■ About Checksammy
The waste management industry is still a multi-billion dollar market with a fragmented structure, where lack of coordination among operators and low transparency are major challenges. Especially in recent years, the amount of waste being landfilled has rapidly increased due to the rise in returns of online purchased goods. Against the backdrop of rising landfill costs, regulatory compliance, and accelerating corporate sustainability efforts, there is a growing demand for integrated and data-driven waste management solutions among major companies operating e-commerce.
Founded in 2018, Checksammy provides an asset-light logistics, management, and sustainability platform utilizing AI and software technology, offering services to companies with complex waste, recycling, and reporting needs. The company connects a nationwide recycling network with client companies, efficiently integrating and operating multi-site waste collection and recycling operations.
A key feature of its platform is the ability to centralize traditionally dispersed and opaque waste management processes. This enables client companies to visualize waste flows, standardize service quality, optimize cost management, and improve operational efficiency.
Furthermore, in addition to its core platform, Checksammy offers sustainability solutions that reduce landfill and waste, and services that support the proper processing of diverse waste types. Additionally, through data analysis and reporting functions, it assists companies in managing progress towards ESG requirements and sustainability goals.
