Logistics
Higher density payloads mean fewer collection runs from your points to hub facilities. The math is simple: up to 7× more units per truck versus traditional compaction, same footprint, same intake volume. Fewer trips directly lower your cost per tonne.
Three operator challenges. Three measurable outcomes.
Too many collections and truck-km to move bulky packaging from thousands of points to a few hubs.
Outcome: Up to 7× fewer logistics for the same number of containers.

Outcome: Deposit events + bag-level chain of custody, with evidence for exceptions.

Every material and process meets DRS standards and recyclability rules.
Yes. b:bot produces PET flakes designed to integrate into standard recycling lines. The shredder and flake specifications were developed with recyclers to reach a consistent format that can be washed and processed without adding new equipment. We've already collected and recycled 500 million containers through this system in bottle-to-bottle loops with leading recycling partners. We also provide access to a European network of recycling partners and offtake pathways when launching new markets.
b:bot sorts by colour class during shredding. Flake streams are separated to match recycler intake specifications, eliminating mixed-colour contamination at source.
Not necessarily. At the point of collection, output is bag-based and can be handled through the same pickup logic as other RVM outputs (site pickup → handover → reporting). Where schemes use commingled pickup or additional truck compaction, b:bot delivers the strongest benefit in dense or remote areas where transport and handling dominate cost. We can quantify routing assumptions case by case.
No. PET is shredded because density and sorting at source materially change collection economics. For aluminium, compaction is already effective, so cans follow standard DRS handling and downstream recycling flows.
