Circular Economy Systems, founded in 2017 and based in Australia, builds payment technology and SaaS for Producer Responsibility Schemes. Its platform handles refunds and manages complex commercial payments for Container Return Schemes (CRS) and Deposit Return Schemes (DRS).
The system has processed transactions for more than 11 billion containers since launch and handles millions of payments each month for recycling programs. The company's work focuses on enabling the financial infrastructure behind container deposit schemes, an essential component of modern recycling systems.
In 2024, the company rebranded to reflect its ambition of supporting the broader transition to a circular economy. Its technical domains include payment technology, SaaS, IT services, and finance and payments.
