CRINC Looks Ahead to Support Recycling in 2026 and Beyond
Founded on February 25, 1983, CRINC has been a core part of Iowa's beverage container redemption system since the early years of the state's bottle bill-positioning the company as one of the original operators built to support large-scale container recovery. Now in its 43rd year of operation, CRINC brings decades of institutional knowledge and operational consistency to a system that continues to evolve.
CRINC provides collection, transportation, processing, and auditing services for empty bottles and cans on behalf of distributors and redemption partners. Through these operations, the company plays a critical role in ensuring that containers are efficiently recovered and returned into the recycling stream.
The company services redemption centers, retailers, and reverse vending programs across all 99 counties in Iowa. By coordinating logistics and processing at scale, CRINC helps maintain a consistent and reliable redemption system that benefits consumers, retailers, distributors, and the environment.
Part of a Broader Recycling Ecosystem
CRINC operates as part of a broader network of companies focused on modernizing and supporting recycling infrastructure:
MWP DRS (Midwest Plastic Recovery / MWPDRS) focuses on material processing and recovery solutions, helping ensure that collected containers are efficiently sorted and prepared for reuse within the recycling supply chain. (https://mwpdr.com/)
Droppett is a consumer-facing technology platform designed to simplify the redemption experience through a "bag it, tag it, drop it" system-expanding access and convenience for everyday users while driving higher participation rates. (https://droppett.com/)
Together, these organizations represent a more integrated approach to container recovery-connecting logistics, processing, and consumer engagement into a unified system.
Leadership Update
CRINC is led by President Shane Ort, who oversees the company's operations and strategic direction as it prepares for future growth and expanded recycling initiatives. Ort stepped into the leadership role following Doug Webb, who previously served as President and CEO and helped guide the company through decades of development in Iowa's redemption system.

Under Ort's leadership, CRINC is continuing its commitment to operational efficiency, strong partner relationships, and the long-term stability of Iowa's container recovery network.
Looking Forward
As sustainability and recycling systems receive increased national attention, CRINC remains focused on supporting Iowa's container redemption infrastructure while advancing innovations that improve accessibility, efficiency, and recovery outcomes.
With more than four decades of experience and a growing ecosystem of aligned companies, CRINC is well-positioned to help shape the next phase of container redemption-ensuring it remains reliable, scalable, and effective for communities across Iowa.
As the company looks toward 2026 and beyond, CRINC will continue working closely with partners across the beverage and recycling industries to strengthen the system and expand its impact.
