ABOUT CIRCLTECH
Making reuse work in the real world.
We are a circular economy technology company based in Cambridge, UK.
We believe that reusables offer the most cost effective and sustainable solution to take-away containers- especially in closed loop environment. Our premium reusable cups and containers help venues reduce waste while giving customers a better drinking experience.
About us
We are developing practical solutions to reduce single-use packaging waste. Our aim is to replace single-use plastic and difficult-to-recycle paper cups with high-quality reusable cups and containers that can be used repeatedly within an efficient return and reuse system.
To make reuse simple and convenient, Circltech has developed smart reusable cups together with smart return infrastructure that enables a seamless borrow-and-return experience. Our technology can track the circulation and return of reusable cups while allowing users to borrow them without the need to purchase or permanently own a cup.
The system is particularly well suited to closed or semi-closed environments such as university campuses, where large numbers of drinks are served every day across cafés, catering outlets, libraries, student unions and events. By providing an easy-to-use reusable cup network across a campus, universities can significantly reduce their reliance on disposable cups and the associated waste.
Circltech aims to work with universities to create a practical, scalable and measurable reuse system that supports their waste-reduction, carbon-reduction and wider sustainability objectives, while maintaining a convenient experience for students, staff and visitors.
A complete circular solution:
We offer a complete circular solution, including smart cup manufacturing, smart bins, reverse vending machine, collection and washing arrangements into one reuse model. Venues can choose from RVM, Smart Bin and Smart Gate configurations.
