LaRécup.be has just been officially launched. Supported by the Walloon Recovery Plan, this new marketplace already offers more than 43,000 refurbished items – clothing, electronics, bikes, books, building materials – all provided by social economy actors. It is a tool designed to foster reuse, circular economy, and local employment.

Accessible at www.larecup.be, the platform provides a responsible alternative to conventional marketplaces. It ensures a reliable, transparent, and committed shopping experience while strengthening the visibility of local reuse networks.
Unlike traditional e-commerce platforms, LaRécup.be is based on a collaborative and territorial model. The products are collected, sorted, and refurbished by social economy enterprises that combine professional expertise, environmental impact, economic activity, and the creation of local jobs.
The project is driven by the federation RESSOURCES, in partnership with several sector operators (Les Petits Riens, La Ressourcerie namuroise, Ressourcerie Le Carré, Livr’Ensemble, Pro Velo, Droit et Devoir). More partners will join the platform in 2025.
The official launch took place in the presence of Minister Yves Coppieters. The SPW Economy is proud to have supported this project from its inception to its implementation, contributing to the development of digital tools tailored to the needs of the social and circular economy.
