Facts about “Operation Chip It”

Different messages about ‘Operation Chip It’ are circulating in the media. Some are correct, but there are also many misunderstandings. The short and simple facts are as follows:

 

  • 1. From the 10th of January 2011 FloraHolland, GASA, Landgard and CC will scan all incoming containers.
     
  • 2. From the 10th of January 2011 FloraHolland, GASA, Landgard and CC will only hand out genuine CC Containers. 
     
  • 3. In December / January you will receive new ID tags (‘padlocks’) according to the number of CC Containers you have under contract with CC. CC will credit you GBP 0.17 per CC Container for the tagging. 
     
  • 4. If you have more CC Containers than stated in your contract(s) with CC, you can currently add these to your CC contract holding at a special license fee of only GBP 5 per CC Container. After the 10th of January 2011, the license fee will be GBP 15. 
     
  • 5. All containers without the new CC ID tag and the CC metal plate will be rejected. 
     
  • 6. New ID tags that cannot be scanned or give an error message will, in the first instance, also be accepted and included in your balance. They will, however, be recorded separately. 
     
  • 7. A special Control Group, manned with both internal and external experts, will investigate and report any suspicious flows or patterns. This is necessary in order to find and eliminate misuse of our common system. 
     
  • 8. If the situation demands it, customers with suspicious flows or patterns will be asked to improve control before hand-in so that any misuse can be avoided.

Scan your CC Containers – YOUR Guarantee!

Containers without a genuine CC RFID tag are not accepted in the CC Pool System. Therefore, we recommend that you always scan the containers you receive.
