Responsible Cafes program

Calling all caffeine dealers! We love you and all the awesome coffee goodness you provide! We also love finding ways to promote the great, sustainable things you do to support our environment. 

That's why we've created a new partnership with Responsible Cafes to support you to reduce plastic waste and single-use containers. 

Responsible Cafes is a not-for-profit program designed to support local cafes to reduce their plastic waste.

We noticed an increase in single-use takeaway containers during Covid-19 and this partnership is designed to support local cafes with resources to reduce plastic waste, encourage positive change and celebrate the wins with your customers. 

To help make the transition to lower waste easier, the first thirty eligible cafes to sign up to Responsible Cafes will receive:

  1.  A starter pack of reusable Huskee Cups worth $300;
  2. A sample box of compostable single-use alternative products worth $55;
  3. A Promotional resource pack including posters and social media tiles to promote your efforts;
  4. A map listing on the Responsible Cafes website that is used by 1000's of customers weekly searching for cafes that are doing the right thing for their community and the planet.

If you are a keen bean, you can register your cafe on the www.responsiblecafes.org   website or email business@surfcoast.vic.gov.au for more info.
