RECUP is a German store equipment supplier that offers refillable cups and bowls, mostly for cafes, restaurants and canteens. Costumers can buy the refillable cup or bowl supplied by cafes and restaurants as well as a deposit. The deposit will be quickly and easily refundable when the cups are returned to any participating retailer in the RECUP network. Customers can also use the cups in non-RECUP stores or swap used cups for clean ones at RECUP partners. This system reaches a large customer base as reusable cups are easily accessible in places needed and could help to decrease the number of throw-away coffee cups which reached in 2017 an amount of 320,000 disposable cups.
