100% of the bottles are recycled!
That's our commitment.

Let us explain how it works.

All bottles collected by B:bot are crushed into flakes.

What are flakes? They are the raw material used to make new bottles.

All plastic flakes are sent to French recyclers who use this material for manufacturing their bottles.

As a result, the clear bottles, which make up 90% of our collection, are transformed back into bottles, while the colored bottles, representing 10% of our collection, are repurposed into textile fibers.

Why are glitter flakes so amazing?

Focus on
the 3 key advantages of glitter flakes:

10 times less volume

8 fewer steps

100% recycled

The magic flake which makes
trucks disappear… or close enough!

A bottle reduced to flakes takes up to 10 times less space than a compressed one. It  therefore requires 10 times less trucks for transport! Planet earth is thanking you!

To make your life easier, simply place your empty bottles directly in your shopping bags.

B:bot accepts all PET beverage bottles up to 2.5 liters, empty and with their labels intact for barcode recognition.

In order to produce 100% recyclable plastic flakes, b:bot rejects anything that is not PET (milk, cleaning products, cosmetics) as these are plastics that cannot be recycled together.

Beverage bottles (excluding milk), empty with labels, not crushed.

Full milk, shampoo, and label-less bottles, crushed.

Scan your bottle barcodes facing up, and you're good to go!

Why do I need to scan my bottle?

The barcode allows b:bot to verify that it's an accepted bottle and identify its color. Colored plastics are not recycled in the same way as transparent plastics.

Quick tip:
Present the barcode facing upwards and deposit it after you hear the beep.

Behold the magical sparkle!

The only thing to do at this moment is to admire your masterpiece, 'the bottle that turns into glitter.' You can take pride in yourself because you have just achieved a '100% recycled' success.

As a bonus,
every bottle you deposit earns you dollars.

Depending on the stores, the reward for each bottle is either 0.01 or 0.02 cents that you can donate to a charity or use as a voucher.
