About Rego

Zero waste, made affordable and accessible for anyone, anywhere.

We're do'ers, strategists, and collaborators building the tools that make it easy for any organization to measure waste and take action.

Our mission

Make zero-waste affordable and accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world — supporting UN Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities.

What we believe

Circularity should make business sense. We automate the dirty work and operational bottlenecks so any team can profitably participate in the circular economy.

Who we are

Engineers, operators, and TRUE-certified advisors who've learned first-hand the work it takes to divert a single pound of waste from a landfill.

Our story

From a Philadelphia hauler to a platform for circular operations.

01

Rego started as a tech-forward circular hauler.

Our journey began as a localized circular economy service to close the loop on bulk waste in Philadelphia. We custom-built AI to determine where to bring used furniture and construction supplies — using simple cell-phone photos of those items.

02

We built our own platform to scale circularity.

With backgrounds in product and code, we built tools for landfill diversion tracking and invoice automation that saved countless manual hours. From the first click, our software helped automate the steps involved in a typical waste diversion operation.

03

Today, our platform powers zero waste for any organization.

As our AI improved to identify all types of waste, we realized our tools could help other businesses scale and go circular. Now Rego makes it possible for any team — from schools to enterprises — to measure, divert, and report with confidence.
