Meet our angels

You can easily invest with both your heart and your mind at the same time. The world is facing so many challenges that require massive investments and innovative solutions. This is especially true for the circular economy. How do we use existing materials better so that we can conserve the planet's scarce resources? Often, it’s ‘just’ about thinking differently. THE UPCYCL does that. Here, both suppliers and customers can save money while benefiting the environment. It makes sense economically and is sustainable. That’s why I chose to invest in the company.

My investment in THE UPCYCL makes sense given my background. I grew up in the 1950s with a father who taught woodworking and a mother who taught handicrafts. We often repaired and reused materials. Later, in my communes and with my own young family, we continued to fix things and buy very little. I never really joined the consumerism trend. Seeing the high resource use in manufacturing today, investing in circularity feels right to me. My personal experiences have now led to a professional decision to support circularity as an investor.

My investment in THE UPCYCL is made based on the purpose of the company. We live in a world where we are consuming more and more of the planet’s resources each year—so why not use what we already have more efficiently? THE UPCYCL creates win-win situations through its B2B platform, where one company's waste becomes a valuable resource for another. This makes sense from both a sustainability and financial perspective.

My investment in THE UPCYCL is based on a belief that we need to think differently and find new paths and business models to succeed in the green transition. THE UPCYCL model is simple, clear, and obvious – I believe this is crucial for getting more people to commit to a sustainable, circular transition.

I invested in THE UPCYCL because I believe in the sustainable change it creates. Real change happens when there is a solid business opportunity, and I see that opportunity in THE UPCYCL's promise to its customers. I don’t believe businesses are ready to finance the necessary sustainable transformation purely for the sake of sustainability itself, and I understand that. I also don't think it's their responsibility to do so. However, the parties involved in transactions through THE UPCYCL's platform achieve both business results and help drive sustainable change. That, to me, is the key to making a real impact.

"I have become an investor in THE UPCYCL because I want more action and less talk on the path to a sustainable planet. We need to practice—on a very practical level. Moreover, I am increasingly frustrated by the waste of so many fantastic materials that still hold great potential. I think commercially and sustainably in the same breath. For me, it's a passion to unite 'a good idea' with 'a good business.'"

"I became an investor in THE UPCYCL because we need to start seeing waste as a resource! Endless overconsumption is neither economically sustainable nor responsible in terms of the planet's limited resources. Circular economy and strong partnerships in value chains are The Future! THE UPCYCL connects companies' value chains, which is common sense and crucial for a sustainable future."
