Cognose Solvere, SM(MIT), MBA(Law) founder of CtS Cognoscere tenus Solvere. The mission is to provide solutions for Post Industrialization Era.

He publishes alternately between Philosophy and Technologies. His fifth book was poems “Wings of Light.” It was sent to world leaders by Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad. It is displayed by Habib Hassan Alatas at the Secretariat, Inter Religions Organization. More than 50 persons from more than 9 nations performed “Wings” in English, Chinese and Spanish at the Old Parliamentary Chamber of Singapore. National Library of Singapore created new classifications, “Cognose Philosophy,” “Solvere Philosophy” after receiving his work from Mr S R Nathan, the 6th President of Singapore.
His advisory company, CtS Cognoscere tenus Solvere, developed a method to fully reuse various waste thermoplastics. A polymer like amber encapsulates itself onto the waste plastics and transforms them into products like slabs, rods and paper corrugated board and wood substitutes. These materials can then be used in finished products like shipping boxes and furniture. Alongside Tungray, a multinational automatic warehouse equipment manufacturer, Solvere plans on building equipment at the domestic and industrial scale that will process waste plastic and transform them into these products. If implemented at a wide scale, this technology shows promise in reducing waste plastics from containers and shipping parcels, reduce deforestation, and even create jobs in poor countries. The talk will be followed by a question-and-answer session as well as option to connect with Solvere.
