You may be reading this article because you produce or market products of different kinds and you intend to find out how to introduce them into the circular economy circuit so that the raw material from which they are made is not lost. If you have reached this point with the conviction that this is the right path, congratulations, because the willingness to set the product recovery process in motion is the necessary condition for the rest of the steps, i.e. receiving or collecting items, finding partners and tracing the waste journey, to flow smoothly.
In Revivack, a “product” can be many things depending on who registers it: A brand might register something they sell. A recovery agent might register what they recover. What matters is that each item shares a clear structure and recovery potential, whether it’s branded, generic or just material-based. In this article we tell you how to take the first step, i.e. choose the first product.
Let’s start at the beginning: what is a CIRCULAR PRODUCT?
It is different to see how to expose a PRODUCT that you are selling, with the PRODUCT that you are going to receive to recover it. A PRODUCT registered for return and recovery, i.e. a circular product is one that is composed of the same materials or components, regardless of its shape or size.
It is any item that meets certain specific criteria of composition and willingness to recover. Here are the essential characteristics that a product must have in order to be registered on our platform.
Characteristics of a CIRCULAR PRODUCT
1. One or more items grouped together, but always with the same materials or components.
A CIRCULAR PRODUCT can be any individual item composed of different materials to be recovered separately. Therefore, it is vital that the products are stored and then separated into their parts and recoverable materials in an orderly manner.
For example, City Tour’s “headphones” are stored, collected and then separated into their three components (copper, PVC and aluminum) so that they can be easily recovered.
However, as a company you can also register a grouping of items with the same product concept, since all items that share a similar composition can be considered a single product in our system.
For example, you can register the product “Cookware” as long as the items under this heading, such as frying pans and casseroles, are composed of similar parts and materials, such as PVC and aluminum handles, for example.
This grouping facilitates the recovery and recycling of materials, optimizing the process and reducing costs.
2. One or Several Brands
The product you register can belong to your brand or to the brand of other companies. The important thing is that your entity is willing to take it back. This collaborative approach allows multiple brands to work together to achieve common sustainability and circular economy goals.
Benefits of Registering a CIRCULAR PRODUCT
1. Circular Economy: Contributes to the reduction of waste and the conservation of natural resources.
2. Regulatory Compliance: Ensures compliance with environmental regulations.
3. Brand Image: Improve the perception of your brand as a responsible entity committed to the circular economy.
