What type of container?
Only cups or also bowls, pre-packaged items or even integration of multiple systems?

Collect
Collection through return networks
Return networks must be practical and integratable into daily routines. After return, simple and efficient reverse logistics processes are needed for collection points to keep operational effort as low as possible.
The decisive cost driver in the COLLECT value space is empties consolidation. The goal is full pallets and fully loaded trucks that drive down the reverse logistics unit cost.
From a cost perspective, standardisation is preferred and deviations should be minimised. While some materials like glass require high protection, necessitating the use of crates, other materials such as plastic can be nested, collected in larger containers to keep on-site space small and processes simple.
Clear definition of return points is crucial
To define system requirements for collection processes and data capture, several questions in the COLLECT value space must be answered. For example for plastic-based food packaging:
Where to return?
At the deposit machine, at the cash register, in public spaces or even at delivery services?
How and where to consolidate?
In bags, in crates, in collection boxes, in interim or regional warehouses?
How and where to capture movement data?
Which data standard is scanned how and where?
Consider cost and simplicity
System administration and reverse logistics must be accessible, practical and volume-oriented:
For users
Simple return and deposit handling as learned from the beverage industry
For staff
Simple pre-sorting, data capture and deposit handling
Consolidation
Maximising units per pallet, high volume equals low costs.
