The Collector makes it easy to integrate reuse into your operations.
"The reuse of packaging is gaining momentum, driven by growing environmental awareness and political support.
Beyond reducing waste, reuse generates resource savings and promotes the circular economy."
How it works
Your customers place their reusable packaging inside the Collector, thanks to an easy-to-use interface. They are refunded directly on their credit card, in a voucher or on their loyalty card.
Identification
The Collector is capable of identifying all types of reusable packaging (bottles, trays, jars, pots, metal boxes) offered by manufacturers and reuse operators. It allows you to centralize collection at a single point in order to facilitate the adoption of reuse by consumers.
Management of reusable packaging
The Collector allows you to monitor all collected packaging and share the data for reliable return to the sorting, cleaning and filling facilities, thus contributing to an efficient reuse loop.
Coopérative U
Thelma Roy - QSSE project manager"The installation of the Collector in three Coopérative U stores brings a new dimension to packaging reuse. With its large recovery chamber, the limit on packaging formats is lifted, and we can offer reuse in our beverage sections, as well as in the fresh produce and savory and sweet grocery sections. The machine has also been designed for in-store employees to facilitate handling operations."
Loop
Romain Zanna-Bellegarde - Commercial Director & Head of Loop France“At Loop, we’ve always been committed to making reuse simple, convenient, and accessible to everyone, and The Keepers Collector perfectly illustrates what we were looking for. It facilitates the return process by allowing any reusable container to be returned to the same terminal, thus accelerating customer adoption. The Collector offers innovative services in terms of refunds, customer ease of use, and in-store operations.”

Lucile Douaud - Marketing Director"We chose this approach because it's simply the best way to encourage our customers to embrace reuse independently, without constraints, while ensuring safety and hygiene for the store and our customers."
Berny
Claire Nijdam - Co-founder"The Keepers' fully automated collector has allowed us to offer stores a deposit system with the collector handling the entire deposit. Customers can return their tray to the store and get their deposit refunded without having to go through reception. The collector is sturdy, secure, and returning the tray is easy. The Keepers has been very attentive to the changes we've requested or the store has requested, and is available remotely to answer customer questions."
(RE)SET
Manon BESSONE - Manager at (RE)SET"The Keepers Collector was selected to collect reusable packaging from the "Bring it back for reuse" experiment, because it allows for the collection of all types of packaging (from bottles to buckets), and offers a simple and intuitive consumer interface. We have chosen an emerging solution on the market, and we are delighted to collaborate with companies that, like us, want to see the deployment of reuse accelerate."

Jenny de Vaucresson - CSR Manager"This is completely in line with our sustainable development approach [...]. We chose to work with Bout à Bout because it is a local company, from Nantes, and for its partnership with The Keepers, which manufactures its machines in Vendée."

Carrefour
Thomas Bou - CSR Project Manager"This innovation opens up new perspectives in reuse. Thanks to a wide opening, almost all of our everyday packaging is now eligible for reuse. Bottles, cans, buckets, trays, and even pizza boxes! It's quick and easy for our customers and our store teams, who now have a terminal that meets logistics standards. Not so simple when you consider how delicately the packaging is placed at the bottom of the bin!"
