What we do

Three ways to work together.

Each one has a clear scope, clear pricing and a result you can use. We own no vehicles and no wash lines. We work out what reuse really costs, and we manage the partners who keep it running.

How we work together

We publish what we charge.

It seemed the right place to start.

WAY IN · INITIAL CONVERSATION · 30 MINUTES, FREE

An initial conversation about your situation

We look at where you are: sites, container types, volumes, geography and what is prompting the question now. You leave knowing whether reuse is a realistic route for you and what a sensible next step would be.

You do not need a prepared brief or a finished plan. The questions you are currently stuck on are enough to start.

What it costs: nothing. Thirty minutes, and you leave with a next step.

1 · FIRST READ · FIXED PRICE · 2–4 WEEKS

What a cycle costs you today

We take your volumes, your geography and your current costs and tell you what one cycle actually costs, built from the bottom up with a source and a date behind every input.

With it come the three things that break first as volume grows, and what each would cost to fix. Fixed price, and it commits you to nothing.

What it costs: € 10,500 to € 16,500, agreed before we start. What you get: a cost-per-cycle model you keep, and a written read of where it breaks.

2 · MOBILISATION & VALIDATION · FIXED SCOPE · 3–6 MONTHS

The operating model, written down

We develop the operating model together with your team: collection procedures, standards for the wash centre, logistics routing, framework agreements with partners and hygiene compliance (ISO 22000 / DIN 10522, HACCP).

With it comes a validated cost-per-cycle model and a sensitivity analysis, every input sourced and dated. You keep the whole thing and run it yourselves.

What it costs: a fixed fee, scoped and agreed in advance — € 28,000 to € 45,000 depending on scope and geography. Paid against milestones, and it ends by itself.

3 · OPERATING MANDATE · 12 MONTHS INITIALLY · NO ASSETS OF OUR OWN

We run the partner network with you

Some teams outgrow the pilot model. For them we manage the partners behind the loop: collection scheduling, coordination with the wash centres, return logistics, service-level governance and monthly reporting on cost per cycle. We coordinate operators rather than being one.

We take on a loop where we have qualified wash and return capacity — today the German-speaking markets and the lanes that adjoin them. A loop is bounded by distance, not by borders: in our published sample model, just under 32% of the cost of a cycle sits in the kilometres between customer, wash centre and return point.

What it costs: a fee per cycle, with a monthly floor. Our fee is the pool-management line in your own model, not an addition to it. Twelve months initially, then rolling with three months’ notice either way. Third-party costs are passed through at cost, with no mark-up.

Discuss a mandate

Prices apply to the German-speaking markets, as at July 2026. The operating mandate is quoted against your pool size, because a fee per cycle only means something once we know how many cycles there are.

What happens after the project

Most of the work starts once it runs.

A playbook you can run yourself is a real outcome, and for some teams it is the whole engagement. For others the operating model is where the work begins, because a loop that runs needs someone watching it every month.

Part of the offer today

Ongoing partner management

Where you want it, we take on the coordination and management of the partners involved: collection scheduling, the wash centres, return logistics, service levels and monthly reporting on cost per cycle.

Part of the offer today

Developing the partner network

Qualifying back-up partners, renegotiating service levels, and removing the single points of failure a growing loop exposes.

Our direction, not yet our record

New sites and new countries

The same operating model applied market by market — Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, France — with a partner network that gets denser each time.

Honestly stated. The first two are services we offer today; we have not yet delivered them under a signed inolarity mandate. The third is where we are heading, and we would rather label it as intent than let it read as a track record.

Common questions

From operators and investors.

We have never run a return loop. Where would we start?

With the initial conversation, looking at your current delivery model — sites, container types, volumes, geography. From there we map the loop and identify the partners it would need. You do not need any existing infrastructure.

We are not sure reuse will pay for itself. Is it too early to talk?

No — that is the question we hear most often, and it is a fair one. Reuse economics depend on volumes, distances, return rates and how partners perform, so the honest answer is that it varies. We would rather help you test it early than watch a plan get built on assumptions that do not hold.

Our pilot has stalled. Can you help with that?

Usually, yes. Pilots stall for structural reasons: one wash partner carrying too much, return cycles longer than planned, or routing that leaves vehicles running empty. We look at where the model breaks under volume and what would have to change.

Are you an operator or an adviser?

We are not an asset or pool operator. We develop the operating model and, where we have qualified the partner capacity, we take on the ongoing operational management — a mandate you can commission today, not a plan for later. We own no wash lines and no vehicles. Because we do not sell what we assess, our view of your operations stays independent.

How do you arrive at the cost per cycle?

From the bottom up, with a source and a date behind every input — cleaning, losses, transport, pool balancing. We model against the capacity partners can actually deliver rather than a best case. Where a figure is uncertain, we show the range instead of picking a number.

Why would we need you on an ongoing basis?

You may not. If the playbook is what you need, take it and run it — that is a complete outcome. Teams keep us on when the loop is live and someone has to hold the partners to their service levels: watching the cost per cycle month by month, and qualifying the next wash partner before the current one becomes a single point of failure.

Can we keep the work in-house?

Yes. The playbook is yours to run. In an operating mandate the procedures, partner agreements, cost models and data all stay with you, so you can take the work back whenever you want to.

Tell us what you are working on.

You do not need to have every answer before speaking with us.
