STATES WITH NO BOTTLE BILL

Oliver developed the first nonprofit business model of selling recycling craft kits for children in community centers to fund REmind partners in states that don't reimburse for bottle returns. Partners recycled bottles are matched 10 cents a bottle and REmind purchases food for their local pantries. This program has been utilized by many Universities.

All proceeds from purchased
kits buy food for pantries.

Meet Oilver Hecht
Founder of REmind

Oliver has brought his passion for making an impact on  the environment and his entrepreneur mindset into one national program. He creatively constructed a business plan that helps individuals return bottles for food for the collectors community and giving businesses an outlet to use its funding in their store to purchase donations. Oliver has been developing a model that allows national universities to participate in the program by using fundraising tools to pay the 5 cents a bottle and purchase food for school pantries where funding isn't available.  REmind has changed peoples lives, impacted the environment, provided food for pantries and creatively helped youth look at recycling in a new light.
