Digital solution for waste management companies and municipalities

About

Recycle is a digital platform that enables efficient, transparent, and inclusive recycling services by connecting households, condominiums, and small businesses with certified recycling and waste collection partners.

Our solution consists of a mobile and web application that allows users to:

  • Schedule pickups of sorted recyclables (paper, plastic, glass, metals, etc.) on-demand or on a recurring basis;

  • Track collection status and get digital confirmation that waste was delivered to a certified processor;

  • Receive compensation for valuable secondary raw materials (e.g. cardboard, PET bottles, scrap metal) via integrated payment systems;

  • Access educational content on proper waste sorting and the environmental impact of recycling.

On the supply side, Recycle offers recycling companies and logistics partners:

  • A dashboard to view available orders based on location and capacity;

  • Tools for route optimization, pricing, and digital documentation (including EPR compliance);

  • A scalable marketplace for acquiring recyclables directly from verified sources.

The platform helps formalize and digitise the currently fragmented waste value chain in Ukraine. By enabling trust, traceability, and economic incentives (procurement companies pay for the sorted waste), we motivate more individuals and businesses to participate in recycling.

Recycle creates environmental impact by diverting waste from landfills and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while generating economic value from recyclables and supporting green job creation.

Our model is designed to scale and adapt to urban and peri-urban areas, and is fully aligned with circular economy principles and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Our application can be launched as a marketplace and cover the needs of municipalities in organizing the removal of sorted waste in the region.

Also, our solution can be easily adapted as a white label solution for waste management companies to systematize and digitalize work with clients.

**What are the benefits for waste management companies from using the Recycle product:

By adopting Recycle as a white-label solution, waste management companies in Europe can unlock new revenue streams, digitize client engagement, and significantly improve operational efficiency — without investing in in-house development.**

Key benefits:

  1. New client acquisition
    Reach underserved customer segments — such as households, SMEs, and residential associations — with an intuitive digital interface tailored for small-scale pickups.

  2. Revenue from small-volume recyclables
    The platform aggregates small orders into profitable pickup routes, making low-volume collection economically viable.

  3. Optimised and intelligent logistics
    Recycle includes built-in tools for route optimisation, batching, and dynamic scheduling, allowing haulers to reduce fuel costs, increase load efficiency, and minimise empty runs.

  4. Ready-to-deploy white-label platform
    Companies receive a fully branded mobile and web app for order management, user communication, and performance tracking — all out of the box.

  5. EPR compliance & ESG reporting
    Integrated modules for Extended Producer Responsibility, traceability, and CO₂ reduction reporting help meet regulatory requirements and provide added value to B2B clients.

  6. Reputation & brand positioning
    Using Recycle enhances the company’s image as a digitally progressive and environmentally responsible service provider.

  7. Flexible localisation & integration
    The system can be adapted to local pricing models, language, legal requirements, and fleet structure — offering high configurability under the partner’s brand.
