Rehrig Pacific Company

Rehrig Pacific is a century-old manufacturer of returnable packaging and cart systems, serving industries from waste management to retail logistics. In the waste and recycling sector, the company provides millions of smart-enabled carts made with up to 40% recycled content, built for durability and lifecycle serviceability. These assets are enhanced by Vision Technology, a software platform for asset tracking, work order management, service verification, and visual proof of delivery. Through a partnership with Openscreen, every cart includes a QR code that connects residents to contextual microsites for service requests, recycling education, and real-time updates, bringing residential waste systems into the IoT era.

The company operates a hybrid recurring sales model: physical assets like bins, carts, and pallets are sold as capital expenditures, while recurring revenue comes from software subscriptions and optional field services. The Vision platform—delivered as SaaS—offers customers real-time visibility, performance optimization, and digital engagement tools. This is bundled with RFID, QR, and sensor-equipped assets, creating a seamless physical-digital system. Customers can also engage Rehrig’s national service teams for cart assembly, maintenance, and container lifecycle management. The result is an ecosystem approach: durable hardware, cloud-based intelligence, and operational services working in sync.
