Reusable rather than single-use
Our NEW solutions for washing cups and bottles – easier and more sustainable than ever
Sustainability is a concept that has shaped MEIKO right from the start. Clean solutions must always be sustainable. In 2019, the F.A.Z. Institute even named us as an ‘innovation leader in green technology’ in a study.
And we continue to grow. Our approach: reducing plastic waste with intelligent commercial dishwashers. Allow us to introduce The MEIKO solutions for cup and bottle washing.
1. Raise your cup!
The problem with plastic
Our planet is drowning in plastic waste. And disposable cups are a big part of the problem. Both the general public and politicians are becoming more aware of this risk. All over the world. Even alternatives that claim to be environmentally friendly don’t provide the solution the world needs. To the contrary: They require more energy and resources, and still produce waste.

2. Let’s get tackling bottles!
For a cleaner environment
As a trend, sustainability is causing us to move away from disposable products more towards reusable solutions. This also applies to bottles. We are more and more often using glass bottles, carafes and jugs. And these have to be washed!
Bottle washing with MEIKO
No problem with the smart bottle rack system from MEIKO! And everyone benefits: operators, staff and guests or patients.
Two in one
In just a few flicks of the wrist, you can retrofit your M-iClean UM and M-iClean UM+ – converting the glass and dishwasher into a bottlewashing machine designed specifically to clean bottles.
16 at once
Sixteen bottles can be cleaned per wash cycle. And in the blink of an eye thanks to the short programme cycle time of the M-iClean U undercounter dishwasher.
The flexible plastic rack is suitable for a wide range of bottle sizes (up to a diameter of 114 Millimeter) and heights, and can even be retrofitted for all M-iClean UM and UM+ undercounter dishwashers from 2009.
Advantages:
- No new commercial dishwasher necessary, just a simple retrofit
- Flexible, smart rack system for a wide range of bottle types
- Saves time and costs compared with manual cleaning, with quick wash cycle times
- For the highest of hygiene standards: separate wash and rinse systems prevent water residue
- Wash nozzles easy to clean and replace
