Closing the Loop

 

Reinhardt is co-founder and Supply Chain Director at Closing the Loop. Since joining the company in 2015, he has been involved in the collection of electronic waste all over the African continent, tied to a commercially attractive business model called Waste Compensation. His experience in Africa and in multi-stakeholder projects enables him to bridge the gap between the commercial business interests of IT purchasers and the reality in the informal sector where a lot of African waste management happens.
