Marty Metro

Keynote Speaker: Founder & CEO of UsedCardboardBoxes and UCBZeroWaste

Marty Metro Biography

Marty Metro is an eco-entrepreneur and successful CEO who has not only founded successful businesses, but also motivates and educates audiences through his engaging presentations. He came into prominence with his eco-friendly retail chain, Boomerang Boxes, which dealt in buying and selling used moving boxes. While his early attempts saw setbacks, Metro's resilience and entrepreneurial drive helped him refine his business model and eventually find success.

Known for his inspiring talks on recycling and sustainability, Metro has been a sought-after speaker at events organized by prominent organizations such as Walmart and the Los Angeles Venture Association. His speaking engagements are highly praised for their motivational and educational content, demonstrating that environmental initiatives can be profitable when implemented properly. His concept of "Sustainable Sustainability" showcases his passion for thinking about and implementing sustainable programs.

Despite initial challenges with Boomerang Boxes, Metro managed to salvage the situation by leveraging his knowledge of SAP as a technology consultant. His relentless entrepreneurial drive led him to revise the business plan, raise capital, and relaunch a scalable, tech-centric model to buy and sell millions of used boxes, giving birth to UsedCardboardBoxes. This reuse logistics firm now works with some of the country's largest and most recognized companies.

Recognizing the potential in waste management, Metro expanded his venture to include UCBZeroWaste, a waste reduction firm that helps clients manage all commodities, vendors, logistics, invoicing, and reporting. The company utilizes a proprietary software called WATER - Waste Analytics & Tracking for Environmental Reporting - and counts among its clients some of the most recognizable brands in the country, including McCormick Spices.

Metro inspires and motivates people through his speaking engagements, sharing his experiences and insights on sustainability and recycling, offering audiences the chance to learn from his innovative thinking and entrepreneurial journey.

Business is as Easy as 1, 2, 3. Yeah, RIGHT!

Components of a successful startup are: Idea, Execution, Profit and Cash Flow. If you can’t generate cash, don’t waste your time on the first three!

Times are Changin’, Are you Getting’ Yours?

People, businesses, organizations and the environment are in constant change. Change creates opportunity, but only if you look for it AND act on it!

Why "Green Businesses" Fail (but businesses that go green, THRIVE!)

After failing at the first attempt, innovation and determination led the second attempt to become a multi-million dollar, green niche. Looking back, there are at least 10 things NOT to do.
