dealt with at a global level, supported by tech and innovation in order to facilitate a greater awareness and accountability among brands and consumers alike. Al believes the waste and recycling model needs to be flipped, consumers should be rewarded for good habits rather than penalised for bad ones, the old carrot and stick model still works!
