Digital Solutions
Our digital solutions and consulting services track, measure and improve the sustainability of product and material management chains. This approach benefits circular economy players by providing key insights on the recycling performance of products and recycling behavior of consumers. Recyclability assessments of products through our “Circulate” technology help businesses achieve 100% recyclability.

Digital recycling incentive solutions, such as the Recycle Everywhere mobile app in Canada (and others in Europe) increase material recovery and encourage consumers to recycle more.

Waste audits build the foundation of effective waste management strategies and are a critical component of operating a sustainable building.

RSE’s strategic recommendations will help facilitate building management decision-making.

Recyclability – Sustainability
The United States boasts some of the most amazing natural spaces in the world. From the Grand Canyon’s 6000-foot drop to the red-hot lava at Kilauea Volcano and everything in between, RSE USA has great respect and admiration for this incredible diversity.

With this comes a deep sense of stewardship for the environment and everything in it, including waste and products that have reached their end of life. The United States has had EPR systems in place since the 2000s, but the majority have come into effect within the last 10 years.

Some examples include:

• Full producer responsibility systems such as electronics, paint and textiles in multiple states
• Deposit-return beverage container laws called ‘Bottle Bills’ are active in 10 states
• California’s EPR laws for carpets
• In 2020, Maine became the first state to pass legislation establishing EPR for packaging and paper materials
• A major increase in all types of EPR bills are being introduced at the state level, and EPR momentum is growing
• Federally, there are over 30 EPR bills currently before the house and senate in 2022
