Selected teams include businesses, local governments & Tribal communities,  and community and mission-based non-profits. Recycle here is part of the Public-Led and Recycling Supply Chain Track. The full cohort is available from NextCycle, but some of the regional ones you may recognize include:

• Recycle Ann Arbor (Ann Arbor, MI): Piloting a container reuse program that will collect, industrially wash, inspect, and redistribute glass bottles and jars for local food and beverage producers, retailers, and institutional kitchens.
• St. Suzanne Cody Rouge Community Resource Center (Detroit, MI): Establishing the Hub of Recycling and Awareness to build a shared recycling culture and increase material diversion across the community.
• ZeroWaste.Org (Ann Arbor, MI): Deploying a gamified waste-reduction platform that enables residents to sign up, earn points, and win prizes based on their waste and recycling behavior.
• Detroit Decontaminated (Detroit, MI): Establishing a scalable pilot and integrated tracking and reporting platform that recovers surplus food and organic kitchen waste generated by restaurants for redistribution as prepared meals, upcycled food production, and compost.
• ReVamp Clothing Swap Festival (Detroit, MI): Seeking to scale its quarterly clothing swap festivals into a multi-city network with permanent community thrift hubs and textile recovery systems.
