RecyConnect is a smart digital platform that connects companies with leftover materials and surplus to recyclers, upcyclers, NGOs, and creators. Our mission is to turn industrial waste into opportunity, enabling a circular economy through AI-powered matchmaking and real-time coordination.
Every year, Algeria generates 13.5 million tons of waste.
- Only 7% is recycled — the rest ends up in landfills or pollutes the environment.
- Valuable leftover materials are wasted due to lack of coordination and reuse networks.
- Businesses face high disposal costs and limited access to sustainable waste channels.
RecyConnect is designed to solve this by:
- Connecting businesses with recyclers, upcyclers, NGOs, and creators.
- Enabling waste from one company to become raw material for another.
- Using AI to recommend reuse partners and optimize coordination.
- Providing dashboards to track impact and progress.
