Resilco is a technology startup founded in 2019 in Bergamo, Italy, developing unique sustainable solutions for materials treatment and recovery with carbon capture. They focus on improving environmental sustainability and circularity in industrial supply chains.
Resilco is a cleantech startup founded in 2019 in Bergamo, Italy, that develops patented technology based on accelerated carbonation to transform alkaline industrial wastes—like fly ash from waste-to-energy plants, steel slag, and flue gas abatement dust—into secondary raw materials for construction (e.g., mortar, concrete, plasters, resins, bitumen) while permanently storing CO₂.[1][2][4][5] It serves B2B clients such as waste producers (steel mills, waste-to-energy plants) and sustainable material users (cement plants, construction firms), solving landfill disposal of millions of tons of waste annually, reducing CO₂ emissions, and enabling circular economy practices with revenue from recycled materials, voluntary carbon credits, and plant sales.[1][4][5] As a Benefit Society with ~10 employees, Resilco has raised over €6 million (including a €5 million Series A in 2025 led by 360 Capital), showing strong growth momentum toward industrialization.[2][4][5]
Resilco was founded in 2019 in Bergamo, Italy, by David Callejo Munoz, a physicist with 20 years of experience in material science, industrial process design, and IP evaluation.[1][2][4][5] Drawing from his expertise, Munoz created a versatile technology addressing Europe's massive industrial waste problem—thousands of tons landfilled yearly—by accelerating natural carbonation to recycle residues into construction materials and capture CO₂.[1][2][5] In 2023, the team expanded with Paolo Brazzo (Head of R&D), Alessandro Panza (Head of Engineering), and Marta Cecilia Pigazzini (Head of Business Development), sharpening focus on waste minimization, emission cuts, and resource preservation.[4][5] Early traction included regional funding from Lombardia's PR FESR 2021-2027 program for patents, building toward scalable B2B solutions.[2]
Resilco rides the cleantech and circular economy wave, targeting industrial decarbonization amid EU mandates for waste reduction, CO₂ sequestration, and sustainable materials in construction—a sector responsible for ~8% of global emissions.[1][2][4] Timing aligns with growing voluntary carbon markets, green building demands, and regulations pushing "End of Waste" recycling over landfilling, amplified by post-2020 recovery funds like Lombardia's FESR.[2][5] Market tailwinds include steel/waste-to-energy sectors seeking cost savings and ESG compliance, plus construction's shift to low-carbon SCMs.[1][4] By turning waste liabilities into assets, Resilco influences ecosystems—reducing landfill use, enabling CO₂-negative supply chains, and scaling via partnerships, positioning Italy as a hub for resilient material tech.[3][5]
Resilco is primed for industrialization post-€6M+ funding, with pilots scaling to commercial plants and expanded waste types unlocking massive untapped markets in carbon credits and green aggregates.[4][5] Trends like EU Green Deal enforcement, rising CO₂ prices, and circular economy policies will accelerate adoption, potentially multiplying revenue as clients hit net-zero goals. Its influence could evolve from niche innovator to sector leader, redefining waste as a resource and inspiring similar tech globally—echoing its core promise of climate-resilient materials that turn environmental costs into shared value.[1][3][5]
