Reuse 

the trend that never ends

Rather than expecting people to remember their reusable cups and vessels, we’re shifting the system to make waste reduction easier for everyone.

Just like many of you, we forget our travel mugs. We’ve all been there—grabbing a coffee on the go and wishing there was an easy, sustainable solution. That’s why we created Retrocycle. We wanted a way to support our favorite cafes and eateries again and again without needing a single-use cup every time. We didn’t want to keep adding cups to landfills—because let’s be real, we all know by now there’s no such thing as “away”. So if you’re like us and forget your travel mug once in a while, Retrocycle’s got your back.

Our leadership team brings expertise in circularity and reuse, operational planning, and partnerships to deliver a reusable takeaway solution for towns across the U.S. We are climbers, hikers, skiers, beachgoers, and gardeners inspired by a shared passion for reducing waste and a “leave no trace” mindset.

Our mission is to reduce waste by harnessing the power of education, simplicity, and community.

reuse isn’t new, just new to US

Our program draws inspiration from the German deposit system and a successful German reuse service provider that has played a key role in significantly reducing takeout waste. We recognize and celebrate the efforts of our global peers who have made great strides in advancing reuse, and we are proud to contribute to the collective learning that drives reuse solutions worldwide.
