After all, being aware that the responsible use of natural resources must incorporate all business operations is a milestone for a startup to have a growing and profitable life cycle.

Relatively simple, right?

Now the best: being a sustainable startup indicates great value in the eyes of customers looking for a more livable world for the next generations.

Do you want to meet some successful companies that adopt this business model?

So get inspired with the following information!

Examples of sustainable startup

A sustainable startup reflects the importance of technological innovation and sustainability in business.

There are already several examples of it, outside and inside Brazil.

The French sustainable startup innovated in bulk liquid distribution by producing a refill vending machine inside supermarkets.

Its business strategy is to change consumption patterns by reusing packaging for liquid products.
