Hamza Haider Email and Phone Number
The ginger bearded guy who makes sustainability exciting.Having studied across New York, London, Abu Dhabi and Singapore, I have worked closely with upcycling plastic at the intersection of design, sustainability and innovation.I am currently leading the team at RePlaste, a sustainable material design startup, operating across Abu Dhabi, UAE & Lahore, Pakistan. We see our Sapor™️, a 100% recycled & 100% recyclable plastic composite, sheets as a circular alternative to wood, ceramics, marble and mdf.Learnt more outside the classroom than inside it. However, reading Silent Spring in an academic setting led me to the realization that we are under-not-over estimating climate change. Would love to connect at hamza@replaste.com
