Our history · 2020

In 2020, we opened a recycling collection center

We believed our job was simply to collect waste and make sure it was recycled. But the day we opened our doors, we realized the real problem started there. Thousands of people arrived every month carrying recyclable materials, and suddenly the responsibility was ours.

What is this material worth? Who buys it? Who pays for it? How can we prove it was recycled?

Instead of finding a recycling industry, we found a fragmented value chain built on informal processes, disconnected actors, and almost no reliable data.

This wasn't a recycling problem. It was an infrastructure problem.

The problem

A circular economy that runs on disconnected parts

Recycling, collection and green finance operate as separate, analog silos, a $443B ecosystem leaking value at every handoff.

15M+
Collectors · informal & invisible

Informal waste pickers work in cash, no history, no credit, no way to prove what they move.

$35/ton
Acopio centers · manual & blind

Lost to inefficient handling. Reception, weighing and payment run on notebooks, no live stock, no valuation, no data.

0%
Industry & brands · starved of supply

Verifiable recycled content. Opaque analog chains put ESG and compliance goals at risk, so buyers fall back on virgin inputs.

Value leaks at every handoff. Nobody owns the loop.

The Reaquila flywheel

Three layers, one connective loop

Three product layers form the loop, and one connective layer settles value across all of them.

Instant payout

Collectors paid straight to their wallet.

Subscriptions

Recurring recolecciones for homes & businesses.

Tracked kilos

Every kg logged, scored and rewarded.

Layer 02 · Process

The ERP for acopio centers

Reception, weighing, payment and stock, one operating system for every center and node. Where paper notebooks become structured, real-time data.

Guided reception

Identify → materials → weigh → pay → confirm, in five steps.

Live stock & value

Tonnage and inventory valuation update in real time.

Sell in two clicks

Push graded stock straight into the marketplace.

Layer 03 · Trade

A marketplace for recycled material

Processed material becomes a tradable, traceable asset, sold by grade, with logistics handled, across borders.

Graded catalog

Material classified by type and grade, priced per kilo.

Coordinated logistics

Pickup and delivery arranged inside the platform.

Real traceability

Every batch traced from collector to buyer.

Cross-border

Argentina, Chile and México on one catalog.

The connective layer

A Mastercard wallet that moves value across the loop

Money that used to leave the system in cash now stays inside it, settled, spendable and measurable.

Instant payouts, collectors get paid to card on reception.

Working capital, centers finance operations against real stock.

On-platform value, every transaction becomes data and margin.

Competition

To actually fix recycling you need to run the whole chain, not one link of it

01 COLLECT

Households and collectors need a way to move material from the street to a center, and get paid for it.

Collection apps
Cooperative networks
Municipal programs
02 PROCESS

Acopio centers need to run reception, weighing, stock and payouts without paper and cash.

Generic ERPs
Spreadsheets
Scale software
03 TRADE

Industry needs graded material, logistics and traceability to buy recycled at scale.

B2B scrap marketplaces
Brokers & traders
ESG / traceability tools
04 SETTLE

And all of it needs money that actually moves, instantly, to informal actors.

Reaquila runs all four. Every competitor owns one link. We own the whole loop, so the material, the data and the money never leave the platform.
Team

Operators, not tourists. Backed to scale.

We started in 2020 with one collection center and two bikes, and learned this industry from the scale up. Today six people and fourteen AI agents run a business at +$1.5M ARR while digitizing the entire recycling value chain, collection, processing, trade and payments.

Selected by 10+ international programs across LatAm, the US and Europe, that track record as founders gives us direct access to the leading voices in recycling and circular economy worldwide.
