Recycling app with leaderboards and rewards
ZeLoop is a recycling app that makes everyday recycling more engaging through rewards, community participation, and app-based tracking. It is designed to support recycling activity and encourage people to keep useful materials in circulation.
The app combines recycling with a gamified experience that can include rewards, challenges, and leaderboard-style participation. ZeLoop presents this as part of a broader circular economy approach focused on reducing waste and supporting better collection habits.
In brief
- ZeLoop uses a mobile app to make recycling more engaging by linking verified actions to rewards and ongoing participation.
- Users can earn ERW Tokens for actions such as deposits, registering collection points, and inviting friends to join the platform.
- The wider model supports circular economy goals by encouraging recycling, reuse, and more consistent collection over time.
What to do
ZeLoop presents its app as a recycling platform with gamified rewards and participation features. Users can download the app from the App Store or Google Play, then use it to interact with public recycling bins or collection points and track recycling activity in the app.
Based on the supplied information, users can register a public recycling bin or collection point and upload a photo of their recyclables. The clearest material example provided is PET bottles. Rewards are described as ERW Tokens for deposits, registered collection points, and invited friends.
ZeLoop also says the platform is not limited to one material stream. The company describes its technology and business framework as adaptable to recyclable materials more broadly, in line with circular economy principles that aim to reduce waste and support recycling and upcycling.
What to keep in mind
The app was developed by ZeLoop and is part of the company’s wider recycling mission. Supplied company context identifies Eric Schaffner as CEO, and related company information describes him as a co-founder with strong experience in the food and beverage sector and a focus on the value of recyclable materials.
The most specific operating details in the supplied material relate to PET bottles, public recycling bins or collection points, photo-based action recording, and ERW Token rewards. These are the clearest confirmed examples of how the app currently works from the information provided.
ZeLoop also states that the framework can extend to other recyclable materials, but the supplied text does not define every material type, local setup, or exact leaderboard format. In practice, available actions and reward features may vary depending on the program and collection network connected to the app.
