}}Recycle Track Systems (RTS) is an environmentally-focused waste and recycling management company.[1][2] RTS uses a software platform and a proprietary tracking system to provide hauling services for businesses. [3][4] A patent is pending.[5] RTS tracks materials as they travel to recycling or composting facilities and provides companies with reports that show how much material was recycled or composted.[6][7] The customer experience has been compared the app-based car service, Uber.[8][9]

History

RTS was co-founded by CEO Gregory Lettieri and COO Adam Pasquale in 2014.[3][10] Pasquale is a fourth-generation member of a New York waste-hauling family,[10] and his great-grandfather started in the garbage business with pushcarts on Mulberry Street in Manhattan's Little Italy in the early 1900s.[3] Lettieri is a native of Staten Island and formerly worked in technology at Bank of America.[11] Long-time friends, the two came up with the idea for the company in 2014.[12]

In June 2017, the company closed a series A financing round worth $11.7 million with Boston-based growth equity firm Volition Capital, the former U.S. team of Fidelity Ventures.[13][14] Volition also provided the first outside money into Chewy, a pet supplies company that sold to PetSmart.[4]

Shazi Visram is an investor and board member of Recycle Track Systems,[15] an American entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist, best known as the founder, CEO, and Chief Mom of Happy Family Brands. Visram is a mentor for startups and an impact venture investor, with investments in EpiBone, Ovia Health, Simple Mills and Bulletproof.

Lew Frankfort, the former chairman and CEO of Coach, Inc., is also a board member.[16]

RTS customers include Whole Foods,[17] WeWork,[18] SoulCycle, Barclays Center,[19][20] Citi Field,[21] Nationals Park[7][22] and Audi Field.[23][24]

Impact

  • In 2018, RTS donated 17,952 square feet of wood and 27 rolls of unused synthetic snow from the NHL Winter Classic game held at Citi Field to Materials for the Arts, a Long Island City-based program of the Department of Cultural Affairs that supports non-profit organizations and public schools throughout New York City.[25][26]
  • RTS has donated approximately 66,000 pounds of food waste for Washington Nationals in the 2018 season.[27]
  • RTS is a certified B Corporation.[28]

Awards

RTS was honored in the Best for Environment list,[29] based on an independent, comprehensive assessment administered by the nonprofit B Lab, the organization that certifies B Corporations.[28]
