BottleChallenge Teams · For Companies & Organizations

Turn your team into a plastic waste fighting force

BottleChallenge Teams helps companies track, measure, and reduce single-use plastic bottle consumption across their workforce. Every refill your team logs is one less plastic bottle in the environment.

Why Teams?

Your employees want to make a difference.
Give them the tools.

Most workplace sustainability programs are complicated, expensive, or happen once a year. BottleChallenge Teams is different. It turns something your people already do every day (drinking water) into measurable plastic waste reduction for your entire organization.

  • No behavior change needed. Just refill instead of buying plastic.
  • Every refill is automatically tracked and visible to the whole team.
  • Employees compete with each other and against other companies.
  • Real data for your CSR and ESG reports, not estimates.

One mechanism, many setups

How organizations use Teams

Anyone can create a team of friends or family for free, straight from the app. For organizations the same mechanism becomes a platform, and every deployment looks a little different. These are the four most common ways it is used:

Employee volunteering & engagement

A sustainability program that runs itself every single day instead of once a year. Departments, offices and branches compete with each other, refills are tracked automatically, and HR simply watches the dashboard.

A community around your brand

Gather customers and fans under your brand’s banner. Every refill they log adds to your community’s shared impact, so loyalty grows together with a real environmental effect.

Partners & contractors network

Invite clients, suppliers and business partners into one shared goal. Cross-company challenges turn a supply chain into a visible, measurable sustainability alliance.

Cities, regions & institutions

City halls, schools and public institutions compete just like companies: district against district, city against city. A ready-made engagement campaign with results you can publish.

Business Teams starts with a conversation

Every organization uses Teams differently, so we don't sell packages off the shelf. Tell us what you want to achieve, whether that's employee engagement, ESG data, a community around your brand or a challenge between cities, and we'll shape the setup together.

Frequently asked questions

How do employees join a team?+
A manager creates an organization and gets a 6-character invite code (or a QR link). Employees sign up on BottleChallenge (web or mobile app) and enter the code. That's it.
How do you track refills?+
Each refill is confirmed in the mobile app by holding the phone to the NFC tag at the refill point. The app verifies the time and location automatically, so the data your organization receives reflects real events. One refill counts as 500 ml of water and 24 g of plastic waste prevented.
Can I export data for CSR or ESG reports?+
Yes. The dashboard tracks all key metrics: kg of plastic prevented, COâ‚‚eq avoided, liters of water, number of refills. Data exports to CSV and PDF with ready mapping to ESRS E5 and GRI 306 indicators, ready to drop into a sustainability report or hand to an auditor. Impact values come from a conservative life-cycle analysis of a 500 ml PET bottle (ISO 14040/44).
How much does Teams cost?+
Creating a team is free for everyone: friends, families and small groups can start right away. Business Teams, with the organization dashboard, departments, inter-company challenges and ESG exports, is shaped around each organization. Write to [email protected], tell us about your goals, and we will propose a setup that fits.
How many people do I need to get started?+
Just one! But Teams really shines with 5 or more members. That's when the competition and leaderboard start driving engagement.
Is there a mobile app?+
Yes. BottleChallenge is available on iOS and Android, as well as on the web. Teams features work across all platforms.
What makes this different from other CSR programs?+
Most programs are expensive, require months of setup, and get used once a year. BottleChallenge Teams starts in 2 minutes, runs every day automatically, and uses gamification to keep people engaged. Your team just has to refill their water bottles instead of buying plastic ones.
Is BottleChallenge a for-profit company?+
No. BottleChallenge is a nonprofit project by BrainGreen Foundation. We have no investors, no ads, and no corporate sponsors. Revenue from business partnerships goes directly into servers, app development, mapping new refill points, and keeping the platform free and independent for everyone.
What is Eco-In tokenization?+
Eco-In is the BrainGreen Foundation's platform that records verified proof of plastic reduction on a public blockchain, an immutable, independently verifiable record of every prevented bottle, traceable to a specific NFC tag, place and date. It complements Teams for organizations that need audit-grade environmental evidence. Learn more at eco-in.org.
