Plaex

Getting a good/better customer profile is crucial in this process for companies to sell their product/service. However, in terms of what customers are wasting, there is no customer insight. Tailoring marketing campaigns to this is an avenue that a company helps them in this. Furthermore, plastic pollution is damaging the natural ecosystem and there are not enough repositories for recycling entities to receive plastic waste and upcycle it. By showing support to this, companies improve their corporate social responsibility (CSR). Lastly, money is lost on inefficient waste pick up & disposal by governments, making it more expensive than necessary.
