We are changing the game in the sustainability industry.

Tommaso Troiani
I'm Tommaso, one of the founders of Byewaste. This means that I am responsible for building the best and most passionate team and making the world waste free. I started Byewaste because I couldn't believe that the only practical solution to recover value from these objects was to forget about them or at most incinerate them.

Francisco Rivera
I am Francisco, an entrepreneur and scientist with a PhD in process. My area of expertise is the development of circular economy. The last couple of years, I have been developing technologies for the recovery and recycling of waste in the Netherlands. I am a co-founder of Byewaste: a community-driven solution for the separation and recycling of household waste. We especially focus on materials that are harmful to the environment when mixed but which can be recovered as raw materials when properly separated. I am convinced that new knowledge and technologies can be used intelligently to create profitable innovation and a truly circular economy.

Riccardo Testa
Hi, I am Riccardo. I want to improve people's lives by developing software and I have tried to do so for my entire life. At Byewaste, I build the technology that connects citizens and waste companies. As a developer, I’m actively involved in all the stages of the product creation, from the concept to the deployment. I also love to be surrounded by nature, so I travel as much as I can to discover natural wonders around the world. Therefore, I want to be an active actor in the preservation of the natural world, which is why Byewaste’s mission is so important to me. I also believe that our service can help citizens fulfill their environmental responsibilities with greater ease.
