To truly solve the crisis, we must prevent waste from being created in the first place — through reuse, redesign, and regenerative systems. That requires expertise not in theory, but in proven implementation.
Common House is a Zero Waste Studio that brings together the world’s foremost practitioners — the people who have led the most ambitious zero waste projects across continents, brands, and cities. Through our Powered By network, we transform uncertainty into clarity and ambition into measurable results.
Our mission is simple yet urgent: to make zero waste the standard, not the exception, and build resilient industries that regenerate our only common house — Earth.
We begin by mapping the opportunities and risks across products, processes, and entire systems. This includes regulatory alignment, market dynamics, environmental performance (carbon, biodiversity, waste), and stakeholder analysis. The result: a clear and actionable roadmap.
Together with our Powered By network, we design solutions across disciplines: graphic and industrial design, packaging, digital platforms, business models, and customer journeys. Every design decision is guided by zero waste principles and market competitiveness.
The hardest part is turning strategy into reality. We provide the expertise where it matters most: engineering of systems and supply chains, financial modelling and business cases, and marketing strategies that drive real adoption. We make solutions scalable and competitive.
Our Project Management Office (PMO) ensures smooth implementation. We embed governance, change management, training, and continuous improvement processes, so solutions endure beyond the pilot phase. This is how zero waste becomes embedded into the DNA of organizations.
Built by practitioners.
We are a Zero Waste Studio led by entrepreneurs who have designed, implemented, and scaled real-world zero waste models.
We help corporations eliminate waste at the source—redesigning products, packaging, and processes; aligning suppliers and customers; and rebuilding logistics for reuse. Practitioner-led with clear KPIs, we engineer compliant, economically sound systems that turn zero waste into competitive advantage.
We make zero waste operational, fast. Starting where impact is highest (events, schools, hospitals, public buildings, food systems, procurement), we run short pilots, track capture rates and cost per tonne avoided, then scale by district. With practitioner teams and vetted tech partners, we deliver visible reductions in months, a clear cost curve, and operations your staff can sustain.
We turn strategies into applied impact for foundations and NGOs, translating zero-waste visions into on-the-ground results. We pilot reuse and composting systems, build monitoring frameworks, and provide practitioner capacity so resources convert into measurable outcomes in specific communities.
Entrepreneur-led acceleration for market expansion and sales. We’re operators, not lecturers: we sharpen positioning and unit economics, craft GTM and fundraising, open enterprise pipelines, and stay to convert pilots, scale rollouts, and build disciplined sales ops, driving adoption, new geographies, and bigger deals faster.
We work with lucid optimism: clear-eyed about constraints, confident about progress. We start where change is most likely, earn wins, and expand step by step.
