Glassy Pickup recovers glass bottles from bars, restaurants, and venues before they reach the landfill — and sends those recovered bottles into the circular economy.

The Challenge

Glass is infinitely recyclable — yet most commercial glass still ends up in landfills.

Single-stream recycling breaks glass. Contamination, broken shards, and missing infrastructure mean the loop never closes. Hospitality venues generate high volumes of glass weekly — with no dedicated system to recover it.
