NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Circular Services, a leading provider of recycling and composting services in the United States, has expanded its service offerings by acquiring Re:Dish, a company specializing in reusable foodservice solutions. This acquisition marks a significant step for Circular Services in addressing the growing demand for sustainable waste management practices.
Founded in 2020 by Caroline Vanderlip, Re:Dish has developed a comprehensive reuse program that helps businesses and institutions reduce their reliance on single-use packaging. The service manages the supply, collection, and cleaning of reusable items, providing a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposables.
Through this acquisition, Circular Services now offers a full-service reuse program to its customers, including municipalities and businesses. The move complements Circular Services' existing recycling and composting services, offering a more integrated and holistic approach to waste management. According to Jessica Long, Circular Services' Chief Strategy Officer and COO, the acquisition is part of the company's broader strategy to address its customers' biggest pain points: high disposal costs, low diversion rates, and limited visibility.
Since its launch, Re:Dish has diverted over 9 million single-use packaging items from landfills and enabled more than 200,000 users to reuse their containers and dishware. The acquisition is expected to further enhance Circular Services' capabilities, allowing it to serve a broader range of customers and contribute to the reduction of waste in the United States.
With 40 recycling, composting, and reuse operations across the United States, Circular Services is well-positioned to leverage Re:Dish's expertise and expand its service offerings. The company's comprehensive solutions are designed to help customers minimize the cost and complexity of waste management, while also promoting a circular economy.
Incorporating Re:Dish's reuse program into its existing services will enable Circular Services to offer a more comprehensive and integrated approach to waste management. This move is expected to benefit both businesses and institutions looking to reduce their environmental footprint and lower their operational costs.
