Frequently asked questions
How much does this program cost?
The program is fully sponsored by PepsiCo, so there’s currently no cost to participate.
How much extra work is it?
It's not much extra work for the housekeeping staff. They need to bring the bags from guest facing bins to the BOH area and sort the material into super-sacks by material type (aluminum, PET, and glass). The CIRQU team takes care of the rest.
Is staff training on sorting provided?
Yes, the property will receive training materials with their super-sack drop off in both English and Spanish to explain how sorting works. Properties have found it easy and straightforward.
How is this different from traditional recycling?
Traditional recycling often doesn’t provide transparency on how much is collected or what happens to those materials. With CIRQU, the process is trackable, and materials are directed back into manufacturer supply chains whenever possible. You can view this information in your impact report.
What materials can you collect?
CIRQU program accepts aluminum cans and PET #1 bottles.
What will be provided?
After understanding your storage capacity and types of recycled materials you typically collect, CIRQU will provide the appropriate bins or containers necessary for your business.
Whats the difference between guest front-of-house bins and back-of-house storage containers?
Front-facing bins are for visitors to dispose of materials and sort recyclables (option for PepsiCo to help co-brand them). Back-of-house containers are provided by CIRQU to store materials until pickup.
What is CIRQU vs Replenysh?
PepsiCo partners with a company called Replenysh that operates the PepsiCo CIRQU program.
