RÉCIR
Circular economy operating system for recycling, reclaimers, SMEs, and ESG value.
The product story behind the prototype or platform.
RÉCIR grew from looking at waste not simply as a disposal problem, but as a system of people, materials, buyers, businesses and value that can be better connected.
Waste moves through a network of reclaimers, collectors, buy-back centres, recyclers, businesses and organisations. The opportunity is not only to move material, but to make relationships, requests and value flows easier to coordinate.
What would a digital layer for the circular economy look like if it connected the people and organisations already participating in the system?
The problem
Recycling activity can be fragmented across informal reclaimers, collectors, recyclers, businesses and organisations, making value and participation difficult to coordinate.
The product
A digital circular-economy platform designed to connect stakeholders, coordinate activity and make waste flows more visible.
Who it is for
Corporates, NGOs, SMEs, recyclers, buy-back centres and waste pickers.
What we're testing
We are testing how requests, bids, donations, collection activity, assets and material flows could be coordinated without losing sight of the people working within the system.
