Bekia raises seed funding to launch its B2B recycling software
The platform turns household waste pickups into traceable records that can connect collectors with factories and corporate buyers.
Recording the flow of recyclable materials
Bekia’s consumer app lets households book a pickup, after which a collector weighs and grades the materials and records the payment. The transaction history gives collectors a digital record and helps businesses verify where recyclable supply came from.
A software product for corporate buyers
The company plans to introduce Bekia Next, a subscription product that converts collection data into verified carbon-avoidance certificates for corporate clients. That reporting layer could help businesses document what happens to their waste as disclosure requirements tighten.
