Solution to the problem
Reuse components
Every year, 62 million tonnes of e-waste are generated, making it our collective responsibility to reduce this impact. As makers, we can contribute by sharing unused components with those who need them, cutting down on unnecessary purchases and minimizing waste.
Reduce Costs
Prototyping can be expensive, but most of the time, the tools and components needed are only required for a brief period or a small part of the project, leading to unnecessary overspending. Even with careful planning, mistakes in purchasing the wrong parts can drive costs up further. By enabling tool and component sharing, the only expenses would be shipping and a small rental fee to the owner, making innovation more affordable and efficient.
Inclusion In Innovation
By lowering prototyping costs, we make innovation accessible to everyone. Students and makers with a vision can now bring their ideas to life without financial barriers.
Community Building
Foster a collaborative community where makers can learn, share ideas, and support each other's projects in an eco-friendly environment.
Sustainable Innovation Hub
Where technology meets sustainability, helping reduce e-waste while enabling affordable access to high-quality electronics.
About
At ReCirkit, we're redefining innovation by making it sustainable. Today's creators and engineers are limited not just by their ideas, but also by the prohibitive costs of electronic components and mounting e-waste challenges.
​
Our platform disrupts this status quo by creating a sharing economy for electronics. We enable makers, inventors, engineers, and tech enthusiasts to rent high-quality electronic components instead of buying them outright - extending the life cycle of existing technology while making innovation more accessible and affordable.
​
By fostering an inclusive community where members can share resources and expertise, we're not just reducing waste – we're revolutionizing how people access the tools they need. This shared approach isn't just good for business; it's essential for a sustainable future.
​
As part of our commitment to UN Sustainable Development Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption & Production), ReCirkit is leading the charge in minimizing electronic waste and democratizing technology access. Together, we're proving that sustainability and innovation aren't opposing forces – they're the key to creating a more equitable, efficient, and environmentally conscious world.

Join our community of changemakers who are transforming how we think about electronics - from ownership to sharing. Because when we work together towards a shared future, there's no limit to what we can achieve.
Our story:
-
What kind of electronic components can I share or rent?You can share any working electronic parts or modules—microcontrollers, sensors, development boards, RAM sticks, old laptops, cables, and more. As long as it's functional and safe to use, it can help someone build their next project.
-
Why should I share my unused electronics?Because they're not helping anyone by sitting in a drawer. Sharing your unused components reduces e-waste, supports innovation, and gives others access to tools they might not otherwise afford. It’s a small act with big impact.
-
What if the borrowed item gets damaged?We encourage responsible use of shared components. If an item is damaged, borrowers are expected to inform the lender and discuss possible replacements or compensation.
-
Is there a cost involved in borrowing components?Components are shared either for free or at a minimal fee to cover handling or delivery. Our goal is to keep prototyping affordable, especially for students and young innovators.
