Coletando

What Coletando does

Coletando is a Brazilian for-profit recycling company headquartered in São Paulo, founded in 2018. Its core service is the collection of recyclable waste from end users in exchange for cash, with the cash value settled into a digital account associated with each user. In effect, it operates a consumer-facing reverse-logistics business that converts household recyclable stream into a small monetary payout via a fintech-style settlement layer. The company is small (11-50 employees) and operates on a for-profit, private basis. Its underlying technology stack — beyond the digital payout account — is not described in the available data, and no proprietary software, app, or platform features are disclosed. The business model appears to be a per-collection (or per-weight) transaction take-rate, monetizing either the spread between commodity resale value and customer payouts, ancillary services, or both; no pricing detail, revenue figures, or unit economics are publicly disclosed. The primary customer is Brazilian consumers (likely São Paulo-area) willing to sort and surrender recyclables in exchange for cash. Named enterprise customers, channel partnerships, or institutional offtake relationships are not disclosed in the input.

Direct peers

• Plastic Bank: Global social enterprise that pays individuals in verified digital credits for collected plastic — the closest international analog to Coletando's cash-into-digital-account-for-recyclables loop, validating the same model Coletando runs but in Brazil.
• Cataki: Brazilian app-based marketplace connecting recyclable generators with waste-pickers (catadores). Same consumer-facing Brazilian recycling collection category, with a cooperative-friendly model that is a direct competing approach to Coletando's digital-cash-to-consumer model.

Emerging players

• Greenstack: Digital platform enabling brands and consumers to fund verified recycling collection and offset plastic use. Comparable scope (digital incentives tied to measurable recycling) but more B2B/marketing-angle, intersecting with Coletando's collected-volume pipeline.
• TrashCoin: Blockchain-based plastic-credit rewards platform paying users tokens for verified recycling. Functionally the same value proposition as Coletando (digital incentive per kg recyclables) — a direct alternative implementation that could enter Brazil.
• Olio: Hyperlocal app for sharing surplus food and other goods, extending into household waste reduction. Different waste stream but same 'app + shared-goods/recycling incentive loop' DNA targeted at mass-consumers.

Broad incumbents

• Veolia Brasil: Brazilian subsidiary of global waste-management giant Veolia. Provides city-level collection services alongside processing — overlapping with Coletando at the recyclable-collection layer but as part of a much broader municipal-services portfolio.
• Waste Management Inc. Largest US waste-services company with selective-recycling and digital-payout pilots. Comparable business model architecture; broad incumbent whose moves into digital incentives for recycling directly overlap with Coletando's category.
• Stericycle: Global regulated-waste and document-destruction services player with Brazilian operations. Adjacent in waste-management category; competes for institutional contracts that could otherwise anchor selective-collection programs alongside Coletando.

Regional players

• Loga Ambiental: São Paulo-region waste-management concessionaire. Competes for the same municipal and C&I contracts and represents the regulated alternative that could expand into the household-recycling category Coletando targets.
• EcoUrbis: São Paulo's public-private urban-cleaning concessionaire handling large swaths of city waste including selective collection. A regional incumbent whose franchise areas define the addressable market Coletando can and cannot operate inside.
