Our product, smartphone application, is purely digital. So
we produce the least polution as it is possible (plastic
and others)
We are trying our best to design our service efficiently. To
have smaller carbon footprint as possible.
We help ordinary people and even a municipalities to
clean dumps all over the world.
We really believe in idea of fighting illegal dumps.
Because there is still more and more trash disposed to
the places where it should not be. How is it possible that
some of the places are totaly clean and some are
messy?
