ImprOving recycling tOgether!

Recycling should be as natural as grocery shopping.‍Every day, massive amounts of valuable raw materials end up in incinerators or general waste. This isn't because people don't want to recycle, but because the process is often unclear, cumbersome, and fragmented. We thought that was strange.

Why do you have to go to the glass bank for glass, the supermarket for batteries, the recycling center for electronics, and somewhere else entirely for bottle deposits?
It can be easier. That’s why Droppie was born.

‍From waste to resources
‍At Droppie, we believe that waste doesn't actually exist. An old phone, a worn-out sweater, an empty plastic container, or a bottle of cooking oil aren't worthless items. They are raw materials that can be used again.

We call this recyclable treasure.

By sorting materials properly, they retain their value and can be repurposed or high-quality processed into new products. This way, we waste less and get more out of what we already have.

‍Our vision
‍We are making recycling so easy, fun, and rewarding that it becomes as natural as grocery shopping. Because when recycling is simple and enjoyable, everyone joins in. Then we won't have any waste left, only valuable raw materials that can be used over and over again. That is the future we are building.

‍Recycling should be fun
‍Many people want to live more sustainably. But good intentions aren't always enough. That’s why we make recycling not just easy, but fun too.

At Droppie, you can drop off many different materials at once. You get immediate appreciation in return: from confetti and compliments to cash in the app. This turns a daily chore into something you look forward to doing. Because doing good should feel good.

‍Our mission
‍At Droppie, recycling is a celebration. You get rewarded, from confetti to cash, and together we ensure that valuable raw materials aren't lost. But our mission goes beyond a smile. We are building a nationwide network of Droppie locations so that there is always a drop-point nearby. With our app, we register every contribution and show you the impact you're making. Through positive feedback, rewards, and smart insights, we help people turn recycling from a one-off action into a new habit.

This way, you know for sure that your recyclable treasure ends up in the right place, and you feel like you're part of something bigger.

‍Smart technology and social impact
‍Behind every drop of plastic packaging, beverage cartons, textiles, or e-waste lies smart technology. With our unique DropBot, an AI-driven drop-off robot, we automatically recognize, weigh, and register materials. Every drop-off is linked to your personal QR code. In the Droppie app, you can see exactly what you've dropped off, the impact you've made, and the reward you've earned. You can keep it for yourself, donate it to a charity, or set a savings goal with your neighborhood or sports club.

This is how we make recycling a habit and a positive experience. We won't have any waste left, only valuable materials and raw materials that can be used again and again. Our impact goes beyond just recycling. As a social enterprise, we also create opportunities for people. Together with colleagues who need extra support, we are building stores where sustainability, technology, and social impact come together. Everyone contributes to a circular future in their own way. Together, we make an impact.

‍Will you join us?
‍Our ambition is big, but it starts small.
With every empty package, old cable, worn-out sweater, or broken toaster you drop off at Droppie.
Step by step, we are making recycling as natural as grocery shopping. For yourself. For your neighborhood. For the future.
