KeepCups - moving
from disposable to
reusable
Did you know most disposable
coffee cups can’t be recycled?
At Officeworks, we care about the
impact we have on the environment.
Over the years, we have launched
several initiatives to support this
commitment such as Restoring
Australia, FSC certified paper
products, a comprehensive recycling
program and strategic goals to reduce
waste.
We also believe little actions can
have great impact. Even one person
making a small change can make a
big positive difference.
That’s why in July 2018, we launched
a reusable cup initiative for all
new starters to receive their own
Officeworks-branded KeepCup. The
initiative will help to make a bigger
positive difference by reducing single use
coffee cups destined for landfill as well
improving the onboarding experience for
new team members by making them feel
valued and welcomed to the team.
Since the introduction, the East Bentleigh
Support Office has significantly reduced
the number disposable coffee cups in our
waste and the feedback from our store team
members has been overwhelmingly positive.
It is a great incentive and the Hay Street
team love embracing the change from
disposable to reusable. — A massive
THANK YOU from all the team here!’ said
Chloe Bonnar (Store Business Manager)
Officeworks Hay Street (WA).
This is just another way Officeworks team
members are helping make a bigger
positive difference to the environment.
‘Here at Hay Street we run on caffeine, hot
chocolates and the love of helping making
bigger things happen!
We love our KeepCups so much
so the coffee shop next door
knows our order by our colour
cup! The impact it has had on
our waste has been immense,
as just a rough guide we have
stopped at least 500 paper
cups and plastic lids going to
the trash!
