We believe that the Future is Returnable. Circular Design can save the world. For the last 20 years Circular have been pioneering a Circular
approach to design and product development. The Circular Returnable Cup has been uniquely and specifically designed for commercial deposit return schemes. After 2 years of development and 12 months of field testing in a variety of DRS pilots, the attention to detail makes the transition from single to returnable as pain free as possible. Everything has been considered and tested. Single-use coffee cups are soon to be driven out of use, whether through legislation, climate and consumer pressures. This means very soon 95% of the population who are still using single use will need a workable cost effective, hassle free solution. The following document explains why the Circular Returnable Cup is the right choice for your business.

SMART C u p Technology
By giving our reusables a unique digital identity, your organisation can make the ‘Internet of Things’ a reality for all, unlocking possibilities across retail and supply-chain management, driving value and growth. Low cost, contactless communication technologies connecting the cup to consumers with the tap of a mobile.
Tracking & Tagging options available: 1 . QR code – unique codes laser-etched for maximum durability 2. RFID tag – encapsulated within the base RFID technology enables the communication between an unpowered tag and a powered reader.
3 . NFC Chip – encapsulated within the base An NFC device can act not only as a reader, but also as a tag. It is also possible to transfer information between two NFC devices. Each chip/tag can be pre-programmed to your needs. You can also of course, operate DRS or returnable cups schemes with no tracking at all. *Tag specifications a n d technical d a t a sheets c a n b e provided on request.
