Our mission

Recyca aims to be an essential link in the “ circular economy ”, a concept that encourages us to reuse and recycle products instead of throwing them away after use.

Recyca is a pioneer in the “mining” of raw materials from “waste” (Urban Mining) in order to extract less from nature.

The empty cartridges collected by us are reused, the discarded ICT material is recycled. Thanks to the daily efforts of our employees, our partners and our customers, we give tons of high-quality products a new life every year: sustainable business in the true sense of the word.

By expanding the activities in the Netherlands ( www.nica-ctc.nl ) and France ( www.recyca.fr ), we have the ambition to become a European player in the sector.
