JAKARTA, Indonesia — Rekosistem, a leading climate technology startup focused on waste management innovation, has closed a US$7 million Series A funding round, signaling growing investor confidence in Indonesia’s green economy.
The round was led by prominent investment firms Saratoga Investama Sedaya and K3 Ventures, and included participation from AppWorks, Skystar Capital, Bali Investment Club (BIC), Orvel Ventures, and the private office of Michael Sampoerna. The funds will be used to accelerate Rekosistem’s waste processing capabilities, develop advanced automation technologies, and expand operations beyond Java.
RELEVANT SUSTAINABLE GOALS
Rapid Growth Across the Waste Value Chain
Since its founding in 2021, Rekosistem has built a vertically integrated waste management ecosystem. It currently operates 15 Reko Hubs, 40 Reko Waste Stations, and over 600 Reko Mitra partner locations. As of March 2025, the company manages 4,500 tons of waste monthly, processing 3,500 tons and serving over 90,000 households and 200 businesses.
Notable clients include major brands such as Danone, Nestle, Toyota Astra Motor, Procter & Gamble, L’Oreal, Beiersdorf, Ciputra Development, and Astra International.
Rekosistem plans to channel the new capital into building the next generation of its smart waste operating system, integrating machine learning and automation at scale. It also aims to expand its waste-to-materials technology portfolio, processing over 70% of waste types and establishing a broader footprint across Indonesia.
The startup is also focused on developing a robust Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program tailored for brand owners, aligning with increasing global pressure for corporate sustainability.
Investing in Indonesia’s Green Future
“Rekosistem represents a scalable, tech-enabled model for solving Indonesia’s urban waste challenges,” said one of the lead investors. “The company’s end-to-end platform is well-positioned to drive real climate impact while creating economic opportunities.”
In August 2023, Rekosistem raised $5 million in a round led by Skystar Capital, with support from East Ventures and Provident. The latest investment reflects growing momentum behind climate-tech innovation in Southeast Asia, especially as governments and corporations seek sustainable infrastructure solutions.
