What Recygo does

Recygo SAS is a French recycling and waste management services provider founded in 2018 as a joint venture between La Poste and SUEZ, headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt with registered capital of €11.46M and 11-50 employees. The company serves approximately 23,000 establishments across metropolitan France, addressing office waste sorting, secure document destruction, and compliance with French regulations (AGEC, RGPD, archive destruction standards). Its product portfolio includes subscription services (ESSENTIEL monthly plans, LIBERTÉ on-demand packs, SUR MESURE custom solutions, RESO multi-site management), EXIGO-branded archive destruction (boxes, carts, skips, on-site shredding), DEEE/WEEE collection operations, textile recycling, and eco-responsible office supplies.

The underlying technology is primarily operational and logistical rather than software-based, centered on a dual-network distribution model: La Poste's nationwide postal carrier network (with 55% electric vehicle fleet) handles small-volume collection during regular delivery rounds, while SUEZ provides industrial infrastructure for larger volumes. Traceability is enabled through a dual-scan barcode system on sealable Kadnaboxes, generating certificates of destruction. The company operates a client-facing digital ecosystem including an e-commerce boutique, an Espace Client portal for collection requests and reporting, and an archive volume simulator, but discloses no proprietary AI/ML capabilities or software platform.

Recygo generates revenue through a blended model: one-time pack purchases (€100-€290 HT per pack), monthly ESSENTIEL subscriptions scaled to employee headcount, and custom enterprise contracts (SUR MESURE/RESO). Customer segments span large enterprises (Rexel, Krys Group, Enedis, Leroy Merlin, Groupama Méditerranée), public sector (Ville de Paris, RESAH member hospitals), healthcare establishments, liberal professions, and SMBs accessing the e-commerce boutique. Distribution occurs via direct enterprise field sales, e-commerce self-serve, partner networks (La Poste, SUEZ), and public procurement marketplaces (RESAH). The company's geographic scope is limited to metropolitan France, excluding overseas territories.
