Recolecc

What Recolecc does

Recolecc is a Lima-headquartered Peruvian collective management system (Sistema Colectivo) for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RAEE / WEEE), founded in 2016. It operates under Peru's Extended Producer Responsibility framework (DS 009-2019-MINAM) and offers three core service lines to electronics producers: regulatory advisory, administrative management of compliance obligations, and reverse logistics covering 11 categories of electrical and electronic equipment. The platform coordinates a national network of collection points and routes collected material to a treatment operator alliance (Comimtel), with operational presence in Lima, Arequipa, La Libertad, Cusco, Piura, Huánuco, and Moquegua.

Recolecc's customer base spans more than 14 named producer clients across consumer electronics (Samsung, DirecTV, iShop, Bitel, Pluz), home appliances (Indurama, Teka, Rotoplas, Thomas), IT distribution (Ingram Micro, EPSON, Compudiskett), industrial electrical (Schneider Electric), and investor-owned brands (Inversiones Legerdan). The business model is recurring in nature: producers finance the system via per-unit or membership-based compliance fees tied to equipment placed on the Peruvian market, and Recolecc in turn funds collection, transport, treatment, and certified reporting.

The company holds ISO 9001, AENOR Environmental Management, and AENOR Anti-bribery certifications, is a member of the international WEEE Forum industry association, and has published a third annual sustainability report covering 2022. Demonstrated collection capability includes a 23+ tonne single 2-day campaign in Trujillo and a projected 50+ tonne annual program in Cusco following the August 2024 municipal alliance. Recolecc is privately held, Peruvian-capital-backed, and operates with a headcount in the 101-250 range.
