RERUM Corp.

What RERUM Corp. does

RERUM Corp., operating under its legal entity R.LOG TRANSPORTES E AGENCIAMENTO DE CARGA INTERNACIONAL LTDA, is a Belo Horizonte-headquartered international commodities trading and integrated logistics firm incorporated in Brazil. The company operates across four primary commodity verticals — metals (scrap), coffee, cocoa, and minerals — connecting producers in South America with global buyers. RERUM also extends its offering into adjacent service lines including urban mining/resource recovery from telecommunications assets, environmental recovery of degraded areas, and end-to-end international logistics coordination (customs, road freight, and multimodal transport).

The business model is fundamentally transaction-based: revenue is generated through trading spreads on commodity movements and fees on logistics orchestration services. The company maintains a B2B go-to-market with direct enterprise relationships, evidenced by named counterparties such as VTal (a Brazilian fiber-optic telco) for urban mining services. RERUM runs lean, with a disclosed headcount of 1-10 employees, yet maintains a four-country office footprint spanning Brazil (HQ), the United States, Switzerland, and Peru — a geographic configuration consistent with cross-border commodity origination (Peru/Brazil) and financing/buyer-side access (US/Switzerland). No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; operations appear to be relationship- and execution-driven rather than software-mediated.

The company holds formal compliance certifications covering LGPD (Brazilian data protection), ISO/IEC 27002 (information security), and GDPR, indicating institutional-grade data-handling posture. RERUM has publicized a material urban mining initiative with VTal referencing the recovery of 142,414+ tons of materials, suggesting the firm's resource-recovery vertical is at commercial scale despite the small disclosed headcount — implying either outsourced operational execution, partner-led recovery, or that the 142K-ton figure is a multi-year cumulative target rather than annual throughput. No external funding rounds, ownership disclosures, or audited financials are publicly available.
