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.

COFFEE SUPREME
World Class Cups
The coffee’s the thing with Coffee Supreme. Well, there’s also its full service to coffee drinkers, it’s community support and many green initiatives.
But the purpose has always been Better Coffee For All. That’s why Coffee Supreme now also has operations in Australia and Japan.
CE, Jesse Newson (pictured) says it’s a company with some tasty ambitions. “Earlier this year, we acquired a site in Sydney, which we've transformed into a flagship cafe and soon-to-be roastery. We’ve got a few other cities in our sights, one cup at a time."

GOOD NATURE
Pest-free Planet
Goodnature’s traps are helping bring biodiversity back to the world.
The Newtown firm started in 2005, making traps to eradicate pests in a humane way and allowing New Zealand’s wildlife to thrive again.
Last year it sold 100,000 traps, with 80 percent of its revenue coming from overseas.
Bryan Tarlowski, (pictured left) international business development manager, says all this cleverness comes from its Newtown factory using mainly local materials.
“We are proud of our product, but our greatest achievement is we are helping people outsmart pests, allowing spaces to become wild again.”

SEEN SAFELY
The Hi-Viz Whizzes
Seen Safety makes sensors that keep pedestrians safe when working near forklifts and other heavy mobile machines.
Once fitted to a forklift, SEEN's IRIS-860 sensors detect the retro reflective tape on hi-viz safety vests. If a pedestrian enters the detection zone, they and the driver receive an audible alert.
Chief Executive / Co-Founder Michael Scott (pictured right with Co-Founder / Head of Product Design, David Grove) says the sensor is a simple, effective and affordable safety solution.
“Many internationally recognized businesses already use SEEN and we are expanding in the US.”
