Rhima has unveiled its latest innovation, GoodTergo, a cleaning system for reusable containers designed to support the shift from single-use packaging to reuse solutions.

As a specialist in industrial cleaning and sanitation, Rhima has long championed the move towards circular economy practices. The company’s “Rethink. Reuse. Rhima.” ethos has seen it work alongside community initiatives such as Rethink Recycling, which repurposes plastic bottle caps into new products. Now, with GoodTergo, Rhima is extending this focus by providing a scalable technology solution to reduce single-use waste.

The GoodTergo system is engineered to sanitise cups, bottles, and containers to high hygiene standards.

Technology designed for reuse

At its core, the GoodTergo features advanced cleaning technology that meets and exceeds stringent hygiene standards, making reusable cups, bottles, and containers safe for public and commercial use. But it doesn't stop there. The system also offers a full hydration experience, providing filtered, carbonated, or hot water on demand.

Practical applications

Rhima says GoodTergo has been developed to be durable and intuitive, suitable for deployment across a range of environments, from cafés and corporate offices to public spaces. By offering a user-friendly system, the company aims to make the transition from single-use to reuse straightforward and appealing for both businesses and consumers.
