For recycling & take-back operations

The data layer makes your price-per-kilo bid harder to beat.

Brand, model, category, store, timestamp, customer consent and the chain-of-custody back to your gate. Captured at the retailer's take-back counter, exportable into the retail-client conversation. The recycler stays the recycler. The data layer is the layer above the per-kilo line.

White-label or co-marketed. Flat per-recycler fee. One agreement covers every retail client, every store, every product category — alongside your existing operations and your existing producer-responsibility scheme.

From floor to ceiling

Price per kilo is the floor. The data layer is the ceiling.

Every recycler bid eventually meets the same floor. The next retail tender lands on the recycler whose bid carries the data layer with it. The recycler remains the recycler. The data layer is the layer above the per-kilo line.

Data-layer ceiling — €1–3 verified email, brand SKU, per-item record
The recycler's bid sits in here. The data layer raises the ceiling.
Price-per-kilo floor — every recycler bid meets the same number
Three layers, one programme

You remain the recycler. We are the data layer.

The compliance scheme manages compliance. You manage the operation. We run the data layer at the counter and produce the per-item record set both layers have been waiting for.

01 Compliance layer

Producer responsibility scheme

Manages the eco-modulated fee, reports aggregate volumes, audits scheme members.

02 Operations layer

You — the recycler

Receives the bag at the gate, sorts, routes, processes. The chain-of-custody starts the moment the truck arrives.

03 Data layer

Utilitarian, alongside the recycler

Captures per-item brand, category, condition, store, timestamp and consent at the take-back counter — before the bag is ever weighed.

The data your gate gains

Pre-sorted, identifiable, traceable input — before the bag lands.

Identified items sort faster, route higher, and lose less mass than mixed-bag input. The downstream value moves up. Below: the fields that arrive with every consignment.

The partnership shape

Configurable infrastructure. Flat fee. White-label.

White-label or co-marketed

The data layer ships under your brand to your retail clients, or alongside Utilitarian as a named partner. Recycler stays seller of record.

Flat per-recycler fee

One agreement, one number. Covers every retail client, every store, every product category you handle.

Tier 1 free, paid tiers commercials

Extend free Tier 1 to your retail clients under your branding. Add Certified Partner status for margin share on Tier 2 and Tier 3.

No per-store gotchas

Setup waived when introduced alongside a retail client. Onboarding is operational, not commercial.

Continue the partnership conversation.

The data layer is configurable to your retail-client conversation. The same model the ROI calculator uses is the model you can run alongside your tender pitch. Continue the conversation to map the partnership shape against your portfolio.
