Recycap Technologies develops the Recycap Automated Coffee Technology (REACT™), a patented system that empties coffee grounds from aluminium and plastic capsules to enable standard recycling. The company offers device models including REACT-H and REACT-S and plans commercial-sized recycling units as well as a home coffee machine with integrated REACT™. The new funds will accelerate production of REACT devices, kickstart commercial operations, and support partnerships with major coffee retailers and brands for point-of-sale recycling. Recycap is working to make capsule recycling straightforward for both businesses and consumers by producing machines for homes, offices and retail locations. The company highlights the broader market need—global capsule production is around 39,000 capsules per minute, Spain consumes over 5 million capsules daily, and only about 10% of capsules are currently recycled—underscoring demand for its technology. Recycap was founded in 2022 and is based in Valencia. Recycap builds the REACT™ mechanical system that removes coffee grounds from aluminium and plastic coffee capsules, leaving empty capsules ready for regular recycling bins. The platform is positioned for both home and office use and the company says its solution is patented. Recycap plans to manufacture commercial-sized recycling devices, begin commercial operations, and develop a first home coffee machine with fully integrated REACT™ technology. The team is also working with coffee retailers and brands to create point-of-sale aluminium capsule recycling programs. The company highlights the scale of the opportunity—only about 10% of capsules are recycled, roughly 4.9 billion used aluminium capsules end up in landfills, and Spain alone uses more than 5 million capsules daily. Recycap was founded in 2022 and is based in Valencia.
