Post-Event Collection Service: Efficient and Sustainable Closure 

The post-event collection phase is often a crucial logistical challenge. After days of activities and significant strain on the organizing team, collecting reusable cups can become complex without a well-structured plan. At ENCORE!, we offer a comprehensive collection service that can be adapted to different levels of intervention: from active collection on-site by our team to simply transporting properly palletized pallets to our washing or storage center. 

What does our collection service consist of? 

1. Option A: Complete Collection by ENCORE!

• Our team remains at the event until the end or arrives just before its closing. 

• They are responsible for collecting all the cups from the return points, separating them, and palletizing them properly, following a counting and classification process. 

• They coordinate directly with the carrier for the loading and departure from the venue, relieving the organizer of this task. 

2. Option B: Collection and Transport of Already Packaged Pallets 

• The event team (or external personnel) organizes and palletizes the cups at the end. 

• Our carrier arrives at the agreed time and loads the pallets of cups (clean or dirty) to transport them to the washing center or a designated warehouse. 

• This way, the organizer does not have to worry about finding an additional carrier or managing schedules, as ENCORE! coordinates the logistics service. 

In either option, the goal is to ensure a smooth transition after the event, without letting the collection logistics become an extra burden for the organizer. 

Key Benefits 

• Operational Load Relief: The organizing team can focus on dismantling and closing the event, completely delegating the management of reusable cups. 

• Avoid Stock Losses: Having a clear collection and counting procedure minimizes losses and optimizes the reuse system. 

• Agreed Schedule: We adapt to the time windows available at the venue, whether it's hours after the event or up to 48 hours later, depending on the needs. 

• Secure Transportation: We work with trusted carriers, using packaging protected against humidity and dust, to maintain the quality of the cups during their journey to the warehouse or washing center. 

Step-by-Step Collection Process 

1. Prior Planning 

• Before the event, we define the work plan, access times to the venue, and the expected number of pallets. 

• Our team or the client's team knows exactly when and how the collection will take place. 

2. Collection and Packaging 

• Option A: The ENCORE! team is responsible for collecting used cups, separating them, and palletizing them. 

• Option B: The client leaves the cups ready on pallets for easy loading. 

3. Transportation and Tracking 

• The carrier arrives within the agreed time slot. 

• Loads the pallets properly protected with film, ensuring they are not damaged or come into contact with external elements. 

• If any unforeseen events arise (traffic, weather, etc.), communication is managed with the venue and the client to reorganize the collection. 

4. Arrival at the Washing Center/Warehouse 

• Once at the ENCORE! facilities or the agreed location, a count of the received cups is performed to prepare the final report. 

• If applicable, the washing process and preparation for future events begins. 

Impact on Profitability and Sustainability 

• Cost Savings: Avoid hiring a new logistics provider, as ENCORE! coordinates with its transport partners. 

• Waste Reduction: By recovering the majority of the cups, waste generation is minimized at the end of the event. 

• Operational Optimization: By simplifying collection, delays or extra costs due to prolonged storage at the venue are avoided. 

• Post-Event Transparency: We offer detailed reports on the number of cups recovered, the percentage of reuse, and the positive ecological impact. 

Service Guarantees 

• Total Stock Protection: We use plastic film and labeled pallets to prevent confusion or damage during transport. 

• Flexible Schedules: We adjust to the venue's restrictions and can collect at night or the following day. 

• Tracking and Support: We maintain an open communication channel at all times to resolve unforeseen events. 

• Specialized Team: If you request on-site collection, our professionals know how to handle large volumes of cups without complications.
