6 months in: Chris' biggest surprise about the eWaste industry
Aug 16, 2025
6 months into the eWaste recycling game, Chris Blanz, CEO of Dispo.tech, expected a motherboard to be… well, a motherboard. Instead, he found a tangled mess of naming conventions, with every buyers using different vocabulary to describe for example grades of a motherboard. With a huge opportunity to define universal terms for eWaste, Chris started building a ‘master index’ with his buyers. True to his collaborative spirit, he envisions a future where small recyclers join forces, pool supply, and get better prices - similar to a farmer’s co-op, but for eWaste. #eWaste #electronicsrecycling #recycle #sustainability #entrepreneurlife #sidehustle #smallbusinessowner #circulareconomy #moneytips #ecopreneur #waste #urbanmining
