Have you considered compost as a sustainable solution that can successfully tackle this problem in a collaborative and innovative manner?

She has graduated from the University of Queensland in 2018, with dual degrees in Business Management and IT, alongside international experience, accumulated while working with high-tech startups and volunteering with environmental groups and movements. It was then that Ashley saw the massive global issues surrounding waste, the impact potential of recycling, and the role that innovative technologies could play in creating solutions. She went on to found Monty Compost Co, a startup company that develops hardware and digital technologies to enable efficient and accessible composting for everyone, everywhere, to tackle the significant challenge of managing organic and food waste. In her talk, Ashley will share with us powerful, yet, unexpected revelations that could help achieve efficient sustainability and solve climate change.
