Recicla Siglo XXI

What Recicla Siglo XXI does

Recicla Siglo XXI is a Mexican industrial waste management and recycling company headquartered in Irapuato, Guanajuato, operating with a stated workforce of 101–250 employees and claiming national coverage across Mexico. The company serves industrial and manufacturing customers, providing an integrated set of services spanning collection, transportation, storage, treatment, recycling, and disposal of manufacturing residuals.

Its processing footprint covers ferrous metals (iron), non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, stainless steel), plastics, cardboard, and industrial piping, positioning it as a multi-material recycler rather than a single-stream scrap dealer. The service offering is materially broadened by hazardous waste transport authorization and special management waste authorization, which allow the company to handle regulated residuals that many smaller competitors are not licensed to touch.

Recicla Siglo XXI monetizes through transactional fees on waste management services rather than disclosed subscriptions or commodity resale spreads. It operates under a regulatory stack that includes ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental), the IMMEX maquiladora/manufacturing program, and OEA (Authorized Economic Operator) customs status — a credentialing profile that aligns with the procurement requirements of export-oriented industrial buyers. The company is privately held, has no disclosed funding rounds, and provides no public revenue figures.

Regional players

• Multirecicladora del Norte: Northern Mexico-based recycling and waste management services company handling industrial scrap streams. Comparable in materials recovery and waste services for industrial clients, though concentrated in a different geography (northern border region) than Recicla Siglo XXI's Bajío base.

Direct peers

• Grupo SIMSA: Mexican metals recycling and industrial services company focused on ferrous and non-ferrous scrap processing and commercialization. Closely comparable in business model — collection, processing, and sale of recycled metals to industrial buyers — within the same Mexican industrial customer base.
• Residuos Industriales Multiquim: Mexican hazardous and special management waste services company providing collection, treatment, and disposal for industrial generators. Closely comparable in regulatory positioning (hazardous waste authorizations) and the industrial customer segment Recicla Siglo XXI serves.
• Reciclados Industriales de México: Mexican industrial recycler offering collection, processing, and commercialization of scrap metals, plastics, and other industrial waste. Directly comparable in product mix (metals, plastics), target customer (industrial generators), and integrated service offering.
• RIMSA (Reciclados y Metalúrgicos de México): Mexican industrial recycling company focused on scrap metal recovery and commercialization for the domestic manufacturing sector. Directly comparable in ferrous and non-ferrous metals recycling, raw material sales, and servicing of industrial scrap generators.
• ProActiva Medio Ambiente México: Veolia-affiliated environmental services operator providing industrial waste management, water treatment, and recycling in Mexico. Comparable as a mid-to-large scale integrated waste services provider serving industrial and manufacturing customers with collection, treatment, and disposal capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Stericycle: US-headquartered leader in regulated waste management including hazardous waste transport and disposal, with operations across Latin America. Directly comparable in hazardous and special management waste handling for industrial customers, though at materially larger scale.
• Veolia México: Mexican subsidiary of global environmental services giant Veolia, providing waste management, water, and recycling services to industrial and municipal clients. Comparable in serving the same industrial waste segment but with a far broader portfolio and international scale.
• Waste Management de México: Mexican operations of Waste Management Inc., the largest waste services company in North America. Overlaps with Recicla Siglo XXI in industrial waste collection, recycling, and disposal for enterprise clients across Mexico, but operates at significantly larger scale and breadth.

Emerging players
