Together, we can work to keep products out of landfills and build true circularity.
How It Works
A CIRQU specialist will reach out to discuss goals, expectations, understand current operations and set up your on-site appointment.
A local CIRQU specialist will arrive on site to train staff, answer questions and set up everything you need for success.
We provide free super sacks to store your plastic and aluminum.
Your customized impact report is updated in real time and ready to share with the world — demonstrating your commitment to sustainability.
Once you've collected enough material, a local operator will pick it up and provide an empty super sack.
Material is categorized, weighed and inspected for cleanliness. If enough is collected, you could receive earnings for you to keep or donate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
CIRQU is free for PepsiCo partners! There is absolutely no cost to participate in this recycling program.
What are some of the benefits of this program?
CIRQU offers several benefits. Many partners enjoy immediate savings on recycling expenses with minimal changes to their operations. Each partner also receives an impact report and QR code to demonstrate their impact and commitment to sustainability.
Are only Pepsi products accepted in this recycling program?
CIRQU’s goal is to recycle as much material as possible and keep it out of the landfill. We collect and accept all PET bottles and aluminum cans from any brand.
What are the program requirements?
• Located in existing CIRQU market area OR location(s) within 15-mile radius produce 12,000 lbs / month plastic (PET) bottles and/or aluminum cans (360,000 containers / month)
• Ensure 6ft x 3ft of storage space for material
• Minimal staffing to sort the materials to avoid contamination
How is CIRQU different from traditional recycling?
CIRQU is different from traditional recycling in many ways. The most significant difference is the traceability of the materials collected. Because recyclable materials are sorted as they are collected, CIRQU can effectively verify the material weight at the collection site and throughout the baling and transportation process. The data collected at each point ensures that all bottles and cans collected are sent to a mill to be processed and remade into bottles and cans again.
