the operating

recovery.

California's bottle deposit system generates $1.5B annually — but 40% never gets reclaimed. bottlr is the real-time infrastructure that closes the gap.

the gap

$600M left on the table.
every year.

The people, the bottles, and the redemption infrastructure all exist. What's missing is the coordination layer.

01

collectors work blind

Collectors walk routes not knowing if bottles will be there. No signal, no advance notice. Wasted time and income every day.

02

hosts have no system

Businesses pile bottles out back with no pickup scheduled, no record of what happened, and no ESG documentation to show for it.

03

cities miss their targets

SB 1383 mandates container diversion. Most cities have no real-time, verified mechanism to track or improve their redemption rate.

04

enterprises can't verify

Scope 3 reporting requires granular recovery data. There's no existing infrastructure to produce it at the level ESG filings demand.

why it matters

infrastructure, not an app.

The app is access. The verified data layer is the product — and it has defensible value at every tier.

live
real-time coordination

Jobs update as hosts post. No stale listings. Collectors see exactly what's available before they leave home.

transparent
earnings visibility

Collectors and hosts see pickup and earnings history. Completion records for every job.

verified
ESG data layer

Every pickup is photo-verified and timestamped. Compliance records exist at the pickup level, not estimate level.

EPR
-ready infrastructure

Extended Producer Responsibility legislation is passing state by state. Bottlr is the data layer those programs need.
