Chris Stapleton and his Connecticut based businesses do not seem to have much in common, but for one common thread - the environment. This is the only way you can really make a connection between waste and solar, but this green entrepreneur obviously has a better world in mind when he founds a start up.
There is little that is sexy about waste, but it plays a huge part of our lives. It is a silent role though, with rubbish disappearing and never to be seen again. No one really even seems to worry about what happens with all the industrial waste that we produce with every growing progress all around us. Chris Stapleton of Connecticut did though, leading him to start to first company dealing with recycling asphalt and concrete in the state.
With his waste company sold and transitioned to a national firm, the green entrepreneur looked for his next venture, and found it in solar panels. “First I was interested in the tech. Then I followed the money,” he told Patch.com. This is how most businesses start, people with interest in passion in innovation who manage to fit it into a profitable plan.
Chris Stapleton and his Connecticut businesses follow a model like this: passion followed by money. Each very different sectors, but both with a focus on making the way we live as a society better, lowering both waste and pollution, as well as laying the foundations of a better tomorrow.
