Our Environmental Initiatives
Environmental responsibility and philanthropy are two things we have always been passionate about – making Project RISE a no-brainer! With every purchase, customers can direct a donation up to $500 to an environmental non-profit. We support five charities focusing in the areas of forestry, climate care, wildlife protection, water conservation, and environmental education.
Plastic Bank empowers the Social Recycling movement that stops ocean plastic and helps alleviate poverty. Busch Systems is improving lives in ethical collection communities in collaboration with Plastic Bank and, in 2023, Busch Systems will help stop the equivalent of 2.2 million plastic bottles from entering the ocean in collaboration with Plastic Bank.
Innovation is at the heart of what we do, and we are proud to have partnered with CarbonGraph to map out the carbon footprint of our products. Founded in 2021, CarbonGraph’s mission is to provide people, companies and governments the environmental context needed to make informed decisions about the sustainability of the goods and services they buy.
In partnership with Plastic Bank, Busch Systems is directly contributing to five of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 1, 8, 12, 14, and 17)

Meet Our Junior Ambassador
Ryan Hickman
In 2012 at the age of 3, Ryan went along with his dad to the local recycling center and cashed in a few small bags of cans and bottles and decided that recycling was in his future. The next day, Ryan told his mom and dad that he wanted to give empty plastic bags to all the neighbors and maybe they would save their recyclables for him. Not only did the local neighbors save their cans and bottles for Ryan, but so did their friends, families and co-workers!
In 2016, Ryan’s recycling story went viral and ever since he has been featured on websites, television and radio stations around the World. Busch Systems is proud to support Ryan in his recycling journey along with his passion for sharing his knowledge with kids and adults alike with his nonprofit Project3R.

Keeping Our Beaches & Neighbourhood Clean
Waterfront Beach Clean-Up 2023
Busch Systems head office is located in the beautiful city of Barrie with an amazing waterfront including beaches, walking paths, and fitness equipment. July 2023, with the help of our Junior Ambassador and beach cleanup “expert,” Ryan Hickman, we hosted our first official Beach Cleanup! We are excited to make this an annual event, ensuring we do our part to keep our beachfront clean.
Annual Neighbourhood Clean-Up
Always a company favourite – our annual neighbourhood clean-up! Each year in celebration of Earth Day, we take a few hours out of our day to do a spring clean of our company properties. Even a few hours makes a big difference and we are always proud of the work we have done when we drive away from the office at the end of the day.
Green Thinking Webinar Series
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we love sharing our passion and expertise with others. Through our webinars, case studies, blogs, and vlogs you are sure to gain valuable knowledge on current topics in the recycling industry.
