Senior Accountant

"Be the catalyst that drives real change for our planet."

Samsara Eco has one clear mission: to repair our planet through infinite plastic recycling. Yes, it’s a mighty mission but it’s something every single one of us here at Samsara Eco is determined to achieve. And it’s what motivates us to dedicate our time and energy to every single day.

Who we are...

We’re a climate tech innovator repairing our planet through infinite recycling.
