Partner Overview
CalRecycle is the branch of California’s Environmental Protection Agency responsible for managing the state’s waste and recycling systems. Each year, California generates over 60 million waste tires, requiring rigorous oversight, tracking, and compliance.

Prior to Diversys, CalRecycle’s waste tire tracking relied on paper manifests, resulting in:
- Frequent errors, omissions, and risk of fraud.
- Delayed reporting and lack of real-time visibility.
- Administrative burdens on haulers and regulators.
- Difficulty integrating with legacy systems.
