• The round was led by German independent Vorwerk Ventures Capital fund.

“The waste industry is growing massively due to regulatory tailwinds and increasing consumer pressure. As a result, recycling and circularity are becoming strategic priorities for large companies around the world. We are excited to continue to support a company that is on track to become the digital backbone of the circular economy!”

Andreas Schwarzenbrunner, Partner at Speedinvest, commented.

• With this round of investment, Resourcify intends to enhance its software as a service offering across multiple industries, continue to focus on critical waste ‘take-back’ programs that enable companies to reach their sustainability goals, and expand into Europe and the UK.
