Trashless Takebacks is a network of reusable, swappable, lovable to-go cups. They turn a cost (disposable cups) - into real earnings, while saving the coffee shop time, and attract more environmentally sustainable consumers.
Easy to set up and reuse - these cups stack tightly and are washable just like dine-in cups. Made in the USA with BPA-free polypropylene - a safer, recyclable material compared to the polyethylene coating that lines the insides of most ‘paper’ cups that makes them non-recyclable and non-compostable.
Trashless Takebacks are dishwasher safe and are engineered for 100s of uses.
Customers pay a recommended $3 to join in - giving the shop a total of around 70-80 cents in savings & earnings (50 cents margin on new cups, 20-30 cents savings on disposable cups). They can then swap their cup at any participating shop or venue for a clean one filled with the beverage they order. We recommend they keep their lid, or purchase another one for 40 cents.
The cup is 17 fl.oz. in volume, with a 12 fl.oz. mark. They can be used for hot and cold beverages. It’s a versatile, strong, beautiful cup that serves all purposes and gives customers a better drinking experience.
Every cup has a playful, unique name, and its own QR code affixed on it that identifies them. This lends itself to the shop being able to run simple promotions such as “Bring back the cup ‘Playful Monkey’ for a free drink on us.” Trashless & Odeko can run such campaigns at a wider level as well.
The design on the cup is contributed by local artists and changes regularly. This process is run on social media, using tags and hashtags, with the most liked artwork making it on the next batch of 5000 cups on a rolling basis. Find details on the Trashless Instagram and Twitter accounts @trashlessdotcom.
It is recommended that the QR code is scanned by the coffee shop after washing and before reuse via the easy to use Trashless mobile app, after logging in to their shop’s account they can create at trashless.com/takebacks. This builds up your shop’s live environmental impact report and helps you stand out as a leader in your community.
These cups also cut down on your trash hauling effort and cost, help utilize your current costs better, while also saving storage space by reducing the inventory of cups you need to store.
Trashless Takebacks cups are a climate change fighting solution that help save the humpbacks, while earning you some greenbacks.
