About

With over 30 years of experience in the technology sector, André Vanyi-Robin turned his focus in 2019 to one of the planet’s most urgent challenges— lack of transparency in plastic waste management. Driven by a vision of a sustainable future, he founded Plastiks, an innovative company that harnesses blockchain technology to bring transparency, traceability and accountability to the waste management industry. By verifying and tracing plastic waste recovery and recycling through globally recognized standards, Plastiks provides a credible foundation for circular economy initiatives. French-Hungarian born in New York and now based in Barcelona, André combines a global outlook with a deep passion for sustainability. His entrepreneurial journey, shaped by both achievements and lessons learned, underscores his ability to transform bold ideas into deep commitment to creating a sustainable future.
