Recyclehero, founded by Nadine Herbrich and Alessandro Cocco in 2018, is an innovative Hamburg startup that specializes in the pickup and recycling of valuable materials such as used paper, used glass, used clothing, and deposits. The company relies on climate-friendly e-cargo bikes and offers its service for both households and restaurants, shops, and offices.
The mission of Recyclehero is to make the circular economy accessible and easy for everyone. The company is strongly committed to social and environmentally friendly projects. The proceeds from deposits flow into social projects, particularly in the area of homeless assistance. Additionally, Recyclehero supports the professional development of disadvantaged individuals through (re)integration into the labor market[1][2].
Recyclehero plans to expand its service to other cities such as Hanover and Munich and, in the medium term, to address the waste problem in more cities through franchising. Each city is to receive a suitable, location-specific solution[2]. Additionally, the offering is continuously being expanded to collect more valuable materials such as electronic waste and thus further improve the infrastructure[2].
