According to the company, it has facilitated over one million metric tonnes of EPR credits for producers, importers, and brand owners responsible for collecting and recycling the waste generated from their products, or packaging through recyclers certified by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

The platform also includes an EPR credit exchange, compliance automation, and consultancy services to help industries meet regulatory requirements.

The company has launched a mobile app that offers real-time tracking, digital payments, and e-auction features for commodity trade, with over 3,000 recyclers and collectors already on the platform across India.

Last month, cleantech startup QuantE Energy Tech raised $500,000 from early-stage venture capital firm Trillion Dollar Venture (TDV).
