Bio

Sandra Sassow co-founded SEaB Power Ltd to work towards a future in which cities or remote communities can capitalize on their waste to create renewable sources of energy and curb the negative impacts of waste collection processes. SEaB’s shipping container devices can be placed behind community locations such as grocery stores and hospitals, where they use bacteria to anaerobically digest organic waste created at that location and produce usable fertilizer, energy, and water as a result. Sandra has been recognized globally as a role model for women in business innovation, and as a leader in green tech business and technological development. Her most recent awards and nominations include speaking at the UN solution Summit and being selected as a finalist in Shell’s Global New Energy Challenge. Through Sandra, SEaB was featured in CNBC, BBC and WIRED and was selected from over 500 applicants by the NASA backed sustainability initiative, ‘LAUNCH: Beyond Waste,’ as a provider of a global game-changing technology to address climate change.

I'm passionate about

Transforming every city block into resilient, self-sustaining circular economy hubs. Something I would be proud to leave for the next generation.

An idea worth spreading

In the UK alone food waste travels 52.2 million miles a year in mainly diesel trucks that get just 3 mpg. Why?
