Our CEO, Guglielmo Mazzà, was featured on Catherine Weetman’s Circular Economy Podcast. During the episode, Guglielmo shared insights into ReFuse’s mission of working with underserved communities in Lebanon to transform waste management practices.
Guglielmo, an environmental engineer and social entrepreneur, spoke about his experience working in the humanitarian and development sectors across Europe and Africa. He highlighted the importance of equitable access to resources and how ReFuse is helping vulnerable communities sort recyclables, reduce waste, and improve lives. The podcast discussed the operational side of ReFuse, showcasing how the organization has expanded the range of materials it can recycle. While many people assume the cash reward is the biggest motivator for participation, Guglielmo explained that it’s more about the community's commitment to sustainability and environmental impact.
Listeners also got a glimpse into the challenges faced by Beirut’s residents, including poverty, inequality, and a lack of basic infrastructure. ReFuse continues to navigate these hurdles while building solutions to empower communities and foster long-term change.
Guglielmo’s appearance on the podcast is an excellent reflection of ReFuse’s dedication to circular economy practices, shifting waste from a problem to a valuable resource.
