AHS Recycle store at MEGA, Shanghai Nanxiang Impression City

ATRenew (formerly known as AiHuiShou) is a Chinese circular economy company established in 2011 and headquartered in Shanghai, founded by Kerry Xuefeng Chen.[2]

ATRenew operates two main business systems: the second-hand product trade and service system, and the urban green industry chain business. It has been endorsed as the "first ESG-related China concept stock" since its debut on the NYSE in June 2021.[3]

History[edit]

AiHuiShou, later rebranded as ATRenew, was officially launched in 2011.[4] It focuses on the recycling of electronics such as mobile phones and laptops.

In 2015, AiHuiShou began its collaboration on trade-in programs with e-commerce platforms, including JD.com, and consumer electronics brands such as Xiaomi.[5]

In 2017, AiHuiShou started automizing its operation system and built an operation center in Changzhou, allegedly the world's first automated transportation, quality inspection, sorting and storage system of non-standardized pre-owned electronic products.[5]

In 2018, AiHuiShou launched its B2B trading platform for pre-owned consumer electronics PJT Marketplace.[6] In July of the same year, AiHuiShou announced its new and the largest round of financing in the global second-hand electronics industry of $150 million, exclusively led by Tiger Global Management and co-invested by JD.com, with its valuation at over $1.5 billion.[7]

In June 2019, AiHuiShou integrated JD.com’s Paipai Marketplace.[4] Following the integration, AiHuiShou started managing the second-hand, idle, inventory, and resale businesses of 3C categories on JD.com.[8]

On September 22, 2020, AiHuiShou was rebranded as All Things Renew (ATRenew).[4] On June 18, 2021, ATRenew went public on the NYSE (NYSERERE), endorsed as the "first ESG-related China concept stock."[3][9]

In the second quarter of 2022, ATRenew invested heavily on its "multi-category" strategy. The business provides recycling services of photographic equipment, bags, watches, gold, prestige liquors, shoes, and other categories in physical stores.[citation needed] By the end of 2022, ATRenew has eight major regional operation centers, located in Dongguan, Changzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, Tianjin, Xi'an, Shenyang, and Hong Kong.[5]

In June 2023, ATRenew began collaborating with Apple Inc. for its recycling and trade-in services at Apple’s official website and offline flagship stores in China.[10] In the same year, ATRenew joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).[11]

Some of ATRenew's proprietary technological solutions include:[12]

  • Camera Box 3.0: intelligent mobile phone appearance inspection device
  • 007: a module for function inspection which automatically conducts functional tests for hardware

Recognition[edit]
