AI-powered platform for take-back, refurbishment, branded resale

About

We are developing a digital platform that enables manufacturers and retailers to create profitable circular business models through take-back, refurbishment, and branded resale. The platform will leverage AI-based decision support and automations, use data ecosystems with API integration, and provide information for Digital Product Passports (DPP).

We are looking for partners with durable, high-quality products who want to pilot circular models to build customer loyalty, capture value from second-life markets, and reduce emissions. Ideally, partners have first experience with circularity or DPP.

Industries: textiles, kids, electronics, furniture, and machinery
