How it works

One loop.
Zero throwaway.

Everloop replaces single-use cups and containers with durable, food-safe reusables that move through a managed return-and-wash network. Customers borrow, sip and return. We collect, sanitise and send them back out. Nothing gets binned.

The loop at a glance

  • 1Use — order in an Everloop cup or container.
  • 2Return — drop it at any partner point.
  • 3Wash — commercial sanitising & QC.
  • 4Redistribute — back to cafés, ready to reuse.
  • 5Repeat — hundreds of times per item.

1 · Use

Order your coffee, smoothie or meal as usual and ask for it in an Everloop. At app-enabled venues you scan a QR code to borrow; at deposit venues you pay a small refundable deposit. Either way there is no extra cost to drink in — and nothing to throw away.

2 · Return

Drop your empty at any return point in the network — not just where you borrowed it. Bins and shelves sit in cafés, offices, transport hubs and on the street. Scan to close your loan (and release your deposit), or just place it in the bin. You have 14 days to return before a replacement fee applies.

3 · Wash

Returned items travel to our regional wash hub, where they are sanitised in commercial dishwashers at high temperature, inspected for cracks or wear, and quality-checked before reuse. Anything past its life is pulled from circulation and recycled. Hygiene is verified against Australian food-contact safety standards.

4 · Redistribute

Clean, dry, quality-passed items are restocked and delivered back to partner cafés and venues on a regular collection run. Partners always have clean stock on hand, and never have to manage washing themselves — Everloop handles the logistics end to end.

5 · Repeat — hundreds of times

Each Everloop is built to be reused hundreds of times before retirement. Every cycle keeps a single-use cup out of landfill and a little carbon out of the air. Multiply that across a whole city of coffees and the loop becomes real, measurable impact.

The containers

Designed to be used a thousand times

Everloop containers are made to outlast hundreds of single-use alternatives — and to be genuinely nice to drink from.

Material

Food-safe, BPA-free polypropylene — lightweight, shatter-resistant and dishwasher-rated.

Sizes

8oz, 12oz and 16oz cups, plus 700ml and 1L meal containers with leak-resistant lids.

Lifespan

Engineered for hundreds of wash-and-reuse cycles before being retired and recycled.

Tracking

Each item carries a scannable ID so loans, returns and circulation can be measured.

Hygiene & safety

Spotless, every single loop

Reuse only works if it is impeccably clean. Every item is washed and checked to commercial food-service standards before it goes back into someone's hands.

High-temperature wash

Commercial dishwashers sanitise at high temperature to eliminate bacteria on every cycle.

Inspected & quality-checked

Every container is checked for chips, cracks and wear. Anything below standard is removed.

Standards-aligned

Our cleaning process is designed to meet Australian food-contact hygiene requirements.
