Circular Services Acquires Re:Dish, Expanding into Reuse Services
The company now offers customers comprehensive solutions to eliminate waste, reduce costs, and keep materials in circulation.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Circular Services, one of the largest recycling and composting companies in the United States, has added reuse services to its suite of solutions for municipalities and businesses, expanding the company's capabilities to reduce the cost and waste of single-use packaging for its customers. Through its acquisition of Re:Dish, a leading provider of reuse solutions for foodservice, Circular Services now offers full-service reuse programs, managing the supply, collection, and cleaning of reusable items for its customers.
The move expands on Circular Services' recycling and organics services for municipal and commercial customers, providing customers with a single, integrated partner to manage their highest-volume and most valuable material streams.
"We believe the most effective materials management solutions address our customers' biggest pain points—high disposal costs, low diversion, and limited visibility," said Jessica Long, Circular Services CSO & COO. "For a growing number of our customers, that means finding a better solution for the single-use items in their workplaces and operations. Re:Dish has proven to help its customers, which include major institutional and corporate partners, such as Barclays Bank, do exactly that, and we are excited to integrate their system into Circular Services."
Re:Dish was founded in 2020 by Caroline Vanderlip to address the nearly 1 trillion single-use foodservice products disposed of each year. The Re:Dish team has developed a turnkey solution for containers and dishware that provides the benefits of reuse without the operational burden for its enterprise and institutional customers. Since launching, the company has diverted more than 9 million single-use packaging items from landfill and enabled over 200,000 users to reuse. "We are thrilled to become part of Circular Services and advance our shared mission to eliminate waste," said Vanderlip.
