Recotech specializes in resource circularity, providing a range of innovative solutions designed to enhance sustainability across various sectors. Their core offerings include the Circularity Design Tool, known as "pool," which facilitates the design of circular supply chains by digitizing waste management and enabling effective traceability of resources. This tool significantly reduces CO2 emissions—up to 77% during manufacturing—by utilizing domestically sourced 100% PCR materials in their products, such as pool resin. The company primarily serves commercial facilities, logistics warehouses, factories, restaurants, office buildings, hotels, and event organizers, helping these entities improve their resource management and circularity practices.

Recotech operates in both domestic and international markets, targeting clients focused on sustainable practices and resource optimization. Recotech 's revenue model is primarily based on business-to-business (B2B) transactions, offering subscription-based access to their Circularity Design Tool, pool. The company partners with manufacturers, trading companies, and processors to streamline resource procurement and waste management processes. Clients engage with RECOTECH through consultations, wherein they receive strategic assessments of their resource circularity and support for implementing tailored solutions.

This relationship may involve ongoing service agreements, ensuring that clients can continuously improve their sustainability efforts. The pricing structure for these services is determined based on the specific needs of each client, reflecting the complexity of the solutions provided and the scale of resource management required. The company plans to use the February 2026 funding to accelerate product development and strengthen its organization.
