Lowie Vercraeye is one of the three founders of BRAUZZ., a company in revolutionary plastic-free cleaning products. With his financial expertise, he contributed considerably to several successful funding rounds. Lowie’s greatest passion is innovation, monitoring and responding to the latest trends. After a Master’s degree in Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Antwerp Management School, he decided to pursue his dream, together with fellow students Manush Barvar and Ruben Renaer: creating real impact by bringing innovative products to the market.
The story of BRAUZZ. began with the observation that plastic is a huge societal problem. Less than 9% of the plastic that is produced worldwide gets recycled. The remaining 91% is burnt or ends up in landfills and in nature. Scientists expect the oceans to contain more plastic than fish by 2050… BRAUZZ. is eliminating single-use plastic in the cleaning industry. During the keynote, you will find out how BRAUZZ. arrived at a solution to an immense societal problem. BRAUZZ. is one of the leading examples in addressing this ecological challenge, from the design to the final product, in an e-commerce-only environment.
