RCRAReady

What RCRAReady does

RCRAReady is a Denver-based, privately-held software company building a domain-specialized SaaS platform for U.S. hazardous waste generators regulated under EPA RCRA Subtitle C. The platform is purpose-built for the daily operational workflows of Small Quantity Generators (SQGs) and Large Quantity Generators (LQGs), replacing manual spreadsheet- and whiteboard-based tracking with barcode-driven container management, automated accumulation deadline calculation (90-day LQG / 180-day SQG), generator status monitoring against SQG/LQG thresholds, manifest return-copy follow-up with 45/60-day exception reporting alerts, weekly inspection documentation with photo capture, and an immutable, append-only audit trail exportable as PDF/CSV for EPA inspection response. Underlying technology is an AWS-hosted cloud stack with multi-AZ infrastructure, Aurora DSQL, TLS 1.2+ in transit, AES-256 at rest, continuous AWS Backup, passwordless and SSO authentication, and role-based access control separating operator, manager, facility, and review workflows.

The company's go-to-market is a hybrid product-led growth and inside-sales model, supported by six free compliance tools (storage deadline calculator, generator status classifier, audit readiness assessment, penalty explorer, waste code lookup, EPA ID lookup) and six educational guides that drive top-of-funnel awareness and waitlist capture. A three-tier subscription structure (Starter at $149/month per facility, Professional at $375/month for up to 3 facilities, Scale at custom pricing with API/webhook/ERP/EHS integrations and SAML SSO) targets single-facility SQGs through enterprise multi-site operators, with optional onboarding for complex deployments. Early access and 30-day no-credit-card trials are phased through summer 2026.

RCRAReady is currently pre-revenue with no disclosed funding, customers, or management team, and the company is generating credibility through original data-driven research (RCRA Violation Recidivism, April 2026; RCRA Compliance Complexity Index, May 2026) built on EPA RCRAInfo and HWIP e-Manifest datasets covering 14.1M manifests and 701,715 violation records. A February 2026 partnership with SALI Technologies and Nigeria's Financial Reporting Council on a sustainability reporting platform represents a separate international initiative outside the U.S. RCRA core.

Direct peers

• Perillon Software: EHS and compliance management SaaS for industrial and waste-generating customers. Overlaps with RCRAReady's container tracking, inspection, and regulatory reporting use cases.
• Cority: Enterprise EHS SaaS platform serving industrial and healthcare generators. Competes in the same multi-facility, audit-ready compliance category RCRAReady targets with its Professional and Scale tiers.
• VelocityEHS (now Velocity): Mid-market EHS SaaS platform with strong hazardous-waste, inspections, and audit-tracking modules. Closest direct competitor to RCRAReady, though its scope is broader EHS rather than RCRA-only.
• Intelex Technologies: EHS and quality management SaaS used by manufacturers and waste generators. Competes for the same EHS budget and includes compliance/incident modules that overlap with RCRAReady's audit-trail value proposition.

Broad incumbents

• Sphera (formerly IHS ESG / Operational Excellence): Large, established EHS and operational risk management platform used by global manufacturers. Competes for enterprise EHS spend and could expand RCRA-specific functionality to match RCRAReady.
• Stericycle (compliance services arm): Largest U.S. hazardous waste hauler with a sizable software and online manifest offering. Cited directly in RCRAReady's enforcement narrative; competes for the same generator wallet on a much broader scale.

Regional players

• Optera (Workiva ESG): ESG and compliance workflow platform now part of Workiva. Adjacent in compliance recordkeeping and audit-ready exports, with broader ESG and supply-chain scope than RCRAReady's RCRA focus.

Emerging players

• EHS Hero: SMB-focused EHS software with safety, inspection, and compliance modules. Targets the same SQG/smaller-LQG segment as RCRAReady's Starter tier with a more generalist feature set.
• SiteHawk (chemical management): Chemical and SDS management platform that intersects with hazardous waste workflows through waste-code and material handling data. Partial overlap with RCRAReady's waste-profile and waste-code lookup features.
• SafetyChain: Plant-floor mobile compliance and quality platform with inspection and recordkeeping modules. Comparable in mobile-first operator workflow design even though its primary vertical is food and manufacturing rather than waste.
