Backcup: the machine that rewards reusable cup returns

Innovative reverse vending system for sustainable events

Backcup is our innovative reverse vending machine designed for events, festivals, hotels and popular celebrations. It works simply: the user inserts their Ekomon reusable cup, the machine validates it automatically and returns the previously paid deposit.

Furthermore, Backcup can be programmed to go further: instead of directly returning the deposit, the cup can become an opportunity to participate in a prize draw or promotional activities. This way, we not only encourage cup recovery and recycling, but also motivate the public with more fun and sustainable experiences.

With Backcup, organizers drastically reduce waste generation, improve sustainable event management and comply with European single-use plastics reduction regulations.
