SuperPenguin offers a dual-benefit platform: empowering clinicians with tools for effective therapy management and providing families with personalised, engaging home-based support. This enhances therapy outcomes and operational efficiency. Existing digital therapeutic solutions have yet to achieve broad adoption in the speech therapy market. Our proprietary technology allows for rapid content development and seamless integration of client-specific requirements. In other words, we can accommodate any condition, content requirement, or feature a clinic might need, all under one roof.

CLUBZERØ is the leading Reuse Deposit Return Platform driving economic development and impact for governments, asset managers and brands worldwide through scalable technology, returnable packaging and infrastructure unlocking zero waste. As businesses face increasing pressure to comply with tightening regulations like EPR, plastic bans, net-zero goals and rising packaging taxes, our platform offers immediate cost savings and regulatory compliance in one integrated platform—transforming environmental responsibility from a burden into a competitive advantage. With 141 million tonnes of plastic packaging produced annually and only 9% successfully recycled, the majority ends up in landfills, oceans, or destroys habitats. Our comprehensive approach encompasses the entire zero-waste ecosystem: smart returnable packaging, strategically placed collection infrastructure, efficient logistics, washing facilities, and redistribution services. This full-service model achieves up to 93% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to single-use alternatives (verified by a Life Cycle Assessment) while generating valuable data that satisfies increasingly stringent reporting requirements. What distinguishes CLUBZERØ is our proprietary SaaS technology that transforms packaging into a tracked multi-use asset. Each container carries a unique identifier enabling complete lifecycle visibility and generating actionable consumer and environmental insights. This data empowers businesses to demonstrate regulatory compliance while optimizing their operations for sustainability and cost-efficiency. Since launching, our award-winning system has eliminated over 2.6 million single-use items from landfill and prevented 39 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.
