HOW IT WORKS

Make an impact.

1. BORROW

Simply select your favorite reusable product and pay a small deposit.

2. Enjoy

Your sustainable alternative to single-use, whether at home, in the office or out and about in the park.

3. RETURN

It is best (but not absolutely necessary) to rinse the cup briefly after use. Simply hand it over at the reverse vending machine or at the checkout and get your deposit back.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH

TAKING ON THE PLASTIC CRISIS WITH REUSABLES

In the EU, by 2050, ocean plastic could overweigh fish if we continue global plastic production and usage in the current manner.(1) Our seas are already flooded with plastic waste breaking down into tiny particles.(2)
In the EU, half of marine litter is packaging waste.(3)
Each EU citizen creates 188.7 kg annually, fueled by increasing single-use takeaway packaging. (4,5)
EINFACH MEHRWEG can replace single-use packaging through reuse and reduce the ecological footprint in the long term.

91%  LESS WASTE COMPARED TO SINGLE-USE

On average, our reusable packaging creates 91% less waste over a lifespan of 50 cycles, compared to 50 single-use packages. The results are based on the LCA of our small 500ml EINFACH MEHRWEG container, verified by Bureau Veritas.

IMPACT REPORT

Our sustainability experts got together to write our fist Impact Report. It's a study about the impact that the EINFACH MEHRWEG system has on the environment. It will be released soon, if you wish to receive a copy of it, sing-up here.

The ADVANTAGES of EINFACH MEHRWEG

The most convenient solution to replace single-use cups.

RETURN VIA Reverse Vending MachineS

Our cups are designed so that they fit into reverse vending machines and can therefore also be returned e.g., at all REWE stores in Germany.

FUNCTIONAL DESIGN

The design of our packaging is important for efficiency in all phases of the cycle, but of course also for your everyday use.

Food safe

Leak-proof

Stackable to save space

WE TAKE CARE OF THE WASHING

It's best to just rinse it out briefly and give it back straight away. Together with our washing partners, we take care of professional and hygienic cleaning.

LOW DEPOSIT AMOUNTS

When shopping, you quickly need a few more reusable packaging. We have therefore kept the deposit amounts as low as possible.

-91%  LESS WASTE

On average, our reusable packaging creates 91% less waste compared to single-use packaging. This is shown by our verified life cycle assessment with an external institute based on 50 cycles.

YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

To date, your active decision to use EINFACH MEHRWEG has helped save 1,2 million disposable packaging from being thrown away (as of April 2024).

"The best system I have used so far. Easy to get and even more easy to return. EINFACH MEHRWEG has changed my experience to take away food. I feel good about my choice everyday, since I feel I am contributing to preserving our environment".

Hannah F. from Hamburg

"The best money I have spent in my life. Thanks to Saasable, we saw a 120% increase in conversion rates and doubled revenue in three hours. I want to thank all the flowyak's team for making these results possible. Their only goal is to make small startups succeed and they are very good at it. We are one of the many living proofs.".

Packaging information

MADE IN GERMANY

Our reusable packaging is of high quality and is produced at several locations in Germany.

500 CYCLES AND MORE

After just a few cycles, our reusable packaging is ecologically better than single-use packaging. The more cycles, the better. Therefore, all cups and containers are designed for at least 500 cycles and professional washing.

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT PUT IT IN THE MICROWAVE

Reusable containers can stay in the cycle for significantly longer if we don't put the containers in the microwave to heat the food. Just put the contents on a plate.

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT PUT IT IN THE FREEZER

Reusable makes sense if it is used again and again. If you would like to freeze leftovers, please use your own container and return our container straight away. The recommended temperature range for our packaging is 0° to +90°C.

100% RECYCLABLE

Our reusable packaging is only made of polypropylene (PP) and is not mixed with other plastics (composite material). At the end of its life, this is ideal for processing granules and producing new products.

BPA AND TOXIC FREE

Of course, our reusable packaging is continuously checked and is tested and approved for use with food and beverages.

Our first impact report highlights EINFACH MEHRWEG’s ecological benefits over single-use alternatives from our life cycle assessment results and provides insights into sykell’s environmental, social, and governance practices.
