Reusabowl

Founded in Wellington, we’ve created a Network of sustainable eateries, and a growing movement of customers asking for reusable options.

How it works

Offer reusables with our simple borrowing system.

• Customers borrow a bowl for a refundable $10
• They can return it to any participating eatery in our Network where they can keep reusing by swapping the bowl for a newly cleaned one with their next takeaway, or get their money back.
• Eateries wash used bowls, ready for the next borrow.
• We rebalance the system if eateries end up with extra stock, by buying back extra bowls.

Reusabowl is proudly plastic free, made from rice husk, with a leak-proof silicone lid.

It’s designed to fit all food types with more sizes in the works.

We support our suppliers with:

• In-store marketing materials and point of sale signage
• Social media promotion as part of our sustainable eatery Network
• Staff training materials and customer support
• Our risk-free payment terms mean we deliver product at $0 upfront, with payment due 20th month following for the $10 fee per bowl and our monthly subscription. This allows you time to collect bowl fees from customers before passing that payment onto us.

We're currently serving Wellington - coming soon across NZ! Sign up to stock Reusabowl below or to join the waitlist for when we come to your region.

"Since offering Reusabowl there has been a huge reduction in the waste we create from single use packaging. It's so easy to use, our food looks great and customers love it!"  -Taste of Home

“Reusabowl takes care of our takeaway packaging for our salads and pies. We love how excited our customers are to use the product and we get excited because the service creates loyalty and reduces the need for single use packaging to go into the rubbish. Thanks Reusabowl!!!!” -Pickle & Pie
