What eureciclo does

Eureciclo (legal name: Eu Reciclo) is a Brazilian reverse logistics certification company founded in 2015 and headquartered in São Paulo that connects consumer goods brands with a network of 315+ homologated cooperatives and operators to certify that packaging waste is properly recycled in compliance with Brazilian environmental legislation (logística reversa de embalagens). The company's core products are the Selo eureciclo certification mark — offered in three tiers (Selo 200%, Selo 100%, Selo Original) based on the volume of recycled material relative to packaging sold — and the Certificado de Crédito de Reciclagem (Recycling Credit Certificate), which proves proper disposal of packaging equivalents and enables brands to display the seal. Supporting offerings include Embalagens Sustentáveis (post-consumer recycled material sold back to brands for packaging use) and Projetos Especiais (customized waste management and chain-structuring services), with Instituto Giro operating as a social and environmental impact division. Underlying technology comprises a certification and verification platform managing partner homologation, certificate issuance, impact tracking (2.18 million tons of waste properly disposed, 4.3 million tons of CO2 avoided), and the eureciclo seal trademark, distributed through both a self-serve e-commerce checkout portal for SMB customers and a dedicated client portal plus direct sales team for enterprise accounts. The business model combines recurring certification/seal subscriptions, transaction fees on recycled material sales, and professional services revenue, serving a horizontal customer segment of any brand selling packaged products in Brazil that requires regulatory compliance and credible sustainability credentials — 7,000+ brands currently participate in the community.

Direct peers

• Cataki: Brazilian platform that connects waste-picker cooperatives with companies and municipalities seeking to source recyclable materials. Highly comparable to Eureciclo because it operates on the same Brazilian reverse-logistics rails, serves a similar cooperative/operator network, and is increasingly used by brands to demonstrate packaging recycling compliance.
• BVRio: Brazil-based not-for-profit that issues reverse-logistics and recycling credits for packaging and other waste streams. Closely comparable to Eureciclo because both monetize verifiable recycling credits sold to brands as proof of compliance with Brazilian reverse-logistics law, competing for the same set of consumer-goods clients.
• rePurpose Global: Global plastic-action platform that sells plastic-recovery credits to brands for use in sustainability claims and ESG reporting. Directly comparable to Eureciclo's Crédito de Reciclagem model: both sell verified credits tied to actual recycling or recovery activity, primarily to packaged-goods brands seeking to substantiate plastic circularity commitments.
• Plastic Bank: Social enterprise that operates a network of collection points in coastal communities and sells verified plastic-recovery credits to consumer-goods companies. Comparable to Eureciclo because it monetizes a homologated collection network into recycling credits that brands purchase for ESG and packaging-compliance positioning.
• Recyclix: International recycling-credit marketplace that lets individuals and businesses fund waste recovery in exchange for certificates. Comparable to Eureciclo in its core mechanic — selling verified recycling credits to companies seeking to substantiate waste recovery claims — though Recyclix operates globally and at smaller scale.

Broad incumbents

• TerraCycle: Global recycling solutions company best known for hard-to-recycle packaging streams and brand-sponsored recycling programs. Comparable to Eureciclo because it also sells recycling and packaging-recovery services to consumer-goods brands for ESG positioning, though at much broader scale and with a focus on niche materials rather than commodity packaging.
• Suez Recycling and Recovery Brazil: Brazilian operations of global waste-management major Suez, providing collection, sorting, and recycling services for municipalities and large corporate clients. Relevant as a broad incumbent offering end-to-end recycling services that can substitute for Eureciclo's certificated cooperative model, especially for large brands looking to consolidate vendors.
• Veolia Brasil: Brazilian arm of global environmental services group Veolia, providing waste collection, sorting, and materials recovery for industrial and municipal clients. Comparable to Eureciclo as an established player in the same reverse-logistics and recycling ecosystem, but with a much broader service portfolio and direct infrastructure ownership.

Emerging players

• Litterati: Data-driven platform that uses crowdsourced tagging and AI to map litter and measure waste-recovery impact for municipalities and brands. Adjacent to Eureciclo because it brings digital measurement and analytics to waste/recycling claims, complementing — and potentially competing with — Eureciclo's certification-based value proposition.
• Circulor: Supply-chain traceability platform that provides verifiable proof-of-recycling and recycled-content claims for materials, including packaging. Comparable to Eureciclo in targeting brand demand for auditable recycling and recycled-content evidence, though Circulor focuses on enterprise-grade traceability software rather than credits.
