We take off thinking
from Consumers
Sign on the product = sign on the basket
Simple, legible and universal lettering
Ease of application - one- color sign
all printing techniques, embossing (plain or transparent materials), hand drawing
legibility from a height of 1 mm - very small products
the possibility of using Braila for the blind
the possibility of determining liquids
Applied by the manufacturer based on the guidelines from the ClearCycle system
Everyone can create their own bucket, bag, waste box - all they need to do is draw a mark on what they hold in it.
Can be written in any transliteration and used worldwide - understandable without knowing the local language
There is no need to teach Consumers about materials science (a hypermarket has approximately 35,000 products)
Product marking
Advanced system - basic version
saving time and money for all participants of the raw materials circulation system
The developed system of marking method eliminates the need to teach consumers about thousands of types of waste, their variants, whether it is wet or dry, and to teach them which container to throw the used product into for further processing.
We use Consumers to perform work that can be converted into specific money and time.
ClearCycle allows system overseers (country group, state, province, county) to sort garbage with any accuracy
Grouping products into separate processing paths for existing and invented in the future
medicines, fertilizer packaging, batteries, photovoltaics, perovskites, electronics, containing nanoparticles, etc.
Combine product groups into one container - consider local processing options
Separate B2B and B2C processing paths
Rapidly respond to threats and enable the processing of new products related to emergencies such as the COVID epidemic by:
new label for special products such as anti-virus masks
possibility of manual marking of used and hazardous products
Obtaining homogeneity of the waste
We take the responsibility off the consumer for the correct recognition of the type of material to be segregated.
and
-
Identification of refillable products
-
At the same time, it can remain in its processing path uninterrupted for the system to count as the main character
-
Easy recognition for deposit and return systems
-
An alternative to recyclomats - works without electricity
Which product is easier to process?
Building consumer awareness
Advanced system - level 1
-
Simple scale of recyclability - the difficulty of restoring the product to the basic raw material
-
0 - pure raw material can be processed immediately
-
above 9 assign the letter G, i.e. unprocessable
Product purity
The recycler can choose a product that is easier to recycle
Advanced system - level 2
-
Information for the recycler about the technology needed to process the product into a raw material
-
the possibility of planning the resources needed to process the introduced volume of products on the market
-
Specifies the product value for the Recycler
-
Valuation parameter for a separate project of the Convertible Raw Materials Exchange
Impact on the planet
Protection of natural resources
Advanced system - level 3
-
A comprehensive valuation of the costs of energy and raw materials needed to make a product that the customer has in his hand
-
lower values mean a better product
-
-
The actual environmental impact of a product and a manufacturer can be compared
-
Possibility of planning the profitability of the project for Producers
Full scale
Producer, Consumer, Recycler, Administration
Advanced system - level 4
-
The ClearCycle system provides for the possibility of expansion and cooperation with existing solutions supporting the circular economy in Europe
The load increment diagram for the environment on the ClearCycle sign
The goal of changing your mind - a better product is the one that better protects our common goods - oxygen, water, raw materials
A more attractive product for the Consumer means a greater problem in its recycling and its lower value after use for the System
Complex and difficult to process products are the price that the Producer should pay in the Extended Responsibility system based on a reliable valuation
The key is the consumer
Consumer's choice is a solution to clean up the planet
-
learns the scale of the difficulty of processing seemingly the same products
-
knows how much energy and raw materials were used to produce a single product
-
does not need advanced knowledge to sort the rubbish correctly.
-
G marking is a lost product - it cannot be returned to the market using the current technology
Clear Cycle - clean circular economy of raw materials
One tool for all system participants
-
The project covers all entities involved in the circulation of raw materials in the economy
-
The system allows you to calculate the real costs of the product for each stage of its life
-
All participants use the data they collect together, enabling them to apply it to specialized applications
The developed labeling system eliminates the need to teach consumers about thousands of types of waste, their variants, whether it is wet or dry, and to teach them which container they should throw the used product into for further processing.
We use Consumers to do the work that has to be done manually by someone in a garbage sorting plant.
Components of the project
One tool for all system participants
-
The project developed by the Clear Cycle Foundation integrates all entities involved in the sale of products and their recycling in terms of economic valuation, the impact of individual stages of production and recycling on the environment.
-
The project focuses on creating a useful tool to support all participants of the system, taking the role of an expert center for all participants of the system in the field of materials science and processing of used products. It does not punish, but helps.
-
The Clear Cycle system monitors and evaluates the entire life of a product from the extraction of raw materials, through producers producing final products, customers deciding on the choice of environmentally friendly products, to their recovery from used products and re-introduction into circulation in the form of new products.
-
It eliminates from circulation economy those of consumer products that cannot be processed - especially important for developing countries, without advanced recycling technology.
