Andres Figar

I get immense satisfaction from extracting value out of what others call ‘waste’. From growing lemon and avocado plants from their pits and using coffee grounds as fertilizer, to (not so great) attempts at making furniture from pallets and other wooden bits from the street, I love the challenge of finding a second life for ‘waste’. Earth cannot sustain 8 billion (increasingly wealthier) people at the current consumption levels, so I am thrilled to be working towards reinventing the way we consume and be part of the solution.
