A digital platform offering door-to-door collection and repurposing of everyday items, facilitating recycling, reuse, and repair, promoting a circular economy and reducing waste for consumers and brands.
Recycling daily items: the challenges of proper waste disposal
ONLY 35%
of non-traditional waste is recycled
In Europe, over 30 million tons of valuable household items (textiles, electronics, books, toys) are discarded annually, most of which end up in incineration or landfills. Only 38% of textiles and less than 20% of small electronics are reused or recycled.
This is largely due to the lack of accessible and convenient collection services, and inefficient sorting practices. Municipal and producer-led schemes often fail to engage users and ensure quality circular flows.
Revolutionizing AI-Driven Door-to-Door Upcycling and Smart Waste Sorting
Byewaste's platform enables smart, door-to-door pick-up of reusable and recyclable items, combining citizen-facing apps with AI-powered sorting and logistics optimization for circular collection partners.
With over 70% of collected items reintroduced into the reuse and recycling chain, the platform enhances traceability and sorting accuracy. In pilot cities, return rates increased by 40% and collection costs dropped by 15–30% compared to legacy systems.
