About
Recycllux is a Marine Plastic Cleanup-as-a-Service platform that bridges corporate sustainability goals with on-the-ground environmental action. The platform addresses the 12 million tons of marine plastic leaked annually by providing a full-stack solution: AI-powered detection of plastic hotspots via satellite Earth Observation, Uber-like matching of cleanup capacity (fishing vessels, coastal NGOs, local recyclers), blockchain-based traceability of every cleanup action, and visual ESG dashboards for regulatory-aligned impact reporting. Rather than owning ships or recycling facilities, Recycllux acts as the software layer orchestrating the entire chain. Companies can fund verified cleanups, generate ocean-bound plastic offset credits, and meet Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance requirements. Coastal communities earn income from cleanup work using existing tools and vessels, creating circular local value chains with up to 46x lower carbon footprint compared to conventional methods. The platform is built for corporate stakeholders needing traceable sustainability claims, government authorities requiring data-driven intervention tools, and collectors and recyclers seeking fair compensation. Recycllux has been recognized by Women TechEU and is actively onboarding partners across Europe and beyond.
Key Features
- AI + Satellite Plastic Detection: Identifies marine plastic hotspots using artificial intelligence combined with satellite Earth Observation and in-situ validation for on-demand detection reports.
- Blockchain-Based Traceability: Every cleanup action—from collection to recycling—is logged on blockchain, providing tamper-proof, audit-ready proof of environmental impact.
- Local Cleanup Network Orchestration: Matches corporate cleanup funding with existing local capacity (fishing vessels, NGOs, recyclers) via an Uber-like dispatch logic through the Recycllux portal.
- ESG Impact Reporting & Plastic Offset Credits: Generates visual dashboards, custom sustainability reports, and ocean-bound plastic offset credits to support EPR compliance and plastic neutrality claims.
- Circular Local Value Chains: Embeds cleanup revenue into coastal economies, paying collectors and recyclers while achieving up to 46x lower carbon footprint than conventional approaches.
Use Cases
- A consumer goods corporation funds verified marine plastic cleanups to offset its plastic footprint and meet EPR regulatory requirements in the EU.
- A sustainability manager uses Recycllux dashboards to generate audit-ready ESG reports demonstrating plastic neutrality to investors and regulators.
- A coastal fishing community earns supplemental income by participating in organized cleanup missions coordinated through the Recycllux portal.
- A government coastal authority uses AI-powered hotspot detection reports to prioritize and allocate cleanup interventions efficiently.
- A brand combating greenwashing accusations uses blockchain-traced plastic offset credits from Recycllux to substantiate verified environmental claims in marketing.
Pros
- End-to-end traceability: Blockchain logging from detection to certification eliminates greenwashing risk and supports regulatory audits with verifiable data.
- Asset-light, scalable model: By acting as a software orchestration layer rather than owning vessels or facilities, Recycllux can scale globally without heavy capital investment.
- Dual impact: environmental and social: Simultaneously cleans marine ecosystems and generates income for coastal communities, strengthening the social ROI of corporate sustainability spending.
Cons
- Enterprise-only pricing model: The platform requires a sales call to access, making it inaccessible for small businesses or individual actors without a dedicated sustainability budget.
- Geographic coverage limitations: Network effectiveness depends on the density of local partners (vessels, NGOs, recyclers) in a given region, which may be limited in emerging markets.
- Early-stage traction: As a startup, the platform's long-term certification standards and offset credit recognition may still be evolving relative to established carbon credit frameworks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Recycllux detect marine plastic pollution?
Recycllux uses a combination of AI models, satellite Earth Observation imagery, and in-situ validation to identify and map marine plastic hotspots. Companies can request on-demand detection reports for specific geographies.
Who carries out the actual cleanups?
Cleanups are executed by local partners—fishing vessels, coastal NGOs, and recyclers—who are matched and dispatched through the Recycllux portal using an Uber-like orchestration model. Recycllux does not own ships or recycling facilities.
How is the impact verified and certified?
Every step of the cleanup chain is logged via blockchain, creating an immutable, traceable record. This data feeds into audit-ready impact metrics, ESG reports, and ocean-bound plastic offset credits.
Can Recycllux help with EPR compliance?
Yes. The platform is designed to support Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance, plastic neutrality commitments, and sustainability reporting by providing traceable, certified cleanup actions and regulatory-aligned documentation.
How do I get started with Recycllux?
Interested companies can book a call through the Recycllux website to receive a custom cleanup proposal tailored to their sustainability goals and plastic footprint profile.
