cleanSpot

cleanSpot is a platform that addresses the pressing issue of recycling and waste management. With a focus on increasing recycling rates and reducing landfill usage, cleanSpot offers a comprehensive solution. It provides an app that identifies recycling spots, while also offering alerts and information services. One of the significant features of cleanSpot is its incentivization of recycling through reward points that can be redeemed for discounts on municipal taxes or local stores. The company's approach aligns with the EU's aim to recycle 65% of waste and limit landfill to 10% of municipal waste by 2030. Founded in 2020, cleanSpot aims to encourage recycling and reuse, combat climate change, contribute to the Circular Economy, and support local businesses, in line with the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals 11, 12, and 13. This innovative solution not only tackles environmental challenges but also addresses the concerns of individuals who hesitate to recycle, which costs around €125M annually. At a time when efficient waste management is a growing concern, cleanSpot's proposal for a municipal waste management scheme with discounts for recycling is particularly timely. This approach is likely to be embraced by entities focusing on the Circular Economy and Second Hand markets.
