About us

From linear to circular: over 10 years on the journey

What began with four young engineering graduates and a fill-level sensor has grown into a crew of problem-solvers working across borders. Today we help organizations in any country manage any waste type and any stakeholder on one flexible platform.

We are always looking for people who care about the planet and want to build technology that makes a real difference. Come and be part of the journey.

Our story

It started with a fill-level sensor

Over ten years ago, four young graduates from one of the top engineering universities set out to create a sustainable solution that would contribute to the world. We began with waste management, an area largely untouched by digital innovation.

Our first step was simple, a fill-level sensor for waste bins. We soon realized it was just the beginning of a movement to change how the world thinks about waste.

Driving sustainability forward

Driving sustainability forward: Evreka's role in the future of waste and resource management

Why we exist

Waste, resources and climate are one challenge

Waste management is not only a municipal issue. It affects businesses, individuals and the planet as a whole, and the waste, resource and climate crises are deeply interconnected.

In our early years we optimized municipal waste collection. As we grew, we saw the challenge reach far beyond city streets: a system that works for every waste type, every stakeholder and every industry.

Moving from a linear to a circular economy means bending the line: creating small loops within the existing model until, over time, the whole system transforms.
Today

Built to fit any operation

Any country, any waste type, any stakeholder. Our solutions are scalable, data-driven and designed to drive systemic change. The journey is far from over.

Who we are

Technology alone is not enough. It is the people behind it.

We are a team of young, motivated individuals who care deeply about the world we live in. We develop solutions for real problems: climate change, resource scarcity and unsustainable waste management.

We care deeply

Caring is at the heart of who we are: about each other, about the people who use our solutions and about the planet. Empathy and collaboration drive meaningful change.

Passion that drives change

We are problem-solvers, visionaries and doers who do not settle for "good enough". When people feel valued and inspired, they create solutions that truly make a difference.

Innovation with a heart

AI and automation are powerful tools, but people are at the core of every breakthrough. We build technology that makes work smarter, not harder.

Equality & empowerment

As signatories of the Women's Empowerment Principles, we champion fairness and equal opportunity through flexible work, parental leave and professional development.

Shared struggles, shared solutions

We share challenges and take responsibility together, whether it is a hurdle at work, a colleague in need or the climate crisis.

No challenge is too big

Every obstacle is a lesson, and every step forward, however small, a success. The journey starts with the decision to begin.

1

If the goal is clear, obstacles do not define us

We do not stop at the first sign of difficulty. We find a way through, around or beyond it.

2

One step forward is still progress

Even if we cannot solve an entire challenge today, we tackle what we can. Persistence gets us there.

3

Starting is the biggest step

Once we take action we build momentum, and what seemed impossible becomes achievable.

What we do

Scaling and adapting for a circular future

Moving to a circular economy is a systemic shift that needs everyone from waste producers to secondary raw material handlers. Our solutions integrate the entire value chain.

Comprehensive waste & resource management

From waste generation and disposal to the optimal use of resources, with waste producers, supply chain managers and secondary raw material handlers all involved.

Every stakeholder in the loop

Our solutions engage each part of the value chain, so all parties share responsibility for resource efficiency and sustainability.

Flexible, modular and customizable

Each business is unique. Modular solutions adapt as you expand, adjust to new demands or optimize your supply chain.

AI-driven insights

Real-time insight into resource flows enables proactive management, shows inefficiencies and keeps stakeholders aligned.

Global expertise, local adaptation

International best practice, balanced with local regulations and needs, to comply locally while driving circularity globally.

Awards

Recognition along the way

We have received many awards so far. It is difficult to list them all, but very enjoyable to celebrate each one.
