Are you ready to
ditch SINGLE USE
from YOUR business?

LET'S WORK TOGETHER!

"There is no such thing as 'away'.  When we throw anything away, it must go somewhere"

Why it matters

The planet is drowning in single use waste.  As a nation, data states we DITCH at least 295 million single use cups EVERY YEAR across Aotearoa New Zealand!  And the stats on single use food containers is equally as ugly!

All these items, USED JUST ONCE then chucked into our greenspaces, our waterways and the ocean.  And what's worse, it's literally your hard earned cash being chucked into the landfill with every single use vessel!

We designed the swappa APP platform to provide business owners like you, a super easy to operate, reusable cup and food container swap system, so you can lead the change and support customers to CHOOSE REUSE NOT ONE USE everyday!

We're driven by a need to urgently encourage a shift in kiwis mindsets when it comes to their daily choices for takeaways.  We can do this by collaborating with you - awesome, passionate, like-minded hospo business owners who really do understand the importance of partnering to make REAL SUSTAINABLE CHANGE when it comes to single use waste and CHANGING CONSUMERS HABITS for the better good.

    FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS
Customers download the swappa APP in-store, by scanning your in-store QR code and fill in just a few details.
It's FREE for customers to use. Each time they take or return a cup, they simply SCAN your in-store QR code.
Customers then SCAN the QR code to either 'swap n go' for a clean cup or just 'drop n go' to drop off a cup, if they don't want another drink.
You clean the cups as per your standard cleaning processes (they are 100% commercial sanitiser/dishwasher safe) then put them back out on the machine, ready for REUSE... and round and round they go!

When I Join CupCycling I Pledge:

  1. Use the CupCycling cups in accordance with the spirit of the CupCycling cup swap system
