What SetTIC does

SetTIC is a Senegal-based integrated waste management company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Dakar (Mermoz district), operating in the for-profit private sector with 11-50 employees. The company began in electronic waste management and has since expanded into a multi-stream waste operator handling household, electronic, and hazardous waste for B2B clients. Its core technology stack centers on the BSD (Bordereau de suivi de déchets) traceability system, which documents chain-of-custody for each waste collection from client premises through to national and international treatment facilities, paired with a physical product line of collection containers (D3Box for small e-waste, CartBOX for print cartridges, PileBOX for batteries, and recycled sorting bins). Service offerings span four pillars: decision support (audit, inventory, training), integrated waste collection-sorting-recycling-treatment, secure physical data destruction via shredding of archives and hard drives, and tracking/anticipation reporting.

The business model combines professional services revenue (customized multi-year contracts, contact-based pricing per client requirements) with hardware sales of the BOX product line and training/consulting engagements. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting Senegalese businesses and organizations, with on-site service delivery as the primary distribution channel and inside-sales phone/email conversion for inbound inquiries. The company is ISO 14001:2015 and E-Stewards certified, distinguishing it from informal-sector recyclers and supporting regulatory-compliant procurement by enterprise clients.

Operationally, SetTIC claims over 10 years of experience, holds two named co-founders (Julie Repetti and Boussoura Talla), and has raised modest external funding including a November 2020 round from Investisseurs & Partenaires and Teranga Capital totaling approximately $64,220. The company has not disclosed revenue, headcount trend data, or a clear expansion plan beyond Senegal, though its mission statement references broader African environmental impact. Growth is supported by product launches (Sen Digital Cleanup, 2022), international certifications, and recurring multi-year enterprise contracts.
