What is the Miniml Closed Loop System?Updated a month ago
At Miniml, we are committed to creating a more sustainable future. Our closed-loop system is one of the key ways we’re working to reduce waste and minimize our environmental impact. Here's everything you need to know about how it works and how you can participate.
What is the Miniml Closed Loop System?
A closed-loop system is a sustainable approach where products and materials are continually reused rather than disposed of after use. The goal is to close the loop on the lifecycle of products, ensuring that materials stay in circulation for as long as possible.
In our case, the closed-loop system allows you to return your empty product containers after use so they can be cleaned, refilled, and reused instead of being thrown away. This helps reduce plastic waste and the need for new raw materials, contributing to a circular economy where we use resources efficiently and sustainably.
How Does It Work?
Purchase a Product: When you buy a product from Miniml, it comes in packaging that is part of our closed-loop system.
Use the Product: Once you’ve used the product, you’ll have an empty container.
Return the Container: Instead of discarding the empty container, you can return either 4 x 5L pouches or 4 x 1L pouches to us. We’ll clean, refill, and reuse these containers, keeping them out of landfills.
Please note: The other bottles we sell are your "Forever Bottle." These are designed for long-term use and are not part of the returnable system.
Why is the Closed Loop System Important?
The closed-loop system reduces the need for new packaging, conserves resources, and cuts down on waste. By participating in this system, you’re directly contributing to reducing plastic waste and the environmental impact of disposable packaging.
The Benefits Include:
- Reduced Plastic Waste: Reusing packaging helps prevent plastic from ending up in landfills.
- Encouraging Recycling: The system promotes recycling and helps customers make more eco-friendly choices.
- Sustainability: It supports our goal of creating a circular economy, where products and materials are used for as long as possible.
How Can I Participate?
Participating in the closed-loop system is simple:
- Keep your packaging: Save your 5L or 1L pouches from Miniml products.
- Return your containers: When you're ready, send back either 4 x 5L pouches or 4 x 1L pouches. Please note that our "Forever Bottles" are not part of the returnable system.
- For more details on how to return your containers, check out our sustainability page or contact our customer service team for guidance.
