Cycle in Action
How the Washington Nationals & Cycle transformed stadium sustainability
Problem
The Washington Nationals wanted to engage fans in making greener choices. After just a few games it was clear: Cycle scored a home run for fans and the environment.
Solution
Cycle’s Reverse Vending Machine collected hundreds of units during the pilot program that would have otherwise gone to trash, while fans at the game were rewarded with discounts toward their next beverage purchases.
Operational Efficency
Through Cycle’s engagement platform, the stadium was able to collect valuable information from fans and customers to use in future programs and track towards the stadium’s sustainability goals.

Yes!
Reverse Vending Machine. A reverse vending machine (RVM) is a machine that allows a person to insert a used or empty glass bottle, plastic bottle, or aluminum can in exchange for a reward.
We promote a circular economy by further incentivizing users to recycle, which increases the amount of plastics returned into the economy. After bottles are recycled into the Cycle machine, RTS or your hauler transfer the materials to a factory. Then, PET bottles are recycled into flake and pelletized. Finally, a new product such as a new water bottle or sustainable product is created with recycled PET.
