Welcome to Circular Route

Who We Are

Welcome

Circular Route is an award-winning startup dedicated to advancing the circular economy through AI-powered technology. Our mission is to reduce waste, drive sustainability, and support local communities by creating innovative solutions that keep valuable goods in use. We are proud to have won the U.S. Department of Energy Prize for our circular economy platform, which helps transition the U.S. to a more sustainable future. We previously built a global recycling marketplace used in 150 countries and have been recognized with the Environmental Leadership Award. With Circular Route, we are building a future where reuse and resale come before recycling, benefiting the environment and local communities.

Our solution

AI-Powered Platform for Circular Economy

Online Platform

AI Tools

Our platform connects local organizations with consumers, making secondhand shopping easy and efficient. With a centralized marketplace, we help local stores reach more customers while keeping valuable goods in circulation. The platform is designed to increase visibility, drive foot traffic, and make secondhand shopping a seamless experience for buyers and sellers alike.

Our conversational AI is revolutionizing how customers discover secondhand treasures. By understanding customer preferences through natural language processing (NLP), our AI notifies shoppers when their desired items are donated at nearby charity stores. This allows customers to find and purchase items before they even hit the sales floor, offering a personalized and proactive shopping experience.

 

Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, we’ve developed tools to transform how charity stores create and manage online inventory. From image recognition to real-time listings, our technology automates the online listing process, reducing manual work and allowing stores to scale their operations efficiently. Our AI tools also provide insights into optimal pricing and demand forecasting to help stores maximize sales.
