Our Mission

Make recycling the most rewarding choice on Earth

We believe that sustainability must be profitable, transparent, and verifiable. HEM REX turns every recycling act into a measurable, on-chain event that benefits communities, corporations, and the planet alike.

Our Vision

A fully circular, blockchain-verified global economy

We envision a world where no material is wasted and every resource is tracked from collection to reuse. HEM REX is the protocol layer that makes this vision technically possible and economically inevitable.

Founded in Bulgaria

Our Story

Born in Bulgaria,
Built for the World

HEM REX was founded in Bulgaria in 2026 by a team of environmental engineers, blockchain developers, and circular economy specialists who shared a simple conviction: the recycling industry was broken - fragmented, opaque, and immune to accountability.

Bulgaria sits at a crossroads between East and West, with a strong tradition of engineering excellence and a growing appetite for green innovation. From Sofia, we built a protocol that could scale globally while staying grounded in real-world infrastructure challenges.

Today, HEM REX connects municipalities, industrial facilities, developers, and end consumers across 48 nations under one verifiable, incentivized standard - the Global Circular Standard.

How It Works

Four Steps to a Verified Circular Cycle

♻️
01 - Collect

Smart Collection

IoT sensors in certified bins scan and weigh materials, logging each deposit to the HEM REX chain in real time.

🔗
02 - Verify

On-Chain Proof

Validator nodes confirm material classification and quantity, producing an immutable proof-of-recycle record.

🪙
03 - Reward

Token Issuance

HRX tokens are minted and distributed to depositors, municipalities, and facilities via transparent smart contracts.

📈
04 - Trade

Open Market

Verified carbon credits and HRX tokens flow freely across DEXs, ESG platforms, and corporate offset markets.

HEM REX

"From municipal waste to industrial recycling - HEM REX is the critical infrastructure for supply chain transparency, ensuring the long-term stability of our planet's resources."

Why HEM REX

The EU Is Mandating the
Circular Economy. Are You Ready?

A wave of binding EU legislation is forcing municipalities, enterprises and supply chains to verify, report and prove their recycling claims — with legal and financial consequences for those who cannot. HEM REX is the infrastructure layer built precisely for this moment.

Binding EU Regulatory Deadlines — Official Sources

2024 →
CSRD — First Reporting Year

Large EU companies must disclose verified sustainability data — including recycling, circular economy, and waste metrics — for financial year 2024, with reports published in 2025.

Directive (EU) 2022/2464 — EUR-Lex ↗
Aug 2026
PPWR Applies — All Packaging

Regulation (EU) 2025/40 entered into force 11 Feb 2025. From August 2026, mandatory recycled content targets, recyclability grades and verifiable collection reporting apply to all EU packaging.

Regulation (EU) 2025/40 — EUR-Lex ↗
2026
Circular Economy Act

Due for adoption in 2026. Aims to establish a Single Market for secondary raw materials, double the EU circularity rate from 12% to 24% by 2030, and make the EU the world leader in the circular economy.

European Commission — Circular Economy ↗
2030
EU Green Deal Hard Targets

At least 55% net CO₂ reduction (European Climate Law). 70% packaging recycling rate (PPWR). All packaging recyclable by 2030. Verified material traceability mandatory across the circular economy.

Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 — European Climate Law ↗
🇪🇺

EU-Native Compliance by Design

HEM REX was built from day one around GDPR, CSRD, the EU Taxonomy (Regulation EU 2020/852) and the EU Green Deal. Every verified recycling event produces audit-ready data that satisfies ESRS E5 (Resource Use and Circular Economy) reporting requirements out of the box — no retrofitting required.

First-Mover Advantage Is Closing

The EU Circular Economy Action Plan projects 700,000 new green jobs and +0.5% GDP growth by 2030. McKinsey estimates up to €1.8 trillion in annual economic benefit from circular principles. Organisations integrating now lock in preferential token economics and regulatory goodwill — before compliance becomes mandatory enforcement.

EU Circular Economy Action Plan — COM(2020) 98 ↗

The Only End-to-End Protocol

The PPWR requires verifiable recycled content tracking across the entire packaging lifecycle. The CSRD requires material flow disclosure in the value chain. The EU Taxonomy requires circular economy criteria evidence. HEM REX is the only protocol that satisfies all three simultaneously — in one auditable on-chain record.

PPWR Regulation (EU) 2025/40 ↗

Market Demand Is Structural, Not Cyclical

The EU is targeting a circularity rate of 24% by 2030 — double the current 12%. The Circular Economy Act (due 2026) will establish a Single Market for secondary raw materials. This is not ESG optionality — it is legally binding infrastructure demand. HEM REX is already live.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HEM REX?+
HEM REX is a blockchain-based recycling protocol that creates a trustless, verifiable standard for the global circular economy. It connects IoT collection points, certified sorting facilities, municipalities, enterprises, and end-users through smart contracts - turning every recycling act into an on-chain, auditable, and rewarded event.
Where is HEM REX based?+
HEM REX was founded in Bulgaria in 2026. Our core team and headquarters are based in Sofia, with operational partners and nodes spanning 48 countries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
What is the HRX token?+
HRX is the native utility token of the HEM REX protocol. It is minted when a recycling event is verified on-chain and distributed to all participants - depositors, facilities, and municipalities. HRX tokens can be redeemed for partner discounts, converted to carbon credits, or traded on open markets.
How does verification work?+
IoT-enabled collection points scan and weigh deposited materials in real time. This data is submitted to the HEM REX network, where a decentralised set of validator nodes cross-checks material type, quantity, and facility certification before issuing an immutable proof-of-recycle record on-chain.
