One benchmark behind every critical decision
Founded in 2025, Buckstop is building the intelligence layer for the circular economy. Our mission is to create a sustainable end-of-life for every electronic device on Earth, turning yesterday's waste into tomorrow's resources. We're transforming how companies think about asset disposal, from costly burden to strategic opportunity.
About Buckstop
Buckstop’s solutions are informed by the significant pain points the co-founders experienced first-hand. Our team includes the former CEO of a U.S. manufacturing company, senior manager of the world’s largest logistics company’s circular economy program, VP of engineering for a large tech company that specializes in reverse logistics and returns management, and the energy director for a geopolitical advisory firm that advises some of the world’s largest mining companies and financial institutions. Across our diverse experiences we experienced the same problems from different angles, we’ve come together to solve them. 


In a fragmented industry where value leaks through endless middlemen, we're where the buck stops. Your assets. One platform. Maximum value. Full stop.
