About us

RAW was established in response to the pressing need for a new paradigm in the recycling industry. While the use of recyclable materials has steadily increased and public awareness of the importance of recycling and sustainability has grown, we have observed a concerning decline in margins and the viability of packers and traders alike.

RAW is dedicated to bridging critical knowledge and service gaps within the recycling sector. We aim to bring a fresh perspective to the industry, with a commitment to challenging the status quo. By learning from the challenges faced by current industry players, we focus on delivering responsive and personalized services that cater to our business partners’ unique needs.

Join us in transforming the recycling landscape for a more sustainable future!
