HOW THE CLEAR CYCLE SYSTEM WORKS?

An easy to understand system
unplugged and practical anywhere

THE CURRENT

SEGREGATION SYSTEM IS TOO

COMPLICATED.

the current system is too complicated, expensive and time consuming
it is hard to identify the materials of which the waste is made
the spending in material science and waste segregation is increasing but we still don't know to which waste bin should be discarded which waste
waste bins are distinguished by colors in order to make waste segregation easy, but we still don't know which waste goest to wich waste bin

We know the effects of the actual system - rubbish in the woods, seas and oceans.

KNOW THE

CLEAR CYCLE SYSTEM

AND TELL US YOUR OPINION

CHAPTER I

Each material has a concrete letter assigned

Each waste bin has also assigned a letter, identifying the material of the waste to be discarded in it. The user/customer checks, without needing a deep knowledge of material science, the symbol and matches it with the dustbin.

You eat a candy bar and you are left with a wrapper. After that you effortlessly decide in which wastebin to discarde it.

No colours
Simple symbol
Matching it to the product doesn' trequire a complex technology
You don' t need to know of which material is the wrapper made

CHAPTER II

REUSABLE MATERIALS

Packagings made with reusable materials should be useful for as long as possible, until they become too degraded to be used again, and then they should be utilized.

The manufacturer of a product receives the accorded graphic symbol for that kind of product, e.g. Glass bottle would have the letter B (Glass) and R (reusable). The product such marked is bought by a customer. The customer has at home dust bins for the letters A, B, C, D. Once the bottle used, they read the symbol B-R. In this case the user hasn't got a dustbin marked B-R and can follow one of the steps:

a) Create a B-R dustbin marking it with those letters

b) look in a public place for a waste container marked with the symbol B-R

c) discard the product in the bin B if the local system allows for the selection within the products in the B container of those destined for multiple use

Very often beer bottles are marked as reusable, but we do not have time to go the the shop to return them. They can be gathered in a dedicated waste bin.

A clear marking of the products that are reusable and those of just one us while conserving the sorting easyness

CHAPTER III

SYSTEM FLEXIBILITY

The local sorting system decides that the sorting must take place in a further sorting step. The products might then be made of different or similar materials. The sorting facility posesses a device that can sort the groups B and C. In this case the user may discard the product in a waste bin marked with more than one symbol.

The waste sorting facility has the necessary thechnology to separate waste marked with either B or C that comes from the same waste bin.

thenks to this system it is possible to decide if a wste should be sorted at the user level or in a sorting facility.
it makes possible to adapt the system to the local infrastructures.

CHAPTER IV

SEPARABLE AND INSEPARABLE MATERIALS

The manufacturer makes a product composed of materials that receive the letters A D and E. Each of those materials can be easily separated by the user. The user reads the symbols marked in elements of the used product A D E and places the different elements in the waste bins marked with the letters A D E.

Products are, often, made with different materials. Without a proper marking we cannot know where to segretate them.

The manufacturer creates a product composed of a few materials, joined in such manner that the average user, without special tools, wouldn't be able to separate the different elements. The manufacturer marks the product with the letter G. The user places the used product in the waste bin marked with the letter G

Certain products are made with a mixture of materials, so well integrated that thay cannot be recycled

the Clear Cycle system is ideal for easily recyclable products.

CHAPTER V

UNUSUAL WASTES

The manufacturer creates a product which contents, once used, shouldn't end up in the waste bins which the user has at home, the ones marked with A,B,C,D. The manufacturer marks the product with the letter P, The user should then take the used product to a place where products marked with P are gathered.

Medicines which expiry date has expired cannot be trhown to common dustbins. The should be returned to a pharmacy - Not everybody knows that!

CHAPTER VI

DANGEROUS RESIDUES!

In the case of an epidemi, each product may be dangerous.
For that, use ! and mark yourself the dustbin or the product which has become dangerous for others!

You are Covid-19 positive. The juice bottle that you have used contains many viral particles - you can mark yourself. that a concrete product or all the waste bag contains products that are dangerous to the persons that collect them.

If the products are marked you don't need to keep all the containers at home, it is enough to have one or two bins and separate all while you discard the waste to the appropiate container..

Waste that is big and easy to segregate like bottles or carton parts of a courier box, generally do not fit in the small dustbins that we have got under the sink.

a simple marker or a piece of paper with a printed letter is enough to mark the container
we recommend collecting rubbish in this way to save space in the kitchen

CHAPTER VIII

YOU DON'T NEED TO KEEP ALL THE DUSTBINS AT HOME

Many residues are so rare or specific that there can't be a designated dustbin for them. The containers destined to receive them can be situated in public places. Those and the products to be discarded in them receive also their concrete letter.

We throw away batteries or rechargeable batteries relatively rarely. Containers for this type of products can be located in public spaces, from which it is easier to pick up a larger amount than from a single User.

CHAPTER IX

SOLUTION FOR BUSINESS

The system provides a solution for products and waste that do not end up in the hands of the average person, but that also require recycling.

The manufacturer produces a product that, due to its specificity, requires, after its use, to be placed in a properly adapted specialized container. Then a designation is used that does not appear in users' homes or in their public space. The given marking appears only in specialized manufacturers points who have the appropriate equipment for processing a given product. They then get their own two-letter or digital-letter designations. A home user can easily recognize that the product is from a known system that does not fit the containers kept at home.

the system provides for sorting waste with any level of detail provided for a given industry

Recycling of plastics and other raw materials.

The profitability of plastic processing depends on its current market price. We propose to increase the attractiveness to the recycling industry by reducing the costs of segregating individual plastic fractions. Appropriate containers for each fraction will be necessary for this.

CHAPTER X

UNUSUAL CASES

The system provides for the possibility to specify what types of products can be included in the system so that they can be further processed. Some products, as a result of their use, cannot be further processed because they are wet or just too dirty and contaminated with substances that are not processable

Decayed ketchup or mayonnaise in a plastic packaging D or in a glass jar B. After emptying the packaging with the substance, it can go to the appropriate dustbin D or B.

CHAPTER XI

CLEAR CYCLE SYSTEM - BUILDING A CONSCIOUS CHOICE

The modern economy needs to efficiently use all possible sources of raw materials. Customers want to know what is the cost for the environment.

The Clear Cycle system provides for the possibility of segregating packagings with any level of selectivity corresponding to the technological possibilities in a given territorial area in the field of waste segregation and collection. It favours environmentally friendly packagings.

CHAPTER XII

INTERNATIONAL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM

The system is universal and ready for use in any language - instead of the Latin alphabet, you can use characters from a given language code.

The role of the user / consumer, regardless of the language, is still only to match the sign on the packaging with that in the dustbin.

We want to raise, thanks to the Clear Cycle system, the customer awareness of what happens with the bought product after its use.
