For Recycling & Take-Back Operations

Stop competing on price per kilo. Start competing on value.

Utilitarian gives you something no other recycler can offer: a consumer engagement platform that turns your retail client's take-back programme into a customer acquisition channel.

When a retail client evaluates switching, the conversation changes

Without Utilitarian, the only question is: "Is there a cheaper recycler?" With Utilitarian embedded in their programme, they're also evaluating: their email acquisition channel, their CSRD data layer, their customer loyalty programme, and their repeat visit metrics.

Competing on price per kilo

– Evaluated purely on cost
– Any cheaper competitor wins
– No switching cost for the retailer
– Margins compress as competition grows

Competing on value with Utilitarian

✓ Offer a customer acquisition platform
✓ Switching means losing the platform
✓ Strong switching cost for the retailer
✓ Margin protected by unique value

It also makes your operations cleaner

"Utilitarian gives us something to offer retailers that none of our competitors can match."

CEO, FastFeetGrinded

Questions recyclers ask

What does this actually cost us?
A single flat monthly fee — not per retail client, not per store, not per product type. Setup is typically waived when introduced alongside a retail partner.
How do we introduce this to existing retail clients?
We help you make the introduction. The pitch: "We're giving your take-back programme a consumer engagement layer — at no extra cost to you." Lead with the marketing ROI story.
