About Replenysh
Replenysh is building the technology and infrastructure to recover the $1 trillion worth of materials landfilled globally each year.

Our mission is to replace waste with a thriving circular commerce system where materials are continuously cycled, landfills become obsolete, and every product serves as a resource for the next.
