The Turn Solution

Explore our proprietary reuse system designed by global leaders Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG)

TURN’s sustainable and scalable solution to displace single-use plastic combines systems thinking with the principle of circularity. Systems thinking considers the bigger picture of how system components fit together; circularity minimizes waste through closed loop production. TURN’s system revolves around four components—smart cups, smart bins, smart software, and smart washers–which fit together in one beautiful, waste eliminating circle. 

100%

01. Smart Cups

Our patented smart cups are fitted with digital tracking technology and come in all shapes and sizes. Built from recycled polypropylene, aluminum, or stainless steel, they can be reused up to 120 times.

02. Smart Bins

Just as important as our cups is our technology for ensuring they are reTURNed for reuse. Our patented collection bins utilize smart technology to incentivize reTURNs and allow for quick, efficient, and safe dispensing.

03. Smart Software

Smart software is a key part of TURN’s beautifully circular system. Our enterprise API lets venues keep track of bin collections in real time and our consumer app rewards users for reTURNing cups. 

04. Smart Washers

The TURN system wouldn’t be complete if it didn’t do the washing up. Our patented smart washer is 500% more efficient than alternatives and can be transported to venues for mass on-site cleaning.

Fact: Only 9% of all plastic ever made has been recycled.

Who uses turn

Over 3,000 customers trust TURN. Our systems cater to events like music festivals and sporting competitions, and for businesses like cinemas, airports, and stadiums. TURN’s customizable smart system provides unique branding opportunities for any business wanting to join the reTURNable revolution.
