A French star-up was inspired by glasswashers installed in bars to create an instant dishwasher, capable of washing a cup or a glass in seconds.

A very practical invention, which could make it possible to definitively end the use of plastic cups.

An alternative to disposable plastic cups may have been found in companies: a machine that washes a cup or a glass, in seconds. 

In exactly ten seconds.

Washed, dried, disinfected!

As you know, since January 1, plastic cups have been banned in companies.

Yet a lot of it is still found in coffee machines or water fountains.

At best, we replaced them with paper cups.

Except that it still creates so much waste. 

In fact, everyone would love to switch to reusable mugs or cups.

But it is not easy.

Everyone must have their own.

You have to wash them all the time.

And how do you offer a coffee to someone passing through?

With this ultra-fast glass washer, you take the first mug you find and ten seconds later, you are sure that it will be perfectly clean.

How does it wash and dry in ten seconds?

It works like glasswashers in bars.

We put our mug or glass on a support.

The machine sends a jet of high pressure steam inside, which will clean it.

There is no need for detergent or water supply.

Because the machine uses very little (two centilitres per wash, almost nothing).

So a small tank is enough. 

It was a French startup that developed it.

I like its name: it is called "AUUM", it is the acronym for "Stop Single Use Now".

You should know: when it comes to collecting, distributing and washing cups, French startups are at the forefront.

I am thinking in particular of companies like NewCy or CleanCup.
