TrashBusters is the first company in Korea—and globally—to offer a comprehensive reusable container circulation and cleaning solution, designed to address the root problem of single-use waste.
We serve over 150 clients across Korea—including cafés, franchise chains, festivals, and corporate cafeterias—by providing reusable containers and managing the entire lifecycle. After use, containers are collected, hygienically washed using high-temperature, high-pressure automated systems with UV sterilization, and redistributed for reuse.
But this is more than just washing.
Our solution covers the full operational cycle: cleaning facilities, logistics, operations, quality control, and collection infrastructure. It’s an end-to-end, closed-loop system unlike any other in the world.
At TrashBusters, we reject the idea that eco-friendly means inconvenient.
Instead, we aim to build systems that are more convenient and efficient than disposables. Through this, we’re proving that a sustainable, tech-driven circular economy model can truly work—setting a new standard for reusables in Korea and beyond.
Key Achievements:
✅ Developed and commercialized the world’s first automated reusable container cleaning system
✅ Over 150 subscription-based B2B clients across industries
✅ Company valuation exceeding KRW 30 billion (~USD 22 million)
✅ Raised over KRW 10 billion in funding (Series A)
✅ Over 90 million reusable containers circulated
We are proudly backed by leading investment firms such as Hana Securities, Strong Ventures, Laguna Investment, Fast Ventures, and Base Investment.
Moving forward, TrashBusters will continue to lead the global transition to a reusable circular economy—driven by scalable technology and true sustainability.
