01.01 Décrivez votre startup en détail

Recyklable is a startup dedicated to addressing environmental sustainability through an innovative approach that combines advocacy and action. Our primary focus is on collecting the three most significant waste types—paper, food waste, and plastics—from households, businesses, and institutions. We act as an intermediary between waste generators and recycling companies, providing financial incentives to encourage proper waste segregation. By collecting and sorting waste at the source, we ensure that these materials are efficiently recycled, reducing environmental pollution and resource depletion. Our model not only promotes sustainability but also empowers underserved communities economically. In the future, we aim to establish our recycling facilities to further enhance our impact and create a circular economy.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

Recyklable addresses the pressing issue of improper waste management, focusing on paper, food waste, and plastics, which are major contributors to global pollution and environmental degradation. Many communities, particularly underserved ones, lack the infrastructure and economic incentives to manage waste effectively. This leads to significant amounts of waste ending up in landfills, causing pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and resource wastage. By acting as an intermediary, Recyklable aims to solve this problem by ensuring proper waste segregation and recycling, reducing environmental impact, and providing financial incentives to waste generators, thereby fostering a culture of sustainability and economic empowerment.
