Business in a Box

Business in a Box combines our entrepreneurs Development Program with a standalone small scale Waste Transformer which transforms organic waste into value.


Why Business in a Box?

Emerging economies are bursting with entrepreneurship. However, the access to important resources, knowledge and funding for an entrepreneur to flourish are much harder to find. The Business in a Box program by The Waste Transformers provides local entrepreneurs will all the support and tools they need to run their own Waste Transformer as a business.

How does it work?

The selected entrepreneurs work as operator and manager and build up specific knowledge during the Development Program to manage a small scale Waste Transformer. Each entrepreneur follows our Development Program to grow as an independent entrepreneur and to work towards a reliable source of income. A small scale Waste Transformer on your site, means that waste can produce (financial) value, such as clean energy, water and compost. Each Business in a Box creates three jobs to run a site effectively.   

Is waste costing you money?

Together we can produce (financial) value out of organic waste
(and secondly you'll have a great story to share).

With the Business in a Box we open the power generation market in emerging economies to small businesses through training and giving access to commercial, small scale waste to energy biogas plants. The Business in a Box by The Waste Transformers is a set of shipping containers, equipped with the latest technologies to generate value from waste. We take care of the technology, maintenance and support and you take care of the organic waste.
