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.

ANGEL DELIVERY
Devine Deliveries
Since 2008 Angel Delivery has been delivering hand-made ready-to-eat meals and treats all around New Zealand.
Last year over 60,000 meals left their Porirua base, a 26% increase in online sales on the previous year. All by connecting Kiwis through their unique insulated hampers as an ultimate expression of their motto ‘Food is Love’, along with their latest 'Flower Mail' offering of stunning fresh flowers delivered NZ-wide.
“The distance and disconnect of modern life means we can’t always personally drop off a lasagne or posy of flowers to our loved ones during hard times, but our meals and treats offer practical and perfect ways to send your love and care,” says GM and co-owner Grace Kreft, pictured right with founder Rebecca Cass.

DIGNITY NZ
Positive Cycle Ways
Dignity offers organic, sustainable period product solutions to workplaces, through their Buy One Give One model.
Period products are provided to employees to create more equitable, inclusive workplaces that enhance employee well-being and productivity and help reduce the stigma, shame and costs of periods.
They then work to solve period poverty, by gifting the equivalent amount to youth and community groups across Aotearoa, for people experiencing hardship. Dignity Co-founder Jacinta Gulasekharam also led the Positive Periods Campaign which resulted in the government pledging $2.6M towards free period products in schools.
Dignity is proud to have gifted over 900,000 period products since Dignity began, to help create Period Equity in Aotearoa”, says General Manager, Lisa Maathuis pictured.

MOTHERS RUINED GIN
A message in their bottle
As a sustainability-focused small batch gin distillery, Mothers Ruined Gin uses an Australasian-new recycled paperboard bottle for its current range of four gins.
Its dairy-byproduct base alcohol is configured with traditional and innovative botanicals for maximum flavour and to showcase two unique colour changes.
“We hope our recyclable paperboard bottle will become an industry-standard packaging option compared to single-use glass bottles,” says co-founder Jo Davy pictured right with co-founder Helen Gower.
Japan is a key medium-future market, leveraging off the premium exported apple "Pink Lady"® - already used in two of Mothers Ruined Gin’s gins.
This little distillery has big ambitions but will remain committed to finding sustainable solutions as the business grows.
