RiverRecycle

RiverRecycle, established in 2019, is a Finnish startup focused on combating plastic pollution in rivers through innovative waste management solutions. Its proprietary river debris concentrator technologies, including static booms and automated wheels, collect floating plastic waste, preventing it from reaching oceans. The company processes collected waste through mechanical and chemical recycling, producing RiverRecycle Boards and raw materials like oil for industrial use. Operating in countries like India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Ghana, RiverRecycle has collected over four million kilograms of waste, with a capacity of 80 metric tonnes monthly. It collaborates with local communities to create jobs and supports circular economy principles, aligning with global sustainability goals. Notable partnerships include the Asian Development Bank and HCL Foundation, with recognition from awards like the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe.
