Never call it waste.
Make it valuable.
About ReFuse
Refuse is a Lebanese youth-led social enterprise, established in March 2022, aiming for a zero-waste society. ReFuse addresses the waste problem through systemic development and behavioral change, working with various stakeholders to implement sustainable inventions, including waste prevention, sorting, and recycling, while promoting responsible environmental actions. ReFuse always strives to build awareness, knowledge, and community engagement in waste management efforts.
“ReFuse made me transform my vision into a tangible mission - impossible only if alone. My startup, my dream, came true, uniting a 4 headed co-founders’ team, mixing engineering with urban sociology expertise. Now, this team keeps multiplying my mission. With a critical eye: challenging the status quo by creative, ethical irreverence.”
We work for a zero-waste society that channels resources to empower communities.
