Cafes and Eateries going Single-Use Cup-Free for UseYourOwnCupFriday
April 2021 is the first month of #UseYourOwnCupFriday
Every Friday of April, cafes around New Zealand are pledging to go free of single-use cups, workplaces are signing up to encourage staff to BYO mugs for their morning smoko, and individuals are committing to use our own cups or make time to stay.
Here, we share with you a list of all the cafes and eateries around the country who have taken the plunge to go single-use cup free (SUC-free) for the Fridays of April (some of these cafes are actually SUC-free fulltime!) - we’ve ordered the list by region so it’s easy to find the cafes closest to you!
Have we missed anyone?
Or do you think your local might want to get involved? Get in touch and let us know - there's still plenty of time for everyone to sign up and take part.
A HUGE thank you to these hospo outlets who have stuck their necks out to support the kaupapa of an Aotearoa without disposable cups <3 Let's give them our love by remembering to bring our own cup, making time to stay, or borrowing a mug or cup from their mug libraries or reusable cup schemes :-D
