Recovo is a B2B platform located in Spain which specialises in selling on deadstock fabric which would otherwise be classified as textile waste.
The platform helps EU-based brands and suppliers to give a second life to unused fabric. This reduces the amount of resources needed to meet buyers' needs and cuts down on waste.
Recovo uploads photos and information on fabric remnants put up for sale by producers which can then earn money from products rather than paying for waste disposal. Buyers can order samples, then buy as much of the fabric as they want which is delivered straight to them. Recovo ships within the EU, and most vendors are located in Europe, specifically Spain and Portugal.
A user-friendly platform promoting circularity and combating waste!
While digital networking is of great advantage for everyday life, the incredible amounts of electrical devices bring with it some particularly ecological risks, especially with regard to the use of resources. This is why the European Commission in the New Circular Economy Action Plan announced a Circular Electronics Initiative. There are still many challenges to be discussed during this workshop.
Blue Room Innovation has developed a solution for some of the challenges facing ports: CIRCULARPORT. This blockchain-powered waste management solution makes ports greener and more efficient. A WastePassport has also been developed that connects waste disposed in port reception facilities to treatment plants.
RECICLOS provides incentives for recycling cans and plastic beverage bottles. When people recycle using the app, they receive points that can be used to try to win prizes or given to local projects.
