But reality hits hard too soon. Nobody uses the million dollar solution we're building. When I started Reway, I didnโt just assume there was a problem. I went out and talked to people. ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ. I spoke to multiple recyclers small, big, organised, unorganised. Met policymakers to understand regulations.
