Chain-of-Custody Material Tracking

Every kilogram of scrap. Traced. Proven. Filed.

Circulyft tracks post-industrial material from your press line through the recycler and back — so the closed-loop percentage in your EPR filing is a number you can actually audit.

The Documentation Gap

EPR compliance is a filing problem. Tracking is the actual problem.

Most manufacturers can estimate their scrap tonnage. Almost none can trace where it went with documented chain-of-custody.

Extended Producer Responsibility laws in 11 US states now require documented proof of recycled content — not estimates, not averages. The gap between your scrap generation records and your recycler's end-of-life certificates is where EPR audits fail. Circulyft closes that gap with real-time material flow tracking from point of generation to verified recycler receipt.

How It Works

The Circulyft Tracking Stack

Material Tagging at Source

QR-coded containers and scale-bridge integrations capture scrap weight, material grade, and source line at point of generation. No manual entry.

Chain-of-Custody Ledger

Every handoff from floor to recycler is logged with timestamp, carrier, and receiving signature. Immutable audit trail for EPR regulators.

EPR Report Generation

Automated compliance filings with documented closed-loop percentages, recycler certificates, and material grade breakdowns. State-specific EPR formats supported.

Who Uses Circulyft

Three problems that share one source of truth.

Before Circulyft, our EPR submission was an estimate built on estimates. Now we submit documented chain-of-custody that matches our recycler's weighbridge records to the kilogram.

Built in Detroit

Built in Detroit. For manufacturers who make things.

Circulyft was founded in Detroit — not because it's a good story, but because Detroit manufacturers are under the most immediate EPR pressure from Michigan's Clean Products Initiative and the OEM supplier code requirements cascading down from the Big Three.

We built what we needed, in the city that needed it first.
