Advancing the Redemption Industry

Empire State Redemption Association

Who we represent: The primary companies, organizations, and people we represent work for, own, or support redemption centers. When it is correct, we will also work to unify C-licenses and other redemption service providers if our values significantly overlap.

What is our purpose? We work to unify the voices of redemption centers and Bottle Bill advocates across NYS. Traditionally, no organization has been a unifying voice for the redemption industry. When the Redemption Industry is unified, our needs are heard clearly and are seriously taken into consideration by State representatives who alter legislation that directly impacts the Redemption Industry.

What are our goals for 2022?

  1. Stop poorly written EPR policy from upending the Redemption Industry

  2. Pass an expanded Bottle Bill

  3. Build a Redemption Association that will last for decades to come
