ARKIVE LABS
Begin your circular journey with Arkive Labs, where we analyze the technical and economic feasibility of repurposing your products.
Using a sample batch of discarded products, we sort materials and estimate the time required. Next, we separate ingredients using specialized techniques and analyze the output by volume. Based on these results, we conduct a pre-analysis to match materials with potential buyers and assess factory interest.
If volumes are insufficient or your products are difficult to dismantle, you'll gain valuable insights into necessary packaging improvements.

✔ Material & Ingredient Analysis – A breakdown of your product’s composition
✔ INCI-List Validation – Ensuring accuracy and compliance
✔ Circularity Assessment – Evaluating dismantling feasibility for end-of-life products
✔ Pre-Matching & Economic Viability – Understanding demand and profitability
✔ Eligibility for Arkive Seller Portal – Access to ongoing factory sales opportunities
✔ Advisory Report – Actionable insights for improving product circularity
SORTING+REPURPOSING
If Arkive Labs confirms a successful result, you become eligible for SORTING + REPURPOSING. We onboard you into our system (Seller Portal, explained in the next chapter) and integrate you into our operations.
Sorting always incurs a cost, but with the right volumes and successful matchmaking with factories, you can generate revenue alongside us. From 1M+ units, we can scale into actual material sales and ongoing sorting.
Smaller volumes do involve costs, just like destruction. However, with Arkive, you gain peace of mind knowing our sorting process is CO₂-free, and your products won’t re-enter the market, protecting your pricing strategy. We provide analytics and dashboards for full transparency, and for an additional fee, you can install security cameras in sorting halls to safeguard your products.
Whether you're a large enterprise managing millions of unsold products or a smaller business aiming to reduce waste, we tailor solutions to fit your needs.
SELLER PORTAL
Once you're accepting for onboarding after Arkive Labs, we’ll simultaneously integrate you into our Seller Portal. You can easily connect via API or upload an Excel file, making sorting, repurposing, and matchmaking seamless.
Analytics begin after the sorting process, as we digitize each step in real time, providing transparent insights into your materials and their journey.
ANALYTICS
Our analytics dashboard provides a clear visualization of your sorted items, including material stream distribution (%), critical materials at risk of shortages, and their potential price increases. We ensure full transparency on where materials are sent, track CO₂ savings from avoiding destruction, and offer key insights on repurposing, including whether new products can be created from recovered materials.
Additionally, we provide regulatory updates and other sustainability metrics to help you stay compliant and maximize circular opportunities.
