ATRenew Inc. was named a 2025 Finalist for The Earthshot Prize on October 5, 2025, a prestigious global environmental award founded by HRH Prince William. This recognition highlights ATRenew's leadership in driving climate action and addressing the growing challenge of global e-waste, which is projected to reach 82 million tonnes annually by 2030.
The company's innovative circular economy model for pre-owned electronics, centered around its AI-powered 'Matrix' system, impressed the selection committee. Matrix, installed in ATRenew's eight regional operation centers, assists with standardized processes including quality inspection, grading, and pricing, thereby streamlining the end-to-end process of extending device lifespans and reducing electronic waste.
ATRenew's model, which collects used devices from consumers through over 2,000 recycling stores across China, has demonstrated significant potential for global scale. The company is expanding into Southeast Asia and the Middle East, and offering its self-service recycling technology to partners in Japan and Sweden, showcasing its commitment to promoting decarbonization and sustainable consumption worldwide.
