-
The business has made a significant effort to move away from single-use practices and items and towards re-use instead. An example of this is establishing a mug library or borrowing system to reduce the use of single-use coffee cups.
-
The business provides a borrow, swap or loan system so that customers can use free or low cost vessels to purchase food or drink to divert single use packaging.
-
The business will refill people’s water bottles for free, regardless if they are customers or not. Refill NZ is an app supported by Auckland Council that lists locations on a map for people to find - also a database we could tap into.
-
The business sells plant-based options.
-
The business is composting the majority of their food scraps and some soft paper through a composting system. For example, all food scraps and napkins from the kitchen are composted but perhaps not all the paper towels from the bathroom.
-
The business is sourcing local products, produce or onselling for local makers. For example, this could look like cafes buying NZ produce to cook with, and the homeware store stocks locally made ceramics or crafts
