We are thrilled to announce that Droppie has officially hit 60,000 active users! 🚀

This is more than just a number. It represents 60,000 households choosing to make recycling a part of their daily routine. Since our last update, the momentum has only increased, proving that when you make sustainability rewarding, people show up.

Our latest data shows the real-world impact of this growth

300,000+ total physical drop-offs ♻️

15 tons of e-waste diverted from landfills

5 million+ bottles and cans processed

We couldn't have reached this milestone without our incredible partners at Verpact and the local teams in Amsterdam and Rotterdam who keep our locations running smoothly every day.

Building a circular economy isn't something we can do alone. It requires a community that believes in a cleaner future. We are just getting started, and the road to 70 locations by 2027 is looking clearer than ever!
