RECOTECH (Accelerator)

Company Description: Founded in 2007, Recotech. Co. is a company based in Tokyo that strives to turn waste into value by using technology. While consulting companies and local governments on managing waste sustainably, Recotech. Co. provides total waste stream solutions combining hard and soft approaches. With our expertise in waste/resource stream design and management, we aspire to drive the transition toward a Circular Economy in Japan and Southeast Asia. We have developed a waste visualization system “Material Pool System (MPS)” along with “GOMiCO,” a web application, to register waste data onto the cloud. MPS is a platform service that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions massively while preserving valuable materials in circulation by optimising collection and recycling efficiency. Also, by enabling large manufacturers to incorporate PCR materials into their procurement portfolio, MPS helps reduce the extraction of natural resources. The web app “GOMiCO” calculates the volume of CO2 emitted when MPS is used, compares it to usual practices, and gives monthly feedback. MPS was developed based on our expertise in waste management machines, soft solutions in sustainable waste management and recycling business models in Japan.
