Problem
Workplaces generate significant single-use coffee cup waste, contributing to landfill and environmental concerns. Traditional reusable cup options often require employees to manage their own cups, leading to inconvenience and low adoption rates.
Solution

The service provides reusable cups to office buildings and cafes, which customers can drop off at designated "Drop Pods" within their workspace after use. Cercle then collects, washes, sanitizes, and returns the cups, ensuring a continuous supply of clean reusables. This end-to-end service eliminates the hassle associated with traditional reusable cup programs, encouraging greater participation and waste reduction.
