Hi everyone! My name is Lisa Zaretskaya. I would like to draw your attention to my report related to the topic Technology and Environment. I want to introduce Miniwiz, a company dedicated to upcycling consumer trash and industrial waste. It creates low carbon footprint materials, semi-finished goods and building modules suitable for uses ranging from construction to consumer products. The company’s purpose was based on a mission to address the great disparity between sustainability, recycling and eco-consciousness. In 2007, MINIWIZ developed its project, the HYmini - a groundbreaking portable wind, solar and hand-crank power generator made from recycled electronic waste plastic and post-consumer recycled paper.

By 2015, the World Economic Forum had recognized Miniwiz as a Technology Pioneer in the category Energy - Environment  -Infrastructure, highlighting the positive impact that the company’s activity has had upon the world’s environment and economic development. Today, MINIWIZ focusses on turning post-consumer waste into high-performance materials enabling the movement into a truly circular economy.

I suggest you to watch a short film about this company below.
