What ReSpark changes about CRV

The old way creates work. ReSpark replaces it.

Without ReSpark
CRV tracking lives in spreadsheets alongside but disconnected from scale operations.
Daily and weekly payment limits require manual enforcement at the window.
Generating audit-ready documentation for CRV reclamation takes hours.
With ReSpark
CRV integrated directly into scale ticketing and purchasing workflows.
Limits enforce automatically at the scale window.
Documentation generates from the same data your operators already enter.

Manage CRV rates in one place

Say goodbye to outdated rate sheets. In ReSpark, you can set refund values by:

  • Segregated pound
  • Small or large container
  • Wine, wine pouch, and liquor containers
  • Manage Admin & Processing Fees
  • Review a full rate history log
  • For Processors, manage RV, CP, CS, and SP rates & redemption payouts

Batch tickets like a pro

Group scale tickets into CRV batches and instantly calculate:

  • Total CRV paid
  • Refund value owed
  • Scrap value totals
  • Total container counts
  • Number of eligible tickets
  • Segregated weight + equivalent weight
  • Small vs. large container breakdown

Auto-generate DR6 and DR7 DORIIS forms

No more spreadsheets or handwritten forms. Capture transaction data automatically and export fully compliant DR6 and DR7 redemption reports in just one click, ready for DORIIS CalRecycle submission.

CRV redemptions shouldn't take all day,
and with ReSpark, they don't.

    • Other tools feel bolted on. ReSpark is purpose-built for scrap and recycling operations, so CRV workflows feel natural, not forced.
  • Every batch ships with a state-compliant PDF and a full log of rate changes and batch details — review-ready.

    • Every batch comes with a state-compliant PDF summary that's ready to submit. Plus, all rate changes and batch details are logged for full transparency.
  • Guided batch builder means no missed tickets, no miscounts, no manual math — accurate totals every time.

    • Our intuitive batch builder means no missed tickets, no miscounts, and no manual math. Just accurate totals, every time.
  • Advanced reporting, eligibility tools, and multi-facility CRV workflows in active development.

    • We're not stopping here. We're actively expanding our CRV capabilities to support advanced reporting, eligibility tools, and multi-facility workflows — because the refund shouldn't be harder than the recycling.

Frequently asked questions.

Does ReSpark generate the DORIIS forms?

Yes. DR6 shipping reports and DR7 processor invoices generate from your workflow in one click, ready for DORIIS CalRecycle submission — no spreadsheets, no handwritten forms.

How are CRV rates managed?

Centrally. Set refund values by segregated pound, small or large container, and wine, wine pouch, and liquor containers, manage admin and processing fees in ReSpark, and review a full rate history log. Processors can also manage RV, CP, CS, and SP rates and redemption payouts.

How does batching work?

Group scale tickets into a CRV batch and ReSpark calculates total CRV paid, refund value owed, scrap value totals, container counts, eligible tickets, segregated and equivalent weight, and the small-versus-large container breakdown.

Are daily and weekly payment limits enforced?

Yes, automatically at the scale window, with every transaction logged by driver's license and material type.

Is CRV a separate system from our scale tickets?

No. CRV runs inside normal scale ticketing and purchasing rather than alongside it, so documentation generates from the same data your operators already enter.
