Quantity estimate
Stock is linked to attendance, duration, service-point throughput and any opportunity for interim washing.
GUIDES
Practical guides to reusable cups and tableware
Clear answers for organisers, caterers and teams implementing reuse for the first time.
REUZO
From an open question to a workable plan
A reuse system starts with real information about attendance, programme, service points, food and drink, and the return process. Only then can the right product, quantity and safety stock be selected.
Our guides separate product choice, stock calculation, deposits, return points, washing, transport and preparation for the next use. The goal is not generic advice but a better decision before ordering.
DECISIONS BEFORE THE EVENT
Practical knowledge that reduces on-site improvisation
Product choice
Capacity, shape, stacking, service method and printing requirements all influence the best format.
Clear returns
Deposits, tokens, signs and return points need to make sense to both visitors and staff.
Hygiene and the next cycle
Collection, sorting, washing, drying, inspection and storage are one connected process.

Four areas that have the greatest effect on the system
01
Attendance and throughput
Look beyond total attendance to peak times, programme length, number of outlets and service speed.02
Food and drink offer
Beer, wine, cocktails, coffee and food require different capacities, shapes and packing methods.03
Deposit and return
Define the deposit value, return rule, locations, signage and the people responsible for cash and stock.04
Clean and used logistics
Plan clean storage, collection of used items, crates, pickup and washing times before the event.PRACTICAL USE
