Recyclebank is a company based in New York City that promotes recycling and environmental awareness. It provides a rewards program for various goods. [2] A Certified B Corporation, Recyclebank is headquartered in New York City. [2]
In 2001, New York City was considering cancelling its recycling program. Then Fordham Law student Patrick FitzGerald drafted a business model to financially incentivize people to recycle and allow businesses to promote sustainability. [3] In 2003, he contacted Ron Gonen, a high school friend, for assistance. [4] By 2003, the two had completed a business plan, and by 2004, began a pilot program in Philadelphia. In 2009, Recyclebank became a certified B corporation. [5]
