Sfridoo

What Sfridoo does

Sfridoo S.r.l. is an Italian B2B digital marketplace founded in 2017 that facilitates industrial symbiosis by connecting companies that generate industrial waste, by-products, and secondary raw materials with firms capable of recovering or reusing those resources. The core platform, operated at sfridoo.softr.app, allows companies to self-register and list materials across more than 15 categories — including wood, plastics, metals, textiles, organics, paper, glass, rubber, construction materials, electronics, chemicals, and sludge — with each listing reviewed by Sfridoo staff before publication. The company supplements marketplace transactions with fee-based professional services: Circular Scanner (waste mapping and valorization), Circular Procurement (sourcing assistance), By-product Qualification (regulatory documentation under Article 184-bis of Legislative Decree 152/06 and Ministerial Decree 264/2016), and custom white-label Industrial Symbiosis Platform development for trade associations and multi-site organizations.

The business model combines a freemium marketplace (free listings) with transaction-based revenue on completed exchanges and direct sales of consulting and platform-development engagements. Distribution is primarily domestic/Italian, driven by content marketing, SEO, earned media in major Italian outlets (Sole 24 Ore, RAI, Wired, Repubblica), events (SMAU, Confindustria Emilia helpdesk), and a sales-led motion for professional services. Reported scale metrics include 1,000+ companies on the platform, 800+ active listings, 140+ material categories, and 370+ million kilograms of materials available. The company is co-founded by Mario Lazzaroni and Marco Battaglia, employs 1-10 people, holds €10,000 of fully paid-in share capital, has been co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (POR-FESR 2014-2020) and Climate-KIC Accelerator, and was ranked #7 in F6S's Top Company Cleantech in May 2026. Named enterprise customers include iGuzzini (95% waste recovery in a Zero Waste to Landfill project), Camst Group, Oleificio Zucchi, Bombardi Rettifiche, Zeiss, Artigo, Kemin, Vulcaflex, Cameo, Tsubaki Nakashima, Streparava, and Pattini.

Sfridoo runs a B2B digital marketplace where companies list industrial waste, by-products, secondary raw materials, and surplus inventory, and where waste producers are matched with recovery companies for industrial symbiosis. Each listing is authorized by the Sfridoo team before publication, and the company supplements the marketplace with fee-based professional services including Circular Scanner (waste mapping), By-product Technical Sheet qualification under Italian law, Circular Procurement sourcing, and custom white-label Industrial Symbiosis Platform development.

Supporting the marketplace are professional services including Circular Scanner (waste mapping and valorization), Circular Procurement (material sourcing), and By-product Qualification (regulatory documentation).
