What is your long-term vision for Blue Planet, and how do you see the company shaping global sustainability through circular economy solutions?

Blue Planet's long-term vision is to transform waste into a valuable resource by building a scalable and technology-driven circular economy platform. We integrate multiple waste streams including municipal solid waste, plastics, e-waste, hazardous materials, and biofuels into unified systems that focus on transparency, traceability, and measurable impact. By 2030, the goal is to triple our impact, expand across Asia and beyond, and prove that sustainability and commercial viability can go hand in hand. Through landfill reclamation, renewable energy generation, and zero waste to landfill models, Blue Planet is reducing carbon emissions, reclaiming land for communities, creating green jobs, and shaping a future where waste becomes opportunity.
