Wrek'd Tech emerged from founder Shamoka Aiken's vision to transform electronic waste management. With 20 years of IT experience, Aiken recognized that conventional e-waste processing recovered only 70% of materials, wasting resources while polluting the environment. This inspired the Ex-Spec system concept—combining AI and robotics to achieve 97% material recovery rates. Currently in concept phase, our company began as an LLC planning to become a Public Benefit Corporation. We're now preparing to build partnerships with South Carolina academic institutions to develop our innovative technology, focusing on securing initial funding and establishing our research framework. Through this journey, we remain committed to creating sustainable value while addressing one of our era's most pressing environmental challenges.
We envision a world where e-waste becomes a valuable resource, not a burden. Wrek'd Tech aims to lead the global transition to a circular electronics economy, where every device is designed for recyclability, processed with near-perfect efficiency, and its materials fully recovered and reused.
Wrek'd Tech's mission is to revolutionize e-waste management through advanced AI and robotics, enabling a true circular economy for electronics. We strive to maximize resource recovery, minimize environmental impact, and drive innovation in product design and recycling processes.
As a Public Benefit Corporation, we prioritize environmental impact alongside financial performance, ensuring our operations contribute to a more sustainable future.
We push beyond incremental improvements to create paradigm-shifting solutions that redefine what's possible in e-waste management.
We approach challenges with a holistic, system-wide perspective to create truly sustainable solutions that support the circular economy.
We believe in fostering partnerships across industries and sectors to accelerate the transition to a zero-waste future.
... a veteran with over 20 years of IT management experience and dual degrees in Computer Science and Cyber Security, aims to revolutionize e-waste management through Wrek'd Tech and its innovative Ex-Spec system. Driven by environmental stewardship and technological advancement, Aiken envisions transforming the industry by achieving unprecedented material recovery rates compared to the current industry standard. As founder and CEO, he is establishing Wrek'd Tech as a Public Benefit Corporation to balance profit with environmental impact. His immediate focus is on securing academic partnerships, particularly with South Carolina universities, to develop the Ex-Spec system's AI and robotics capabilities. Aiken's long-term vision includes building a nationwide network of facilities and franchise operations, ultimately aiming to make traditional recycling obsolete through advanced technology and circular economy principles.
