Armed with the right tools, inspiration, and know-how, anyone can become a Wasteless Warrior, pioneering a sustainable future for their community.

Our founder Tom, is in the process of developing an educational podcast that we aim to have inspiring the soundwaves by the end of April. Setting this up properly requires time, planning, and funds, at this stage, he is funding it himself and doing the research and development in his spare time. One way you can help him get valuable Wasteless laughs to your ears sooner is by becoming a patreon, so he can afford to spend less time at his day job and more time doing what he loves, sharing, and caring.

Our History

2019 - Information-based website built to educate and inspire mindful solutions to waste.

2020 - Amid global lockdowns, our founder Tom was in Panama and unveiled a groundbreaking solution to tackle plastic pollution in underdeveloped and remote areas, aligning with the circular economy principles. Inspired by this vision, a passionate group from Bocas del Toro invited Tom to spearhead the initiative, birthing Wasteless World's impactful journey in the community.

2021 - With our Wasteless Warriors team, we partnered with local entities to open Bocas del Toro's inaugural recycling center, introducing recycling bins, collection systems, and educational programs. These efforts aimed to reshape attitudes toward waste and protect our environment.

June 2021 - The Lionfish Project emerged from the innovative minds within the Wasteless World team, driven by their expertise. They devised an effective strategy to combat the invasive Lionfish threatening the marine ecosystem around Bocas del Toro.

2022 - Once the recycling center became self-sufficient, we advanced our vision of converting post-consumer plastic into plastic lumber. This innovation not only created jobs and reduced landfill waste but also supported Wasteless World's mission to enhance waste management infrastructure and education in Bocas del Toro. Serving as a model for similar communities worldwide.

Sep 17th 2022 - A devastating fire at 3 am engulfed our factory, erasing the hard work of our team and community. This tragic event was a significant blow to Wasteless World and the wider community. In response, we redirected our remaining energy and resources to sustain the Lionfish project, supporting both the community and our overarching mission, while we reevaluated our finances and strategized our next steps.

2023 - The fire tested Wasteless World on all fronts. Yet, with the resilience from lionfish jewelry sales and founder donations, we're bouncing back. This intense experience, though it downsized our team, has fortified our determination to press on, teaching us invaluable lessons along the way.

2024 - Our website's revival was fueled by the incredible support of our dedicated Patreon community. We're excited to demonstrate to everyone who shares our vision of a life enriched with more joy, more love, and less waste, that TOGETHER WE CAN, indeed forge a Wasteless World.
