Bartec provides service management systems to organizations that share its mission of improving public services. Working in major cities, small boroughs, and large unitary authorities in England, Scotland, and Wales, 3,500 frontline municipal crews in almost 100 councils use Bartec’s systems every day.

“We are delighted to be working with Bartec to improve upon their technology offering. Together, our goal is to support sustainable public service operations in the United Kingdom,” said Renaud de Viel Castel, Chief Operating Officer and Head of Global Expansion at Rubicon. “As Rubicon continues to expand its global reach, we are benefiting more cities, counties, and residents around the world with sustainable, efficient, and scalable waste and recycling technology.”

Rubicon partners with businesses and governments worldwide to advance the Company’s mission through zero-waste, landfill diversion, and smart city solutions.
