FAQs

Who is Circular Solutions (CS)?

At Circular Solutions, our mission is to foster trust and transparency throughout the recycling supply chain. We utilize the newest AI and blockchain technology to help organizations from universities to sports venues, verify their recycling efforts, track the process to ensure it’s working and share that data in a credible way. In short, CS helps organizations ensure their recycling efforts are paying off — for the planet and their bottom line.

What does CS do?

Circular Solutions has created a powerful platform that brings unmatched clarity, trust and accountability to recycling and waste diversion. We leverage the newest AI and blockchain technology to analyze the unique issues of each client and create a path to a circular economy, ensuring their waste materials don’t end up in landfills or incineration. Verification of the process is key—especially in our current environment when results are not always trusted. Our technology-powered tools verify, track and prove impact—with tamper-proof records and blockchain-based certified data to share with their consumers, clients and even regulatory agencies.

What kinds of organizations are you working with?

We work with a broad variety of organizations, including but not limited to sports properties, airports, convention centers, zoos and aquariums, and municipalities. No matter the size of the property or facility, CS has a solution for every type of client wherever they are on their sustainability journey.

How does CS determine if their customer’s recycling is actually being recycled and not diverted to landfills or incinerated?

Through our technology-driven CS Verify Platform, CS tracks recycling by material type (cardboard, cans, bottles, etc.) from the customer’s location to the hauler, and then to the sorting facility (called an MRF).

CS Verify is able to determine if a particular recycled material is properly picked up and transferred to a facility that is capable of recycling it and returning it to a circular supply chain. CS Verify provides all recycling supply chain participants the opportunity to partner and participate in providing transparency to the recycling process.

Does CS track recycled material after it leaves the sorting facility (MRF) to determine its end market?

Many of our clients want to know more than whether recycling is actually happening. They want to know the end market for their recycled material. With our CS Track (COMING SOON) platform, CS tracks recycled material from the MRF to a recycling processor, all the way to it becoming a recycled product.

How is your technology different?

We know credibility is at the heart of circular economy reporting. By leveraging both CS Verify and CS Track’s AI and blockchain technology, we can verify recycling at every stage of the process and will provide organizations with documentation at each stage for accurate, auditable reporting. That includes pounds of recyclable materials that leave a location (like an event venue, for example), a bill of lading with the exact amount of material processed and verified recycling information from the processor turning the recycled material into new products. The data is stored using blockchain technology, so it is transparent throughout the entire process, and cannot be changed later representing accurate facts at that snapshot in time.
