Rejoose

At Rejoose, we believe traditional business transactions lack transparency when it comes to their environmental impact. In essence, they leave a hidden cost – carbon emissions – unaccounted for. This creates several challenges for companies: Blind spots in sustainability: Without knowing the carbon footprint of each transaction, setting and tracking progress towards emissions reduction goals becomes a guessing game. Informed decision-making hurdles: Sustainable choices often involve trade-offs. Without clear data, prioritizing actions to optimize environmental impact becomes difficult. Stakeholder engagement struggles: Customers and investors demand environmental accountability. Traditional invoicing offers no way to showcase your commitment with concrete data. Compliance concerns: Regulations around carbon reporting are tightening. Ignoring transparency can lead to penalties and missed opportunities. This is where Rejoose e/voice steps in. We seamlessly integrate carbon emission data directly into your invoicing process. Think of it as transforming financial transactions into powerful sustainability statements. Every transaction now carries valuable insights into your environmental footprint, empowering you to: Pinpoint and tackle emission hotspots: Identify areas in your supply chain and operations where emissions are highest, allowing you to prioritize improvement efforts. Tell your sustainability story: Communicate your commitment to a greener future with transparent, data-driven reports that resonate with stakeholders. Make a real difference: Take informed actions that minimize your environmental impact, contributing to a more sustainable future for all. At Rejoose, we believe transparency is key to sustainable business practices. Let e/voice be your guide to unlocking valuable insights and taking concrete steps towards a greener future.

Paint'R

In the European Union alone, more than 1.5 million paint buckets are discarded daily, constituting a disposal of 340 tons of single-use plastic that is incinerated each day. Starting from early 2023 (2025 in Denmark and Slovenia), manufacturers are obligated to cover the disposal costs of their packaging based on sustainability criteria. In Denmark, this translates to an estimated 15% fee on paint buckets. Furthermore, the conventional round shape of packaging has proven suboptimal for logistics and transportation. Beyond its environmental impact, the traditional paint bucket poses challenges for professional painters. These challenges encompass ergonomic issues during handling, such as the strain of lifting two buckets simultaneously, which exceeds recommended weight limits according to the Working Environment Authority. Painters also find themselves in awkward positions when pouring paint into a roller bucket for wall application. The demanding physical nature of the painting profession in Denmark results in accelerated fatigue and early retirement for painters. Additionally, issues like lid leakage due to dried paint and the use of fragile, porous plastic contribute to unexpected spills, particularly during abrupt vehicle stops. Our innovative solution involves a cardboard box housing two patent-pending plastic bags, each containing 5 liters of paint. This packaging not only enhances the workflow for professional painters but also reduces costs and lowers carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions by approximately 65% per unit. The box's design facilitates easy and ergonomic transportation, allowing for a 45% increase in units per pallet. The box is opened, and one of the bags is inserted into a standard roller bucket used by painters. The bag effortlessly opens and seamlessly fits into the roller bucket, wrapping around the edges, and enabling the painter to begin work promptly. This functionality is made possible through an innovative patented design and specific plastic welding techniques.

Copenhagen Startup Weekend

We`ve been organising Startup Weekends in Copenhagen for 4 years, educating and inspiring hundreds of people to become entrepreneurs. We were lucky to see it from the first row how #CPHSW helped people get into the entrepreneur mindset and to try new challenges. We always believed that one of strongest forces were the network of people you created during those crazy weekends. This is why we created Startup Weekend Mega: The biggest Startup Weekend ever organised in Europe.  We´re an awesome group of volunteers coming from a wide variety of backgrounds. All of us have their own stories about how we ended up joining the #CPHSW family.  We are proud that we`re 100% voluntarily run organisation and that we created a culture where everybody feels safe to experiment and make their own decisions. And we`re always there to support each other outside Startup Weekends.  We think being part of the organiser family is an excellent opportunity to try out craziest ideas in your field. A playground where we can have a lot of fun and learn a ton. After years of experimentation now we`re organising our biggest event, Startup Weekend Mega, and we would like to involve new people on this journey. If this makes you excited then please feel free to reach out copenhagen@startupweekend.org  or directly at the job posts. Fun guaranteed!;)
