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.

CREATIVE CAPITAL ARTS TRUST
The fair dues Cuba crew
The CCAT charitable organisation supports Wellington’s arts ecosystem.
Through producing events such as the NZ Fringe Festival, Classical on Cuba and CubaDupa, thousands of artists have had opportunities to reach new audiences, grow their careers, push their creative vision and be paid fairly.
“We have a dedicated and passionate small team working to be creative, innovative and curious.
This year, we worked hard to put over $100,000 in grants and $350,000 in ticket sales into the pockets of NZ Fringe artists.
We also nurture our own team: by encouraging staff to take control of projects and have ownership of their work, they move up into leadership roles that set them up for industry success.” says Marketing Director Emlou Lattimore, pictured.
