This slider displays simple impact conversions of replacing 1 x 12 oz single-use disposable coffee cup and lid ($0.25) as the conversion. Actual impacts may be much higher and depending on project scale, uptake, and options chosen. Full Cercle impact reporting can calculate full community impacts and important reuse metrics such as return rates and use cycles. Check out our Impact Page to explore further.
How Cercle works in a Community
Cercle integrates into any business environment or precinct using a combination of smart products and streamlined processes.
Easy implementation
Cercle provides all products, signage, placement support, processes and training for all users of reuse.
Premium experience
The Cercle Blue is highly recognisable and we work with world-leading partners in developing our reusables and systems. Customers enjoy their drink and food in premium reusables, and both use and return anywhere.
Venues focus on service
Venues serve in reusables with minimal disruption. Optional Cercle Reserve tech for deposit-free charge in open systems, with no apps or complex tech/integration burdens reducing the barriers for uptake.
“Drop It” – Simple collections
Wehn customers are done, our systems allow them to return cups to any designer Drop Pod, Smart Pod or designated return point — no need to return to the original location.
“Do it Again”
Simple, repeatable behaviour, high adoption, zero waste.
Cleaning and returning reusables
Cercle reusables can be commercially washed for 1,000’s of uses. Venues can wash with existing serviceware, or discuss with us an off-site washing infrastructure to truly unlock the potential of reuse, like Cercle Social’s off-site wash hub (Sydney Metro). Clean cups are professionally washed offsite and redistributed to venues and the “Cercle” repeats!
Government and Councils using Cercle
Food courts, universities, airports and commercial precincts reducing waste at scale.
Trusted by
Cercle works with Councils, corporates, landlords, developers, universities, cafes and more to develop the reuse solutions of the future.
Brand the entire area
While Cercle Blue is designed for a visually unified, appealing and identifiable reuse opportunity, there are many custom branding options to promote a message and unify a council or project.
Cups
Laser etched for durability. Highlight your brand and commitment, as well as important reuse messaging.
Food Trays
Multiple container types to provide clear and inspiring messaging. Custom colour options.
Drop Pods
Visually connect your branded reusables in colour and image to the return points.
Smart Pods
Clear messaging and sponsor branding opportunities on these engaging return points.
Washing Reusables
Unlock reuse in any community by investing in wash hub infrastructure. This allows offsite washing and unlocks businesses and events that cannot wash reusables, but still want to use them.
On-site cleaning
Most precincts already have dishwashers — Cercle integrates directly into existing processes.
Off-site cleaning (Wash Hubs)
Don’t want to (or can’t) wash? Use one of Cercle’s dedicated wash hubs and don’t worry about the washing. Cercle collects full pods, washes cups in dedicated wash-centres, and returns clean stock when you need it. Available in NSW, VIC and more areas coming soon.
Cleaner-friendly designs
All our cups, containers are made to be commercial dishwasher safe. Our Drop Pods are simple to move and clean. Removable (and reusable!) sleeves simplify servicing even in extremely high-traffic environments. Don’t treat your reusables like waste – treat them like the amazing assets they are.
