Water bottle recycling
Water bottle recycling turns used plastic bottles into a resource instead of litter. ZeLoop supports this shift by linking digital tools with practical collection and recycling solutions for plastic packaging in everyday locations.
Through partnerships and technology, ZeLoop helps institutions and consumers set up simple systems to collect and recycle water bottles, encouraging sustainable habits and cutting plastic leakage into the environment over time.

- ZeLoop works with partners to help institutions collect and recycle used plastic bottles, including water bottles, using dedicated equipment and managed services.
- The ZeLoop mobile app and rewards engine motivate people to return their bottles, helping to reduce litter and support more sustainable plastic waste management.
- By combining reliable recycling equipment with digital engagement, ZeLoop helps organizations and communities steadily improve their water bottle recycling performance.
What to do
Water bottle recycling with ZeLoop is based on a mix of physical collection points and engaging digital services. ZeLoop Aggregator Plus allows institutions to install a clear, easy-to-run system to collect and recycle used plastic bottles, integrating proven recycling equipment into their sites.
At the core of this solution is Nielsen recycling equipment, known for performance and reliability in solid waste management. This hardware is connected to the ZeLoop mobile application and a reward engine using blockchain technology, creating a smooth link between bottle collection, tracking, and user engagement.
SmartBlock, the company behind the ZeLoop rewards platform, focuses on encouraging pro-environmental behavior. By rewarding users for collecting used plastic bottles, the platform helps cut litter pollution and supports organizations that want to raise their water bottle recycling rates in a measurable, behavior-driven way.
What to keep in mind
The ZeLoop Aggregator Plus solution is designed for institutions that want a structured, technology-enabled way to manage plastic bottle waste, including water bottles. It combines on-site recycling equipment with a digital rewards platform, so it works best where both physical collection and user engagement can be deployed together.
Nielsen, founded in 2001, brings long-standing innovation in solid waste management, with multiple innovation awards, registered patents, and products marketed in more than 27 countries. This experience supports the reliability of the equipment used in ZeLoop Aggregator Plus and enables deployment in diverse regions.
The partnership around ZeLoop Aggregator Plus is already helping strengthen presence in Africa, where Nielsen operates in over 27 countries, and is planned for rollout in other regions of the world. As it grows, the solution aims to support wider adoption of sustainable practices in plastic waste management, including higher recycling rates for water bottles.
