Ecosystem
    ECOSYSTEM

    Infrastructure is built with the ecosystem, not against it.

    We don't buy or sell materials ourselves: no competing interest with the operators, associations, and researchers we work alongside.

    How we work with the ecosystem

    Three lanes, one direction.

    OEM & enterprise programs

    We design and operate take-back and material-account programs for OEMs and asset owners, and bring their recyclers in as prioritized partners of the program.

    The recycler network as infrastructure

    70+ recyclers run their daily operations on the platform. That network is the layer new programs build on; recyclers join as customers and partners, not as interchangeable suppliers.

    Ecosystems, standards & integrators

    Accelerators, consultancies, producer responsibility organizations, and system integrators plug ContainerGrid in as the data layer, while our work in Catena-X, associations, and research consortia keeps it interoperable.
