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Many companies miss out on landfill waste reduction opportunities due to insufficient or outdated waste management options for complex plastic goods.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

A practical solution for plastic waste

The RightCycle Program is different from many conventional recycling programs because it centers around responsibility, transparency and affordability.

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
