Did you know that wild boar (known as aper 🐗 in Latin) is famously known as an Easter season animal?

For spring we go green! We're proud to announce our investment in Maas Loop together with AIP Seed, Aleksander Szalecki, ASP Capital. 📌 This recycling hardware startup has secured an investment.  It was no brainer with the regulations in recycling implemented in Poland and green investments booming, we were happy to lead the round. Maas Loop could crush up to 60 glass bottles, 130 plastic bottles or 260 metal cans crashed at once. The Guinness World Record is 108 cans, we’re just saying... Congratulations to the entire team at Maas Loop - Paweł Ciesielski Szczepan Wantusiak, Łukasz Święch. Thanks to Darek Żuk, Karolina Bujalska, Aleksander Szalecki, Szymon Syp, Katarzyna Bąkowska!
