Candam Technologies is a Barcelona‑based company that develops smart waste‑management solutions combining proprietary hardware, advanced sensors, software and AI. Its patented RecySmart platform identifies recyclable materials in real time, generates high‑value data for cities and companies, and engages citizens through incentive‑based systems that improve recycling performance. Candam's mission is to enable more transparent, efficient and circular waste systems, helping municipalities and businesses meet regulatory requirements while reducing environmental impact.
The company is seeking financing to support its working capital needs as it scales production and accelerates commercial deployment. The funds will be allocated to five areas:
Candam’s technology integrates smart container devices, AI‑based material recognition, and a cloud analytics platform that provides real‑time insights into recycling behaviour and system performance. All hardware is assembled by specialised partners in Catalonia, while software development is done in‑house to ensure full control over data integrity and product evolution.
By improving how waste is identified, measured, and managed, Candam aims to help cities, companies, and citizens adopt more efficient and circular recycling systems.
Contribution to reduce and prevent pollution: Candam’s RecySmart solutions aim to increase packaging recovery rates by incentivizing citizens’ to correctly dispose of waste in public and private settings. The technology is easily integrated within the public infrastructure and enables accurate identification of the waste deposited allowing for traceability and control of contaminants and offer loyalty programs of packaging return too. And in general, the system contributes to an increase of around 20% in the recycling rate and 97,7% of waste being correctly recycled, reaching over 2 million package units.
Improve waste management: The technology is able to improve the waste management of public and private agents due to characterization and recycling of different packaging, associated with incentives programs in which people take advantage of their recycling habits. Currently, Candam has over 9.000 users of their systems, and forecasts to reach 43 million users within the loan’s four years, with an average of 75 users per installed device and 211 tonnes of packaging correctly identified and recycled
Use of technology and innovation for a circular economy: Candam developed its solution in a way it can upgrade any regular waste bin into a Smart Bin through a validated multisensor technology capable of detailed material recognition, collection of learning data with artificial intelligence and use of citizen identification resulting in an efficient proof of disposal system, which is reliable, traceable and fraud-resistant to meet EU and national obligations. The loan will enable Candam to continue improving the sensors’ precision and data processing.
Creation of jobs: this loan will enable the promoter Candam to hire four new people for full-time and permanent positions.
