Campus Cafés are going even greener!

Eden and Hinaki Cafés are excited to present a  new sustainability initiative!

We’ve partnered with Again Again, a local company that provides a container borrowing service. Again Again is sustainable in more ways than one—our cafés no longer have to absorb the cost of disappearing mugs, while continuing to avoid single-use cups.

It’s easy to use:

1. Download the Again Again app and sign up.
2. At the café — open the app, click to borrow and hold phone scanner to “check out” containers.
3. To return at café — open app and scan to return.
4. That’s it! Easy as.

The app is FREE to use, as long as you bring back the container within 12 days. The app will keep track of how many days you've got left. You do need to enter your card details when you sign up, but you won’t be charged unless you keep the container past the loan period. The charges vary based on the container you choose, but they’re all priced reasonably. And once you’ve been charged that container is yours to keep.

But of course, we’d rather not charge you—we want to keep the containers in circulation to be used again and again.

You can return your containers to Eden Café, Hinaki Café or any other business that uses Again Again. The app has  a map of all the places you can borrow and return containers, which includes locations at the University of Otago and all around Dunedin. That means if you buy a coffee at Eden Café and walk to the Octagon, you can return your cup at a café there instead of carrying it around all day.

All the containers are stainless steel, and get fully sanitised between uses. 

Download the app ahead of time to avoid delays at the counter, and join us in saving the planet one cup at a time.
