Reuse
Keep working items in use through sharing, redeployment, or community reuse.
View pathwayRecovery pathways platform
Find the next best use for batteries, e-waste and clean-tech products.
SheRecycles connects people to reuse, repair, donate, resell, trade-in and recycling pathways while helping partners understand how recovery systems are actually used.
Start here
What item are you trying to recover?
Start with the product, then choose the pathway that keeps the most value in use before recycling becomes the last step.
Interactive pathway tool coming soon in the future PWA. Phase 1 keeps these categories stable so the PWA can connect later.
Recovery Pathways
Choose the highest-value recovery pathway first
SheRecycles makes recycling one option in a wider circular pathway, not the only answer.
Repair
Fix items that still have value before replacing or recycling them.
View pathwayDonate
Move usable items to charities, schools, community groups, or people who need them.
View pathwayResell
Recover value through resale, refurbished markets, or second-hand platforms.
View pathwayTrade-in
Use retailer, brand, or producer schemes when take-back or credit is available.
View pathwayRecycle
Use verified drop-off or specialist recovery points when higher-value options are not suitable.
View pathwayRecovery Map
Find visible, accessible and usable recovery points
The existing recovery map remains a core product layer. Phase 1 positions it as part of a broader pathway journey, with future PWA filters planned around item type, access, opening hours, site type and accepted items.
Recovery intelligence
Early fieldwork shows where recovery systems create friction
Since March 2026, SheRecycles pilot observations have mapped 70+ recovery points and documented visibility, access, signage, staff awareness and accepted-item uncertainty across supermarkets, libraries, councils, retail and campus environments.
