Zero in on zero waste
Many companies miss out on landfill waste reduction opportunities due to insufficient or outdated waste management options for complex plastic goods. The RightCycle™ Program exists to fill that gap and helps you significantly reduce what you’re sending to landfills or incinerators.
Through this innovative program, you can make measurable progress toward zero waste objectives by converting eligible1 plastic waste into useful consumer goods.
All progress starts at zero
Landfill waste and the emissions that they produce are only increasing. In 2018, about 12% of solid waste in the United States was plastic and most of that went to landfill. That’s 35.7 million tons of trash.2
The RightCycle™ Program helps lower waste-to-landfill numbers no matter where you are in your corporate sustainability journey. Since 2011, we’ve helped our customers divert over 5.5 million pounds of waste from landfill.3
Recycle items you didn’t know you could with zero hesitation
The RightCycle™ Program is a responsible recycling option for non-hazardous1 Kimberly-Clark Professional PPE and polypropylene-based wet wipes. Through the years, participants have successfully recycled over 5.5 million pounds of waste.3
Track your waste stream with zero hassle
RightCycle™ members enjoy access to WasteBits®, an online service for managing and monitoring waste streams. Unlock real-time data on how much is being recycled plus generate reports to document your zero waste journey.
Pay zero hidden recycling fees
The RightCycle™ program is free to join – we cover all processing and recycling fees. You’ll only pay transportation costs.
