PLUG AND PLAY 2 ZERO WASTE – Cleaning Infrastructure for Reuse in combination with Bio-based Cups & Mobile Application
Partner(s)/Owner(s): Alchemia-nova Greece
Brief Description:
PLUG-AND-PLAY 2 ZERO-WASTE delivers a fully scalable solution to prevent plastic waste up to 70% at tourist hotspots and high-traffic venues. Unlike traditional reuse models, this solution addresses multiple critical issues in sustainable event management. Its key competitive edge lies in the decentralized, closed-loop cleaning infrastructure, which enables safe and hygienic treatment of reusable cups and bottles directly at the point of use—eliminating the logistical burdens and environmental costs of transporting reusables off-site.
Problem:
Festivals, tourism hotspots, and outdoor high-traffic events generate massive amounts of single-use plastic waste, particularly from items like 0.5L cups and plastic water bottles, which account for over 70% of event-related waste. Despite growing environmental concerns, reuse systems face significant challenges: lack of on-site cleaning infrastructure, high upfront costs, fragmented logistics, limited stakeholder coordination, and consumer reluctance to return reusables. These barriers hinder the widespread adoption of sustainable practices, especially in high-traffic and water-stressed locations.
Solution:
The PLUG-AND-PLAY 2 ZERO-WASTE system offers a scalable, circular solution that integrates mobile cleaning infrastructure, bio-based reusable cups and bottles, and smart tracking via a mobile app. Designed for seamless event integration, the system enables efficient on-site reuse with nature-based water treatment, real-time monitoring, and stakeholder coordination. Through flexible leasing models and event-specific customization, the system ensures broad applicability across the hospitality and entertainment sectors empowering organizers, municipalities, and businesses to drastically reduce plastic waste without compromising hygiene, efficiency, or user convenience.
