Our Story

About HaPPE Earth

An Irish cleantech startup on a mission to end the single-use plastic PPE crisis — one compostable product at a time.

Our Mission

HaPPE Earth is an Irish cleantech startup solving the PPE waste crisis with compostable products and circular economy technology. Every 15 minutes, 300,000 single-use PPE items become plastic waste — ending up in landfills, oceans, and ecosystems where they persist for centuries.

We founded HaPPE Earth to eliminate this problem at the source. Our patented bio-resin PPE performs identically to traditional plastic alternatives but breaks down in weeks through industrial composting. Paired with our digital platform, organisations can track every item from dispatch to decomposition — turning waste into verifiable environmental impact.
