Dropping Late 2026
WHY I STARTED REKN
I grew up in a rural, blue-collar household where dogs roamed freely and the land handled what it was designed to handle.
Today, an estimated 6.5 million tons of plastic-wrapped dog waste end up in U.S. landfills every year, making pet waste one of the most overlooked environmental challenges hiding in plain sight. What was once managed naturally has become a growing waste stream that few people ever think about.
Join a growing community helping rethink how pet waste is handled.
REKN is building a better system for pet ownership. We measure impact, reduce waste, and develop products that help create healthier routines for pets, people, and the planet.
What feels like a small daily habit becomes a massive environmental issue when repeated across millions of households. Every year, an estimated 6.5 million tons of plastic-wrapped dog waste end up in U.S. landfills, supported by more than 65 billion pet waste bags and roughly 730 bags used annually by the average dog owner.
REKN is helping pet owners understand that impact, make more informed choices, and support a healthier future for their faithful friends.
We are developing solutions that redirect pet waste upstream into more responsible pathways. The first step is understanding real-world habits, which is why we are starting with community input.
The REKN Impact Assessment helps estimate your household's annual pet waste footprint and provides a clearer picture of how your daily routine contributes to the bigger picture. It also helps determine whether your home may be a fit for future REKN products and gives you early access to what we're building next.
As REKN grows, participants will receive impact updates, product development news, and opportunities to access future products before public release. Every assessment helps us better understand the challenges pet owners face and guides the solutions we build moving forward.
No. Pet waste is where we're starting because it's one of the largest overlooked environmental challenges hiding in plain sight. Over time, REKN will explore additional products, tools, and systems that help pet owners reduce waste, measure impact, and create healthier outcomes for pets, people, and the planet.
