Profile

Charles Rugendo

I am a Co-Founder of Hyapak, a startup that converts water hyacinth into biodegradable alternatives to single-use plastic products. I am also a Sales Analyst at L'Oréal. I have achieved several milestones, including winning the East Africa Youth for Climate Action Award. I specialize in water engineering and am passionate about developing innovative solutions to environmental challenges. My aspirations include offering sustainable solutions to the problems of water hyacinth and plastic pollution. I have also been involved in various competitions and have represented my country Kenya in international events, such as the Global Battle of Minds Challenge and the World Engineering Day hackathon.
