About Us
About Our Founder & CEO
Originally from Australia, Ms Adrienna Zsakay first visited Asia when she was 18 for a holiday to Bali. That four week trip changed her life forever, resulting in residences in India, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia as well as travels to other parts of the region. Over the last 40 years Ms Zsakay has witnessed tremendous development and change.
For more than 15 years Ms Zsakay worked in the food industry, setting up a food import company in South Korea and later built the world’s largest free database of Asian food regulations while living in Thailand. She become interested in the design, efficiencies and convenience of recycling collection systems, within the Asian context, when she moved to Thailand after living in South Korea.
What started as a serious hobby morphed into a full-time role after she was introduced to the circular economy later founding Circular Economy Asia in 2016. Whether you become a regular visitor or are just passing through, remember we are all in this together. How you choose to participate is up to you.
Our Vision
Our vision is for a future-focused, sustainability-minded society conscious of finite planetary resources.
A world where toxic chemicals are no longer used and new materials are created with additional use-cycles already factored into the innovation process. A world powered by renewable energy. A world where equal space and respect is given for all life on earth.
Our Mission
Our mission maps out the path to achieve our vision. We want a world defined by design, where all products are easily repaired, remanufactured, repurposed, upgraded, and at the end of the final use-cycle can be reprocessed into new materials.
Our Mission is to work towards these goals via our programs and projects. In 2021 we start with two projects.
Our Brands
Here is a list of all the current brands with trademarks and domains owned by Ms Adrienna Zsakay, CEO and Founder of Circular Economy Asia. Not all the brands and domains are in use, however, there are plans to bring all of these brands and domains to life.
Trademark rights arising from use (rather than from registration) are sometimes referred to as common law rights. You can establish rights in a trademark if you have a legitimate use of the mark. This means you use the mark in real time in association with a product, brand, or service you provide. This protection is automatic as long as it is a legitimate use of a mark for business or commercial purposes.
