VALUE CREATION INSTEAD OF WASTE.

With our holistic approach, we develop sustainable and innovative strategies for your company.

We support companies in establishing a circular economy with closed resource loops through holistic support for intelligent and sustainable upcycling and recycling transformation processes. We combine many years of experience with innovative software. The upstream algorithm identifies the right options for your company and brings you together with the right economic players, such as product designers, production facilities, or trading platforms for secondary raw materials. The upstream team accompanies you throughout the entire process and supports you in the implementation.

 

This is how we support you.

Set-up.

Everything starts with an individual workshop so that we understand your company and meet you exactly where you are.

 

Understand.

What we don't measure, we can't manage. We analyze the waste streams of your company, the materials, and products for you and derive individual recommendations for action.

 
 

Implement.

We bring you together with the right partners (recycling companies, product designers, production facilities, etc.) and take care of communication and project management.

 
 
 

Measure.

With clear KPIs, we make the entire project and its success measurable for you. This includes parameters for reducing CO2 emissions or cost savings.

"For us, leftovers from a production process are not the end, but the beginning of a new, high-quality and useful product. We want to give supposedly useless materials a second life in the sense of the circular economy. "

- Claudia Allonas, founder and CEO of upstream
