RiverRecycle

RiverRecycle was established in Helsinki, Finland, in 2019 by Anssi Mikola and today, our team is active in nine countries and benefits from a vast network of partnerships and collaborations. We have five active sites and much more in our pipeline, effectively collecting and recycling plastic waste and floating debris.
Our operations support municipalities in managing plastic waste and generating safe and fair job opportunities, stimulating the economy in hosting communities. We operate within the circular economy, recycling, reusing, or disposing of waste properly and selling the recycling products to finance our operations.
Our goal is to install 500 river-cleaning solutions over the next eight years to prevent 60% of river-born plastic waste from entering the oceans.
While the impacts of plastic pollution are felt universally, finding actors to take responsibility can be challenging. RiverRecycle vision is to take action by closing the loop on plastic waste in the most affected areas close to rivers and reintroducing the recovered material into the economy.
In a circular economy, we create a waste management system that supports local municipalities to effectively manage plastic waste; offer communities safe and fair work, and help to stimulate the economy by involving companies who will buy the end products of the river cleaning and recycling system. Our developers are working on projects in seven different countries, and we plan to install 500 river-cleaning
solutions over the next eight years.
