- Recyclebank abstract "Recyclebank is a company headquartered in New York City with offices in Philadelphia and Houston that rewards people for taking everyday green actions with discounts and deals from thousands of local and national businesses. It does this providing points to its members for an array of environmentally friendly behaviors including recycling their household garbage, using energy more efficiently at home, reducing water usage, buying greener products and even by walking to work instead of driving. Recyclebank also uses its digital platform to educate consumers on green behavior through “Learn and Earn” quizzes that give Recyclebank users points for correctly answering questions about ecology, energy and the like, and through interaction via Facebook, Twitter and mobile applications. These points can be used at participating local and national rewards partners.Recyclebank was founded in 2004 by Patrick K. FitzGerald and Ron Gonen and a pilot program that focused on recycling was launched in two Philadelphia neighborhoods. With its rewards for recycling programs, Recyclebank forms partnerships with cities, counties and towns that are designed to drive up recycling rates. Homeowners receive Recyclebank points based on the recycling weights. Jonathan Hsu, previously CEO of 24/7 Real Media, replaced Ron Gonen as CEO in October 2010. According to Hsu, the company can be described as the largest consumer-facing engagement platform for all things sustainability. In November 2013, the previous chief sales and marketing officer at Recyclebank, Javier Flaim succeeded Hsu, who will serve in an advisory role throughout the subsequent months.Recyclebank is a member company of Ceres, a network nationwide of investors, environmental organizations and other public interest groups to address sustainability challenges such as global climate change.
