Problem
In many cities, recyclable materials are not efficiently recovered, and informal waste pickers—who depend on collecting and selling these materials—often work under precarious conditions with limited recognition or support. This fragmented system results in significant material waste, missed environmental and economic opportunities, and perpetuates social inequality for recycling workers.
Solution
ReciVeci provides a technology-enabled platform that connects all stakeholders in the waste management chain, fostering inclusive recycling and the circular economy. Through its mobile app ReciApp®, citizens can connect directly with waste pickers, learning to separate their waste and enabling these workers to collect materials more efficiently and with greater dignity. For businesses, ReciVeci offers corporate services including event waste recovery, sustainable office recycling systems, and returnability campaigns, all designed to reduce CO2 footprints, meet ESG goals, and position brands as socially and environmentally responsible. The company also implements community projects that strengthen the work of informal recyclers and promote community-based circular economy initiatives.
