Public Use of the MUSTreusables Solution
Use the camera of a cell phone (or a mobile device) to scans the QR code on the container label
This group of information includes the required deposit amount for the selected container, the address(es) and the deadline when customers have to return a container to get a refund.
In case customers want to keep a container for their private use (i.e., keep past the return deadline), the deposit amount, collected by the restaurant, will be their cost for the container. At its end-of-life a container should be returned back to the restaurant for proper recycling.
With the MUSTreusables system, restaurants have the option to provide food related information to improve customer satisfaction of their takeout foods. Once prepared and made available online, an item on the restaurant takeout menu can be selected when filling or checking-out a container, and its food related information will be attached and become part of the container information.
If available, select “More details about the Menu item“ will display the following information for the currently contained food item:
- How to best prepare, serve, and/or preserve the takeout food?
- Any health related warning that the consumer needs to be made aware of?
- What is the typical nutritional value per serving for this particular takeout food?
- Container material indicates the exact type of material that was used in the manufacturing of a container.
- Reused-cycles counter keeps track of the number of cycles that each container reaches at any point in time. This indicates the reusability of the current container when compared to the other types of containers.
- Availability of recycling data indicates that useful information, needed to create the best recycling condition for a container, do exist on the MUSTreusables database. Recycling data, accessible with an authorized access, allows end-of-life containers to be returned uncontaminated back to the sources, and the right quality of feedstock material to be controlled during recycling process.
