      We don’t just talk about circularity — we design it, source it, and support it. From audits and packaging plans to internal/external pooling, contract review, and special project consulting, Recirculated is here to help you lead with purpose and reduce with precision — all guided by the principles of Practical Circularity.

      What We Do

      We partner with companies to cut costs and carbon by helping them implement reusable, recyclable supply-chain assets and circular economy solutions—delivering Practical Circularity that turns “What if?” into zero-waste results.

      Sustainable Product Sourcing

      Plastic pallets (recycled/virgin), bins, totes, crates, milk crates, slip sheets, tier sheets, pallet wraps, stackers, corner boards, and stretch film alternatives.

      Circular Strategy Consulting

      Lifecycle analysis, packaging audits, vendor evaluations, and guidance on EPR compliance.

      Waste Stream Recovery

      Removal and repurposing of busted pallets, hard-to-recycle packaging, and other materials.

      Track and Trace System Development

      Simple to implement, understand and use.

      Pooling Program Navigation

      Expert guidance on CHEP, PECO, iGPS, RM2 and custom internal pool solutions.

      Is Zero Waste Certification Your Goal?

      We’ll guide you through the entire process — from waste audits and material mapping to product replacement strategies and documentation support.

      Our team will help you build a credible Zero Waste plan that meets third-party certification standards and aligns with your operational and ESG goals.

      Doing Business in CA, OR, WA, CO, MN, IL or NY?

      If you operate in any of these states, you may already be subject to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws — and could face non-budgeted fees for non-compliant packaging.

      We offer free EPR guidance and will help map a clear path to eliminate or reduce these avoidable costs.

      Have a unique challenge or opportunity? We offer Special Project Consulting and Collaboration, including:

      • New product design evaluation
      • Custom pool architecture and implementation
      • Strategic sourcing partnerships and rollout planning

      Our industry experience and broad network make us an invaluable resource for forward-thinking initiatives.

      Got Hard-to-Recycle Waste? Let’s Fix That.

      What does Recirculated do?

      We provide vendor-agnostic sourcing, sustainability consulting, and product solutions that support circular supply chains.

      Is Recirculated a manufacturer?

      No. We’re a solutions partner that connects you with the best products, suppliers, and systems for your specific needs.

      How does Recirculated make money?

      We are compensated by our vendor partners, not by charging our clients. This allows us to offer our guidance at no cost to you.

      What are EPR laws?

      Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws require companies to manage the disposal of their packaging. We help you understand, comply with, and reduce costs related to these regulations.

      Do you offer products made from recycled materials?

      Absolutely. We specialize in products with recycled content and can recommend materials that reduce environmental impact and cost.

      Can you help us reach our zero waste goals?

      Yes. From material sourcing to waste recovery and reporting, our full-circle solutions support your sustainability targets.

      Are your services only for large companies?

      Not at all. We work with businesses of all sizes across many industries.

      Build a Smarter Supply Chain with Practical Circularity

      As new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws take effect in states like California, Oregon, Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois, and New York, businesses are facing real penalties for unsustainable packaging. From rising compliance fees to recycling audits and new documentation requirements, the cost of “business as usual” is going up.

      We’re here to help you stay ahead of those regulations by switching to reusable, recyclable, and EPR-compliant packaging solutions—designed to lower waste, reduce fees, and deliver measurable sustainability.

      • Recycled & virgin plastic pallets
      • Reusable totes, bins, and collapsible containers
      • Stretch film alternatives (mesh wraps, bands, lids)
      • Recyclable slip sheets, tier sheets, and corner boards
      • Industry-specific solutions like bread trays, cheese crates, and milk crates
      • Track & trace systems for asset monitoring and reuse validation
      • Cleaning systems for food- and pharma-grade reuse

      What is your Circular Transport Packaging (CTP) score?

      What percentage of your materials are sustainable?

      Under 50% of materials are sustainable.

      Silver

      Between 50% and 75% of materials are sustainable.
