[ 03 ] ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW
About RiverRecycle
Founded in Helsinki in 2019 by entrepreneur Anssi Mikola, RiverRecycle operates systems designed to remove litter from waterways, convert collected waste into valuable raw materials, and reinvest value back into local economies.
The organization’s model combines environmental action, community coordination, and practical implementation, making field documentation especially important for visibility, reporting, and stakeholder communication.
Project Exposure
One of the notable initiatives connected to my internship was the ADB Pasig River Digital Twin project, which applies digital twin technology to support data-driven responses to plastic pollution.
Key Context
This exposure gave me a stronger understanding of how field operations connect with broader environmental systems, reporting workflows, and long-term urban sustainability efforts.
