Chad Robertson

Co-Founder and CEO of Regenize, a recycling solution that’s on a mission to make recycling more accessible, inclusive and rewarding. Regenize provides a freemium recycling collection service that integrates waste pickers to perform the collections and provide them with uniforms, fossil-fuel-free recycling tricycles, equipment, mobile devices, access to clean recyclables and a decentralised recycling hub (DRH). All residents earn a virtual currency, Remali, each time they recycle. Remali can then be redeemed for various rewards, such as airtime, data and grocery vouchers.

Chad has a background in software development and is a student at UCT GSB, completing his MPhil in Inclusive Innovation, focusing on the informal waste sector.
