The idea of founding a company together to reduce the vast amounts of single-use plastic came up at a family dinner. Luca told Alex about his problem, which came up every time he commuted to university: If Luca wanted a drink other than water along the way, he couldn't avoid buying a PET bottle even though he had his reusable bottle with him. Shortly after, Alex traveled to Ghana and recognized the full extent of the problem during a beach cleanup. Back in Switzerland, he was full of energy to be able to counteract unnecessary plastic consumption. Together, we started the 'Wonderfill' project and built our first prototype. Test customers quickly realized that we were not the only ones who wanted to break new ground and rely on circular solutions in the future.
We are a startup from Zurich, which was founded by the two cousins Alexander and Luca.
Alexander, a recycling fan and sparkling water enthusiast, has a master's degree in business administration and teaches himself how to program in his spare time — always with a sparkling glass of water in his hand, of course!
As a former professional swimmer, Luca has already soared through water for Switzerland. With a BSc. in mechanical engineering in his pocket, he is now in the final stages of his master's degree with a focus on energy & environment.
For Florencia, taste and innovation are inextricably linked — grown up in a bakery and equipped with a Master in Innovation & Entrepreneurship, she drives strategic projects forward with precision and creativity.
Michelle completed a bachelor's degree in design at ZHdK and has a background in education. She is Wonderfill's creative force and provides the visual identity of the brand.
