About Us
At Ikonomo, we turn industrial environmental liabilities into social assets through our circular economy model, Ikonomics.
Launching officially in January, we provide UK businesses with free industrial waste disposal for life, intercepting recyclable plastic and commercial waste streams. Reclaimed materials are re-engineered into carbon-neutral products and raw feedstock for the IKO-85—a British-built, eco-friendly modular housing system designed to prevent homelessness.
