Linear supply chains have SAP and Oracle.
Circular ones have nothing ContainerGrid.
Your products contain materials you'll need again. ContainerGrid designs, launches, and operates the take-back programs that get them back. The platform already runs 1M+ orders across 3,800+ drop-off points served.
Less dependence on imports and single suppliers.
Supply keeps flowing when markets or borders don't.
Sourcing volatility and write-offs hit the bottom line. This is a procurement and profit conversation.
From asset owner to offtaker: every handoff documented.
One platform. Two building blocks.
One runs your services. One secures your materials.
Orchestration Engine
Coordinate every pickup, handoff, and processor under your rules. Then turn take-back, lifetime extension, and end-of-life offerings into a service line you run at scale, with a partner network you don't have to build.
Virtual Material Account (VMA)
A live ledger of every material you own: what it is, its condition, and where it is. You decide who processes it, which producer it's allocated to, and secure access to critical raw materials for your own production, up to setting the terms of trade.
Your service organization runs on the engine. Your procurement runs on the account.
Across both: Digital Product Passport integration (upstream composition data flows into end-of-life workflows) and Carbon Intelligence (Scope 3 actuals, PCF/CCF, CBAM-ready).

Decision-gated. Never all-or-nothing.
Every phase ends with evidence and an explicit go/no-go. You buy certainty in increments, not a transformation program.
Scoping Session
Map your asset classes, material streams, and recovery options with our team.
AI-Scoped Program Design
A packaged, costed program concept for your assets. A program is a governed, repeating recovery workflow for one asset class.
Proof-of-Value Pilot
Governed pilot on live orders with your existing contractors, measured against agreed criteria.
Take-Back-as-a-Service
Roll out per business unit, asset type, and material stream: regionally, then globally.
Measured in production.
Observed in production programs. 100% audit-grade chain of custody on every order.
Existing software categories stop at your factory gate.
