Quantum Waste

Quantum Waste is a vertically integrated waste management company run by scientists, engineers and climate change investment experts. At the heart of our operations is the Qube: a mobile, sustainable, decentralised, aerobic composting system which brings recycling technology closer to your waste. The Qube is a leap forward in organic waste processing. It transforms food waste into organic fertilizer and delivers significant social, environmental and commercial advantages. Aside from food waste we also collect all other types of waste and recycle it into raw materials.

Local Quantum Waste depots are able to run one-stop, non-stop, zero carbon waste processing operations which minimise transportation time and costs, enable more flexible and efficient waste collections while keeping a low carbon footprint and high recycling rates. Quantum Waste’s system virtually eliminates the need for expensive upfront investment in complex large-scale plants and creates local employment for people who need it.

We hope that one day all organic waste will be processed this way – sustainably within local communities. Lead the change and make the Quantum leap now.

Who we are

We are a group of investors, engineers and entrepreneurs who are concerned by social changes and the environment. We have firsthand experience of big corporations and of the effects of globalization. We want to use those experiences to promote local and more sustainable solutions.

For us, Waste is not a problem but rather part of the Solution to mitigate environmental degradation and unemployment levels.

How we work

We have a can-do attitude. We work hard in order to achieve great results. We believe in environmental and social causes. We understand technology but we are also happy to do manual work. We treasure long-term relationships.

What we believe in

We believe that population has been growing faster than our ability to mitigate our environmental impacts. We believe that wealth is increasingly concentrated in fewer hands, that the social security system is under threat and that despite technology developments and increases in productivity people are seeing their entitlements reduced and are having to work longer hours and for longer years (at least those lucky enough to have a job).

We believe that committed people can still compete effectively with machinery when it is about dealing with complex operations.

We believe in flat organizations where people are trained and empowered to do their jobs. We believe that fair incentive systems and clear guidance on quality requirements can minimize the need for management layers, allocating the rewards to those who do the work and translating into savings for our customers.
We believe that local activity will in turn bring local innovation and further activities that will translate in more jobs and more business. We believe that technology and ingenuity can resolve many of our existing problems.

We also believe that technology has to be applied in the right doses not to create new problems in addition to the ones we are trying to resolve. People are at the centre of what we do. We believe that the simplest solutions are best.
