We bring every item back into circularity! Humble does this by working with companies to handle their inventory that would otherwise end up in landfills. We sell the high value items on Thrift by Humble, our own circular living e-commerce store, while everything else goes to our network of B2B recyclers, resellers and upcyclers.

We've been successfully doing this with some of the top brands, e-commerce and logistics companies in the country!

If you have items to sell or you're interested in buying quality and affordable products, please reach out to us.

Our ‘reason’ is to build a platform and community where anything can be brought back into circularity by anyone!

Philippines - Metro Manila

I am an extremely passionate individual, inspired whenever innovation meets impact.

At the start of 2018, I joined as managing director of Penbrothers. I was very lucky to lead a team of 180 wonderful people who were all striving to provide outstanding employment opportunities to Filipinos. We graduated from the 500 startups Series A Global Launch Program in 2020 and made the top 10 growth companies in 2021.

Then in 2020, together with my co-founder, we launched our own startup, Humble Sustainability. Our dream is to create a platform and community where circular living is the new normal for everyone. Humble won the IdeaSpace Accelerator Program in January 2021.

I'm not particularly good at any of these things, but I surround myself with incredible people who do amazing things!

On a more personal note, I'm vegan, a fitness fanatic and adore nature! I strongly believe in building cultures of big dreams, kindness, empowerment and radical transparency.
