Case study on Circular Economy: ReCircle – reusable system instead of disposable tableware

Initial situation:

At a time when waste production is constantly increasing, consumers and companies are looking for sustainable solutions to reduce the consumption of disposable tableware and cutlery.

Challenge:

Disposable crockery and cutlery, which are frequently used in restaurants and at events, generate a considerable amount of waste. How can we offer a practical and environmentally friendly alternative to disposable products that is attractive to both consumers and companies?

Solution approach:

ReCircle, a Swiss company, offers an innovative solution with its reusable system for crockery and cutlery. Customers can receive meals in ReCircle dishes, which can later be returned to participating stores. This system promotes the reuse of tableware and reduces the amount of waste generated by disposable products. In addition, ReCircle works with a large number of restaurants and catering companies to create a comprehensive network for the return of reusable tableware.

Results:

By implementing this reusable system, ReCircle has created a sustainable and practical alternative to disposable tableware. Customers appreciate the opportunity to actively contribute to reducing waste while enjoying their meals. This system has met with a positive response and is helping to raise awareness of the negative environmental impact of disposable products. The growing number of participating stores and the positive response from customers demonstrate the success and acceptance of the ReCircle system.
