Revolutionizing Sustainable Beverage Packaging with RFID Technology

Revolutionizing Sustainable Beverage Packaging with RFID Technology
April 19, 2024

A British entrepreneur dedicated to promoting sustainability in the food and beverage service industry has developed a groundbreaking solution that aims to eliminate the use of disposable paper or plastic cups by integrating RFID technology.

 

Founded by Alasdair Hood, Delete Cups offers a system that includes reusable beverage cups with Radio Frequency Identification RFID tags, readers deployed at coffee service points, and software to manage sales and return transactions.

 

One of the cafes embracing this technology for a more sustainable packaging solution is South Street Kitchen in Sheffield, UK, co-founded by Rachel Connish. This seasonal, vegetarian, and vegan Middle Eastern restaurant is leveraging the system to help achieve its goal of complete product recycling.

 

 

How Does the System Work?

 

With the Eliminate system, cafes provide polypropylene plastic cups embedded with built-in RFID tags. These cups, manufactured by sustainable packaging company Bockatech, are designed to withstand at least 500 washing cycles.

 

When a customer places an order, the cup is filled, and the barista can write the customer's name on the cup, which will be washed off during the next cleaning cycle.

 

Customers are informed that their drink is served in a reusable cup, and if they return the cup to any participating café for reuse, they will receive a one-pound refund credited to their account upon purchase.

 

At the point of sale, during the transaction process, the order details include an item pointing to the Eliminate Cups deposit, which is added to the charge for purchasing coffee.

 

The beverage is handed to the customer through an RFID checkout mat, where a reader and antenna capture the unique ID encoded on the RFID tag on the cup. The data is captured by the software and linked to the payment system.

 

Eliminate Cups is not just a sustainable solution but a step towards a greener future in the food and beverage industry, promoting environmental consciousness and reducing waste one cup at a time.
