Recyda fights the flood of packaging waste with software and data by building the most advanced tool for recyclability assessment for consumer-goods packaging. The solution is tackling the industry’s challenge of having more packaging recycled. Companies along the value chain are facing public, legal and financial pressure to meet recyclabilitygoals. However, country-specific information on legislation and infrastructure (including collection, sorting and recycling systems) is mostly not available. Recyda is centralizing this information and providing it in a tool that makes recyclability assessments of packaging on an international level possible.
