Good Afternoon,

I am a Community Developer working for Makesense an NGO helping social entrepreneurs, and more particularly I am working on the Future of Waste program we are trying to involve citizens in the development of organizations and innovative startups that transform and create new ways to manage our waste.

For 5 years, MakeSense has been helping 1360 social entrepreneurs like you by mobilizing people to find solutions to the challenges you are facing for your development and 85% of them said it did help!
Here are some examples of challenges that have been solved:
Help us plan our business development strategy!
Imagine our crowd-funding strategy!
How to attract and mobilize a community of volunteers?
What name should we give to our project?
and many more !

Recently, we have launch a global campaign to focus on major waste players with huge social and ecological impact : the cooperatives, entrepreneurs and Ngo that foster better waste collection systems.

With my colleague Antoine we will be in Berlin from the 26 of July to the 4 of August we are really interested by your recycled plastic compression machine.

If you are interested by what we are doing and the help we can provide you feel free to contact me and we can organize a meeting

Thank you
Have a great day
