AGAIN AGAIN
Guilt-free Cups Deluxe....
After a light bulb moment in March 2018, in which Nada Piatek Managing Director, (pictured) saw a systematic approach to addressing single-use waste in the coffee industry, Again Again was born – and so was the reusable takeaway coffee cup revolution.
"Again Again offers a sustainable solution – in a Kiwi industry that sees 295 million single-use cups entering landfills and the ecosystem annually – through a reusable and refundable coffee cup share system, which stops upwards of 820,000 single-use cups entering landfills annually.” Nada tells us.
The reusable steel cups are available with a deposit and return at participating cafes, giving coffee fiends peace of mind with every sip.

GIVE
Tick Boxes Clever
​
Based in Rongotai, GIVE is the first business to introduce innovative, sustainable packaging options to the jewellery industry. The idea to provide handcrafted sustainable jewellery boxes came to fruition when they noticed there were no sustainable options on the market.
“Being ahead of our time in an industry that we had no prior experience operating in, while juggling a young family and facing many rejections from retailers early on, we now supply three hundred jewellery stores in over twenty international markets,” says co-founder Nicolette Jones (pictured with co-founder Mahon Jones).
GIVE grew at a rate of 52% in the last financial year, and they plan to increase their current base of 300 customers to 1500 by the end of 2025.
