ekō Solutions Fireside Chat Series: Meet Kirk Taylor President and Co-founder of Land Betterment
ekō Solutions is not recycling just to recycle
Inventing mechanisms that are sustainable and functional
Hello – I’m Stephanie Conzelman, Stakeholder Engagement Director with Land Betterment. We are excited to share the sixth and final interview in the six-part series titled, “Meet the ekō Solutions Management Team.”
In the previous five episodes, we had the opportunity to get to know the senior members of the ekō Solutions team who are driving ekō forward every day.
Recently, I met with Kirk Taylor, President and Co-founder of Land Betterment, the parent company of ekō Solutions. Kirk and I spoke about Land Betterment’s mission of uplifting communities through positive solutions and the vital role that ekō plays in providing sustainable and safe housing which is delivered in a meaningful, quick, and reliable fashion.
We also had the opportunity to speak about the other pillars of ekō Solutions – commercial, crisis recovery, recreational and farming. Kirk is particularly proud of the robust team. He said, “They are agile and able to create just about anything out of the “double recycled” shipping containers. Just throw an idea their way and they are sure to meet and exceed expectations.”
Kirk mentioned some examples of how our ekō Solutions “double recycled” containers are deployed:
- Housing at sporting events
- Short-term and long-term housing
- Airbnb rentals at campgrounds
- Moveable event spaces at festivals
- Temporary housing for victims of disasters
- Container based agriculture
- Mobile dog grooming
- In the field laboratory and research facilities
- Mobile and permanent restrooms
- Mobile and temporary offices
