ELLIOTT MACCALLUM
FOUNDER
After working in both the financial and engineering sectors Elliott saw first hand the amount of inaction at even the largest corporations when meeting sustainability goals. It is then that he decided that it is not enough to be an unconscious consumer we must strive to be conscious of our environmental impacts.
​
"After building a flat pack chest of drawers which produced 5 bin bags full of polystyrene waste. I knew something had to be done to prevent this harmful waste and so I created HyphaPack so that our team could build something truly impactful"
MICHAEL ALVARADO
Chief Operating Officer
Michael is an Engineer, Carpenter and a Business Operations Manager. Having worked on commercial and residential construction projects, he would take commercial waste to landfill and saw the mountains of trash, especially Polystyrene first hand.
​
"Every time we do trips from construction sites to the landfill, at least 50% of the volume of waste is packaging materials - mainly polystyrene. I've heard countless complaints about it, and felt there must be a better way and I'm excited to join a cause to address it."
