About the Company

Reconomy

Tech-enabled circular economy solutions provider

Reconomy helps businesses create circular economy loops by combining tech-enabled tools with skilled people to manage resources, reduce waste, and optimize supply chains. Its approach uses digital tracking of materials and waste, paired with on-the-ground services to design and operate reuse, recycling, and remanufacturing loops. It differentiates itself through a mix of software and hands-on service, international experience, and a focus on practical, end-to-end circular solutions rather than generic waste services. The goal is to close material loops, lower costs, reduce emissions, and advance wider adoption of the circular economy.
