Who we Are

D6 is a “quiet catalyst” of sustainable innovation

Often overshadowed by bottles and cans, food packaging is a crucial element of the circular economy – with the potential to redirect billions of pounds of plastics away from landfills and nature and back into a closed-loop system. D6, with our global scale and relationships with major retailers, CPG companies, and private brand copackers, has a unique position and opportunity to lead the charge toward a circular economy.

We're reshaping the future of production and recycling on a global scale.

Program Overview

Circular Economy

At D6, we are committed to revolutionizing the recycling landscape by making it more
transparent, traceable, and scalable. Our comprehensive approach involves collecting billions of PET 1, HDPE, PP, LDPE, and aluminum containers and thermoforms annually, transforming them into high-quality packaging made from post-consumer recycled materials.

We strive to engage consumers directly in the recycling journey, building visibility, accountability, and trust in their vital role in waste reduction.

Closed Loop
Customer EngagementProcessingManufacturingProduct PackagingCustomer Engagement

Customer Engagement

Customers play a key role in the circular economy by returning used packaging for recycling. Once collected, these recyclables are consolidated and shipped to the D6 processing facility.

Processing

Upon arrival at the D6 facility, the recyclables undergo a thorough sortation process to eliminate contamination risks. After materials are accurately sorted, they are baled and prepared for processing by D6 or our strategic partners.

Manufacturing

D6 and its partners will wash, clean, and upcycle the collected materials, transforming them into new products or other reusable materials. This ensures maximum material recovery and minimizes landfill waste.

Product Packaging

Once upcycled into new materials, these products are shipped to suppliers who reintegrate them into new packaging, ready for consumer use.

Retailer Collaboration

Retailers are essential partners in our circular economy model. They offer products to consumers, who then return the packaging to our Community Recycling Units (CRUs) for a seamless recycling loop, reinforcing our shared responsibility for a more sustainable future.

Our circular economy model is designed to continuously capture, transform, and return value to the marketplace, minimizing environmental impact while maximizing resource efficiency.
