Recyda Raises Seed Funding
Summary
Recyda, a Frankfurt am Main, Germany-based recyclability database startup, raised its first institutional funding from Futury Capital. The company intends to use the funds to accelerate business growth. Co-founded by Christian Knobloch, Anna Zießow and Vivian Loftin, Recyda develops a database that centralizes information on the most important parameters for packaging recyclability at an international level. Specifically, the software tool consolidates research on country-specific recyclability to embed it into a web application with a comprehensive database and advanced packaging management features. By visualizing how changes in the packaging specifications affect recyclability, the tool allows brand owners, retailers, and packaging producers to align with country-specific requirements and optimize their impact to contribute to the circular economy.
