How it works

From waste to verified impact, one connected process.

01

Trace

Every kilogram is logged at the point of collection, weighed, photographed, and recorded.

02

Connect

Collectors, aggregators, recyclers and producers link up, M-Pesa pays out the moment a transaction confirms.

03

Verify

Each transaction is anchored to the Stellar blockchain as a RECO token, tamper-proof and auditable.

04

Measure

Real-time dashboards show kilograms collected, payouts made, and tokens minted, live impact data.

Built for Kenya's circular economy

We're formalizing, digitizing, and verifying Kenya's waste sector, turning informal, invisible work into recognized, rewarded, and provable impact.

01

Our Mission

A transparent, inclusive system where every collector is recognized, every kilogram counted, every payment instant, and every impact verified.

02

The Problem

Millions of informal waste pickers work with no formal records, no reliable payment, and no proof of impact, while recyclers lack supply-chain visibility.

03

Our Vision

A Kenya where every recycled product carries a verified story, and circular-economy data drives real investment and policy.
