At Mosa, we believe in the power of community and education. We actively engage our local community through our bottle collection program and host workshops that teach the art of upcycling and sustainable living. Our efforts have fostered a loyal following, with over 3,000 participants joining our workshops and supporting our cause. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond our products. We prioritize inclusivity and wellness within our workplace, creating a culture where everyone feels valued and empowered. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that their practices align with our sustainability goals, and we continuously seek to improve our impact on our community and the environment. Mosa is more than just a business; it’s a lifestyle brand committed to making sustainability an easy, everyday choice for everyone. As we continue to grow, our vision remains clear: to be the first sustainable step for many and contribute to a future where economic growth does not come at the expense of our planet.

Best Youth Entrepreneur
What motivated you to start your business and what is your vision for the future of the company?
We started Mosa Technologies Inc. because we saw an urgent environmental problem that wasn’t being adequately addressed: despite being 100% recyclable, 78% of glass still ends up in landfills. This wasteful reality sparked a drive in us to create a sustainable solution that could make a real impact. Our vision was to turn discarded glass into something valuable, beautiful, and functional, transforming it into eco-friendly home decor products. Looking ahead, our vision for the future is to scale Mosa into a global leader in sustainable living. We aim to rescue millions of glass bottles from landfills and expand our product offerings to reach a broader audience. Our goal is to make sustainability an accessible and desirable choice for everyone, turning it from a niche market into a mainstream lifestyle. We’re committed to growing our impact, both environmentally and socially, by continuing to innovate and educate, ensuring that every product we create contributes to a more sustainable and conscious world.
