Uzaje was born of a conviction: that reuse must become a reality in our daily lives. We develop industrial solutions for the reuse of containers and packaging. Our main activity is industrial washing, and we design and operate washing centres to meet the needs of 4 types of customer: - Food industry - Mass distribution - Commercial catering - Contract catering We also support our customers in their transition to more sustainable packaging, by helping them choose containers, set up collection and logistics solutions and manage deposits. Our second activity is support for reuse: support and experimental costs (advice on containers, washing, logistics, setting up pilot schemes). Uzaje is recognised as an expert in industrial washing by the food industry. We have demonstrated our expertise in this field, having washed more than 250 type of packaging since our beginning (all containers and materials)
