Support
Your business, restoration,
our expertise, reuse
Coconstruire ensemble, the tailor-made reuse solution that meets your challenges for responsible, virtuous consumption in catering establishments.
At Uzaje, we pool the know-how of all the players in the reuse loop to offer you specialized, personalized support. Our aim is to provide you with the strategic keys and action plan you need to make reuse a reality in your daily life.
The themes we can address at Uzaje :
Eliminate disposable packaging with Uzaje (cardboard cup, plastic tray, PP tray and plastic bag, plastic bag) and replace them with reusable containers. We recommend durable plastic, stainless steel or glass containers, in various sizes and formats, adapted to your use...
The transition from disposable to reusable containers requires the implementation of a traceability and/or deposit system to ensure the proper return of containers.
We study container flows and advise you on the best approach and how to implement it in your organization.
On-site or outsourced cleaning requires adaptation of catering and production areas.
We analyze container and guest flows to help you organize container collection and storage areas, as well as the choice of collection furniture in the case of snacking-type catering offers.
Given the variety of catering, production and volume spaces, we study in-house/outsourced cleaning options and their impact on your in-house organization, space and economics.
We'll give you the strategic keys to a relevant, tailor-made decision.
Piloting experiments
Test, learn, draw conclusions, improve, deploy
Experimental piloting enables you to test on a small scale the reality and operation of a reuse system within one or more establishments, with the aim of deploying a high-performance, optimized system over the longer term.
We support you from A to Z throughout your project:
- Set-up: recommendations on the elements to be acquired for the experiment to run smoothly: adequate quantity of primary containers according to the modalities envisaged (number of pieces to ensure the loop), secondary containers, suitable labelling solutions, return solution and any other necessary equipment.
- Negotiating and purchasing materials
- Project management: discussions with restaurants and kitchen teams, on-site training of teams prior to the launch of the experiment.
- Arrangements for outsourced cleaning, collection and delivery logistics
- Definition of measurement tools and monitoring of KPIs: container breakage and loss/theft rates, return rates, adoption rates, etc.
- Co-construction of communication elements
- Support for grant applications (optional)
Experimental results, economic modeling and vision for deployment :
With the feedback and KPIs of the experiment defined upstream (adoption rate of reusable vs. disposable, return rate, breakage/loss rate...) Uzaje will draw up a decision-support document and make appropriate recommendations:
- Guest feedback
- Operational review (production team)
- Economic modeling for large-scale deployment
