Recircle is a recycling platform available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store that connects buyers and users interested in buying and selling recyclable wastes which include empty inkjet cartridges, used cooking oil, electronics, furniture, and other common materials like metals, papers and plastics. They provide an easy and convenient way for waste and used items to be recycled or reused in Malaysia.

MALAYSIA aims to reach a 40% national recycling rate by 2025 under the 12th Malaysia Plan. This includes the recycling of metals, papers, plastics, glass and other materials like fabrics and rubber products. However, there is still a lack of information, education and incentives to encourage Malaysians into increasing their recycling rates not only for mainstream items like metals, papers, plastics and glass but also on how to reduce other wastes. Most would prefer the convenience of throwing away things assuming that ‘out of sight, out of mind’. 

Recircle started out as a platform to connect existing recycling centres and users who have recyclable goods to provide. However, as most of the existing recycling centres are managed by seniors who are not well versed in technology, Recircle has thus founded its own recycling team to handle the door-step collections and deliveries and not only do they accept common recyclable items like metals, papers and plastics, they also accept empty inkjet cartridges, used cooking oil, electronics and used furniture. In return for the items, users are offered cash and points for their contribution. Users will also get to track their carbon footprint on the app all available on both Android and iOS. 

Once a user uploads their recyclable materials, they will have to wait for interested buyers to agree on a price for the materials, they will either have to send them to the designated recycling centre or wait for collection. Once the transaction is completed, Recircle takes 5% of the transaction amount as commission.

As of 16th May 2022, Recircle has collected up to 469,429 units of inkjet cartridges, 25,308 KGs of used cooking oil, and 51,309 KGs of mixed papers of which the total sales amount to RM 1,737,333 (approx USD 395,028).
