Co-Founder and General Manager ChemSmog

Company Bio: ChemSmog is the latest addition to ChemChimp, the ecosystem founded in 2022 that develops digital advantaged solutions for the chemical industry. ChemSmog is our B2B marketplace for selling slow- and non-moving chemical stocks as a sustainable solution. Promoting sustainability in the industry, increasing profitability, and reducing waste. ChemSmog is designed as an easy-access platform where this inventory: materials close to expiration, expired, out-of-spec, excess, and secondary raw materials can be sold. Since the launch in 2023, ChemSmog, has sold over 120 tons of products, preventing more than 95 tons of CO2 emissions, across 12 countries in 3 different regions. Our solution uses a data-driven sales approach, selling chemicals based on functionality beyond original application, across markets segments without geographical limitations. We create an advantage for material owners by valorising their potential waste, saving on CO2 emitted, and by monetizing through selling rather than disposing.
