Made4Loop – deposit system for reusable packaging
From July 1, 2024 entrepreneurs selling drinks in disposable cups will have to provide their customers with alternative packaging that will be more environmentally friendly and help reduce the amount of plastic waste. This obligation results from the Polish SUP Act, which is a transposition of EU Directive 2019/904. One way to adapt to the requirements of the plastic directive is to introduce a deposit system for reusable returnable packaging in your company.
Looping – Interzero's response to the obligations imposed by the SUP Directive
Looping is a unique solution that will help you implement sustainable, reusable and ecological alternatives to disposable cups and food packaging in your company.
The Made4Loop model created by Interzero involves the use of reusable cups and packaging , which customers rent for a deposit and then return in a deposit system. In this way, the packaging remains in a closed loop and is reused dozens, if not hundreds of times.
Benefits of introducing the Made4Loop system in your company
Our Made4Loop model is not only a way to adapt the company and its branches to new legal requirements. The solution created by Interzero provides a lot of additional benefits for your company, its customers and the environment.
